Which missile release system automatically passes over stations not selected in the firing sequence?

Which missile release system automatically passes over stations not selected in the firing sequence?

• A. Air-to-air (A/A)
• B. Air-to-ground (A/G)
• C. Surface-to-air (SAM)
• D. Anti-ship (AS)

Answer: (A)

When a fighter carries missiles on multiple stations, the weapon control system uses a predetermined firing sequence across those stations. If you designate certain missiles to fire and leave others unselected, the release mechanism automatically skips the unselected stations and moves on to the next station that is chosen. This behavior keeps engagement fast and precise, letting you target multiple missiles without having to manually intervene for every station and without risking inadvertent releases from stations not in use. That’s why this describes air-to-air systems—their launch control is built to automatically pass over stations not selected in the firing sequence, ensuring only the designated missiles are released.
