A LITENING pod, like the grey cylinder attached to the bottom of this
F-16 Fighting Falcon’s fuselage, is an operational precision
targeting pod system used with a wide variety of combat aircraft. The
416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., recently
started accelerated testing of a LITENING-AT targeting pod, which will
update the existing LITENING pod with several new capabilities,
including a video downlink transmitter currently used in the Predator
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
