General Description:
The function of the forward section assembly (fsa) is to detect the scene of the terrain in the flight path as an infrared image & to transform that image into a video image to the pilot so he can see the terrain. The fsa is made up of the optical & electronic eqpt rqrd to accomplish this function.
