From 1990, in addition to its role as an interceptor, the F-14A, noted for its long range and superior weapons systems, was designated as an air-to-ground strike plane. With this new role, the Tomcat was fitted with a new weapons arsenal. Since 1996, the F-14A has employed the AN\/AAQ-14 targeting pod, referred to as the LANTIRN. This targeting pod gives the F-14A precision bombing capability by procuring targets for nose-mounted infrared laser or other laser-guided weapons. The AN\/AAQ-14 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward-looking infrared sensor (which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot), a laser designator-rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, target tracking software, and more. The LANTIRN, combined with GBU-16 and GBU-24 guided bombs, enables precision striking with a minute margin of error from several meters down to tens of centimetres. This precision can be realised at long range. The VF-154 Black Knights are attached to the USS Kittyhawk, homeported at Yokosuka Harbour, Japan. The Black Knights were formed after WWII, and were deployed to both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. F-14As were employed with the VF-154 from 1984 and used extensively in Operation Desert Shield during the Gulf War in 1990.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFighter-Bomber Grumman F-14A Tomcat plastic assembly kit. 1\/32 Scale.
