25
If a No Fire Zone (NF) and Priority Fire Zone (PF) overlap, which takes priority for FCR target prioritizaiton?
The NF zone. When an FCR target is detected in both an active PF and an NF zone, the NF prioritization will prevail, meaning these targets will not get prioritized
26
How many targets is the FCR capable of detecting
1,023 targets
27
Upon completion of an FCR scan, the targets are displayed in “full intensity”. What does this mean to the crew?
The target information is new or updated.
28
At the completion of an FCR scan, moving targets on the FCR page will go stale after how many seconds?
5 Seconds
29
When is the NTS established?
At the end of the first scan of a scanburst.
30
What four things will cause the NTS icon to change?
1. Selection fo NTS at L1 2. Cursor selection of a different FCR icon 3. Sending a RFHO 4. Firing at the target with an RF missile
31
What happens to the NTS if the crew actions a weapon system during a scan?
The Radar Electronics Unit (REU) will establish a NTS based on the targets detected up to that point and will display a NTS icon around the target icon.
32
What does a broken (dashed) NTS symbol indicate?
-FCR is not the selected sight -A weapon system is not actioned -Aircraft is not armed
33
The Pilot’s selected sight is FCR and has a weapon system actioned. The NTS icon is still dashed. Can the CPG make the NTS symbol solid by placing the aircraft ARM/SAFE button to ARM? If so, why?
Yes. The ARM/SAFE button is common.
34
When is the LINK function ignored?
1. Crewmember's selected sight HMD 2.No NTS target exists if linking TADS to the FCR 3. When the TADS is being used as a sensor 4. Proper equipment not installed 5. FCR is selected sight and TADS is the ACQ source or TADS is selected sight and FCR is ACQ source
35
What will cause the LINK to turn off/de-link?
1. Link mode is toggled off via a reselection of the link 2. Change your selected sight 3. Change your ACQ source 4. NVS mode switch is placed into NORM or FIXED with TADS as sensor
36
The CPG has the M-TADS linked to the FCR NTS. If the PLT sight selects the FCR, what sight will the MP assign to the CPG?
TADS
37
Which crewmember has control of the FCR page TGT button?
Either crewmember can store FCR targets using the TGT button
38
What two ways can the crew store targets when the FCR page TGT option is selected?
-Selecting ALL button - Individually selecting the target icons using the cursor
39
What will happen if the "ALL" button is selected from the FCR TGT pg?
All FCR targets displayed on the FCR pg (up to 16) will be stored
40
What happens if a crewmember cursor selects a target icon when the TGT button is selected from the FCR page?
1. The target position is stored 2. The next available file status window is incremented to the next availbale file 3. The "ALL" button is removed
41
How can a crewmember store an FCR target from the TSD page and where will the target get stored?
1. Crewmember selects CAQ from the TSD 2. Cursor select a FCR target icon on the TSD 3. FCR target location is stored in T50 4. T50 will become the ACQ source
42
Who can send a RF handover (RFHO)?
Only the crewmember with the FCR as their selected sight, their IDM selector set on a tuned, Longbow NET, and a NTS present
43
Is there a "timeout" for sending an RFHO?
No, RFHO can be sent at anytime
44
When an RFHO is received, which crewmember can receive the RFHO?
Either crewmember in the receiving aircraft
45
What does a “NAV DATA INVALID” message in the Sight Status field of the crewmembers High Action Display (HAD) indicate?
The FCR has been selected as the active sight and the RF handover data recently received has been detected as outside the navigational performance parameters for weapons engagement. This is a SAFETY INHIBIT.
46
When the RFHO message is received, what must a crewmember do to transfer the information to the Mission Processor?
Crewmember must Sight select the FCR to transfer the RFHO data to the MP.
47
Once a NTS target has been received and accepted, what is the time limit to conduct an engagement on that NTS target?
None.
48
What classifications of FCR target icons display in the Air Targeting Mode (ATM)?
Helicopters (both hovering and in-flight), fixed-wing aircraft, and unknown.
49
What does the upper number in the FCR page Elevation Altitude Status Window represent?
The upper altitude of radar coverage at the maximum radar range
50
What does the lower number in the FCR page Elevation Altitude Status Window represent?
The lower altitude of radar coverage at the maximum radar range
51
What is the name of the FCR page “symbol” that displays when a RADAR scan is conducted over the tail or when the aircraft attitude causes the tail to interfere with the RADAR?
The Blanking symbol.
52
When the FCR ATM scan bar reaches the right perimeter of the currently selected scan size (except Wide scan), what happens with the scan bar if the crew is operating in the continuous scan mode?
The scan bar will reverse direction and continue the scan from right to left.
53
When operating the FCR in the Air Targeting Mode (medium, narrow, or zoom scan size), can the FCR centerline be repositioned to provide scanning to the rear of the aircraft?
Yes.
54
What does Terrain Profile Mode (TPM) provide?
An aid to navigation during terrain flight with reduced visibility.
55
What controls the scan size when operating in TPM?
Automatically controlled based on aircraft ground speed.
56
What ground speed will cause the TPM coverage to change from the Wide to Narrow scan width?
Increasing groundspeed to greater than 55 knots.
57
What ground speed will cause the TPM coverage to change from Narrow to Wide scan width?
Decreasing groundspeed to less than 45 knots.
58
How many obstacle symbols can be displayed in the Terrain Profile Mode?
64 obstacles.
59
Where can the crew access information as to the status of the Sighting System?
Their High Action Display (HAD) messages or on the DMS/DMS FAULT pages
60
If the Fire Control Radar (FCR) is shut down automatically due to an overheat condition, where will the message for this condition display and what is the message?
On the DMS page. Message will be: “FCR SHUTDOWN HOT”. On the HAD Sight Status Field: “FCR HOT”.
61
What does the message FCR MTI DEGR indicate?
This is a partial failure of the FCR, moving or airborne targets may not be processed. FCR operations in other modes is still possible
62
What does the message FCR STI FAIL indicate?
This is a partial failure of the FCR, stationary targets will not be processed but moving targets will.
63
What must the crew do to use the Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI) if the FCR fails or is not powered?
Ensure that the Mast Mounted Assembly (MMA) is pinned forward, select MMA to PINNED, then power the RFI.
