The area shown is approximately +/- __ degrees offset from the planned waypoint. This is a software planning limitation for weapon timing.

A

70

35
Q

There are two launch points on the TSD during an MSHOT. The fixed or planned launch point appears ______. The second or floating launch point appears ______, and moves based on current early/late calculations by TOMS, indicating where the first missile launch point will be in order to meet DTOT.

A
White = fixed
Orange = floating launch point
36
Q

Regarding MiLARs, what is the difference between the solid and dashed lines?

38
Q

No Valid Solution for Planned STOT Mission

A

A valid solution will generally become available when the aircraft is within 10 nm of the Max Range LAR.

39
Q

No Valid Solution for Planned DTOT Mission

A

A valid solution will generally become available when the current time is within 9-14 minutes of the planned DTOT. If the waypoint moves to create a direct path between the aircraft and the target you will also receive this alert. Weapon release must occur prior to the waypoint moving.

A

The aircraft heading relative to the waypoint or target is greater than 90 degrees.

41
Q

In FR30 and FR40, alerts that cannot be overridden will appear with a YELLOW background. In FR30 and FR40, selecting Override Not In Range overrides the following alerts:

  • Target Range Exceeds Max MSL Range;
  • Aircraft or Waypoint Too Close to Target for Seeker Turn On;
  • BOL Destruct Range Exceeds Max MSL Range;
  • BOL Destruct Range Less than Min MSL Range;
  • BOL Enable Range is too close to Destruct Range;

  • BOL Enable Range Less than Min MSL Range.
45
Q

Warning regarding missile abort after ITL

A

If a missile is aborted after ITL, the missile battery may have been squibbed. Failure to leave the umbilical connected to the missile and place the missile in a safe area for 2.5 hours from ITL initiation may cause an unsafe situation. Notify the load team and EOD personnel of the ITL initiation.
