At the time of its introduction the F-14A’s AN/AWG-9 radar was the most sophisticated airborne intercept radar in the world.
The powerful radar allowed an F-14 RIO to register up to 24 targets from a distance of over 200 km, and launch fire-and-forget AIM-54 Phoenix AAMs against six of them.
The system was unique at the time – and was extremely expensive. The individual price of an AIM-54 was over a million US dollars!

El sistema era único en su época y extremadamente caro. ¡El precio individual de un AIM-54 superaba el millón de dólares!
