25
What increases the probability of hit (PH) factor for SAL missile target engagements and for all weapons engagements where the laser is the range source.
A recent internal boresight.
26
What must the CPG do upon completion of the DTV boresight in order to begin the FLIR boresight procedure?
Release the Laser trigger.
27
What is the Copilot/Gunner (CPG) boresighting when performing an internal boresight?
The DTV Narrow and Zoom to the Laser and the FLIR Narrow and Zoom parallel to the DTV.
28
Is the Ground Override switch required to be placed in the override position in order for the laser to fire during internal boresight procedure?
No.
29
Which sensor is boresighted first during an internal boresight?
The DTV.
30
When are you required to do a TADS internal boresight?
TADS boresight shall be performed as part of preflight procedures prior to any firing of laser or weapons when TADS is used as the sight.
31
The internal boresight aligns?
- DTV narrow and zoom FOV coincident with the laser LOS -FLIR narrow and zoom FOV parallel to the DTV LOS
32
A recent internal boresight increases_____
Probability of hit (PH) factor for SAL missile target engagements and for all weapon engagements where the laser is the rangs source
33
What pages, when accessed, enable the crew to change the acquisition source?
FCR/UAV, WPN, TSD, ENG, FLT, ASE and AAG pages
34
Which cueing format is the most accurate?
The Cued LOS Reticle is the most accurate.
35
What is the default acquisition source?
FIXED
36
Can both crew members have the same ACQ Source?
Yes
37
The CPG has sight-selected the FCR. If the CPG attempts to cursor acquire (CAQ) an RFI Icon from the TSD, what will occur?
A Terrain point will be dropped at that location on the map.
38
From which pages can the crew Cursor Acquire an icon?
The TSD (CAQ option) The ASE (CAQ option)
39
The ASE page will allow cursor selection of which icons?
RFI and ASE icons.
40
Name the six available range sources in the CPG station?
Default, Radar, Manual, Automatic, Laser, and TGT/NAV.
41
How does a crew member select auto ranging?
Crew can select auto range 2 ways: a. WPN page – MANRNG select – KU wakes up, type in “A” and select ENTER. b. Keyboard Unit, Select “A” and enter.
42
Where is the current Range and Range Source displayed?
In the Range and Range Source Field of the High Action Display (HAD), left of the Field of Regard (FOR) and above the Sight Status Field.
43
What is the maximum range that can be displayed when using the TGT/NAV range?
32 Kilometers (N32.0)
44
What is the minimum and maximum range for Laser operations?
500 – 32000 Meters
45
What is default autorange?
LOS above -0.1 to A/C below 5 meters AGL
46
Laser ranging?
500-32,000 in 1m increments
47
If the CPG is designating a target, what indications within the range/range source field of the HAD would indicate that laser energy spilling over/under the target?
A flashing Asterisk in front of the displayed laser range, coupled with intermittent changes in range to the target that could not be the result of motion.
48
If the CPG is designating a target, what will precede the laser range when the laser is receiving valid reflected energy?
A solid asterisk (*) and a steady range. (*4552)
49
When using the laser to range or designate, what field of view should be used and why?
Narrow and Zoom because they are the only Fields Of View that are boresighted.
50
The laser trigger is located on which TEDAC grip?
Right Hand Grip
51
Laser trigger second detent release will cause the range to be dynamic for how long?
10 Seconds
52
Can the CPG move the TADS using the Sight Manual Tracker if the Scene Track is enabled?
Yes, the Scene Track gates will flash, then drop, and await the CPG to stop moving the TADS. Then it will establish a new Scene Track.
53
Can the CPG switch from FLIR to DTV during manual tracking?
Yes. There should be no affect when changing the sensor in use during manual tracking. Scene track will re-establish itself once you are in the new sensor.
54
If the CPG is using LMC to track a target while the aircraft is moving, what should the CPG provide in order to maintain a valid LMC track?
A valid range to the target.
55
Which switches, when enabled/actioned, will disable Scene Track?
Scene Track is disabled when the CPG enables/actions the following: -SLAVE Button -IAT/OFS/DEL – DEL Selected -IAT - Initiates a Point Track. -LMC Button -AZ/EL - Initiates/Conducts a Manual Drift null. -LT Switch - Auto or Manual - Initiates LT operations
56
Can the CPG switch the sensor in use if there is a Point-Track established?
Yes. When tracking in one sensor and observing in the alternate sensor, the tracker gates will change from brackets to “+” symbols.
57
When a target is deleted or dropped, a message is generated for the crew. What is the message and where will it be displayed?
TRK 1 DEL” in the “Weapons Inhibit” field of the High Action Display (HAD).
58
The Laser Tracker (LT) switch is functional when _____ is the selected LOS
TADS
59
Once the properly coded laser energy has been acquired by the Laser Tracker, what will the TADS do?
Laser tracking hardware takes over turret control once a spot is acquired, when in either the manual or auto mode. It will auto-track the TADS around the laser energy spot.
60
If the crew needs to change the LT code from “B” to “D”, which page should be selected to complete the task?
WPN-CODE-SET with LST selected.
61
How does the CPG regain control of the TADS LOS once the LT has locked onto a laser spot?
Place the LT switch into the “O” (Off) position.
62
When using the TADS, which switch on the LHG of the TEDAC must be utilized for storing a point?
STORE/UPDATE SWITCH
63
Where will targets be stored?
In the next available space within the appropriate coordinate (COORD) file.
64
If storing a target using the TADS, what verification does the CPG receive that the target has been stored?
The stored target position will appear in the weapon inhibit field of the HAD for 4 seconds.
65
What range is used in order to successfully complete an HMD store?
Autorange
66
If storing a Control Measure using the TADS, what page must the CPG have displayed in order to insure that a Control Measure gets stored instead of a Target?
The CPG must be on the TSD-POINT page with STO selected, then TYPE to CM in order to store a Control Measure, otherwise, a Target will be stored. (TSD-POINT-STO-TYPE: CM)
