Function: The AN/ASQ 204 is part of the Integration and Display System. The mission control and display system provides the interface between the aircrew and the avionics systems. The control and display system consists of Video Display Terminals (VDTs), track handles, key- boards, and Control Display Computers (CDCs). The VDTs act as the central display of avionic and flight critical data to the crew. The keyboards, in conjunction with the VDTs, are used to enter changes and updates into the system. The VDT pushbuttons are used to select the data to be changed and the keyboards are used to enter the new data. The CDCs are responsible for processing the video signals that are eventually displayed on the VDTs. Each crewmember (pilot, copilot, navigator, and Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO)) has two VDTs, a keyboard, and a dedicated CDC.
