The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) serves as the primary interface for interacting with the various systems of the F-16 fighter jet. It facilitates critical functions such as weapon activation, navigation settings, and radio communications. When used in conjunction with the [[Data Entry Display]] (DED), which monitors and displays the weapon system's status and operational data, the ICP and DED together streamline the management and operation of the aircraft's complex systems. In essence, the ICP functions like a keyboard, allowing input and command, while the DED acts as a monitor, providing visual feedback and system status updates.

This is the most common ICP found in the F-16s

The Integrated Control Panel (ICP) serves as the primary interface for interacting with the various systems of the F-16 fighter jet. It facilitates critical functions such as weapon activation, navigation settings, and radio communications. When used in conjunction with the Data Entry Display (DED), which monitors and displays the weapon system's status and operational data, the ICP and DED together streamline the management and operation of the aircraft's complex systems. In essence, the ICP functions like a keyboard, allowing input and command, while the DED acts as a monitor, providing visual feedback and system status updates.
