Its automatic variable sweep wing and highlift maneuvering devices enable the F-14 to perform well at reduced speeds and greatly enhance its dog- fight capabilities. The heart of the TOMCAT, the highly advanced AWG-9 fire control system, is a product of the Hughes Aircraft Corporation. For a variety of missions, the F-14 can be con- figured with a combination of Allvl-54 Phoenix, Allvl-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. It is also equipped with an internal 20lVlNl Vulcan cannon. This arsenal of firepower and its outstanding maneuvering ability combine to make the F-14 TOlVlCAT the lXlavy's most feared and admired new development.
