In "Top Gun," a "RIO" refers to a Radar Intercept Officer, a role typically found in tandem with a pilot in a fighter jet. The RIO's primary responsibilities include navigation, targeting, and managing the aircraft's weapons systems, allowing the pilot to focus on flying and combat maneuvers. This role is prominently featured in the context of the F-14 Tomcat, where the RIO works closely with the pilot to execute missions effectively.
