3a Flashcards
The purpose of this is to generate and transmit RF energy, then detect part of the return RF for video processing
Strategic radar
How many LRUs RN a B-52 strategic radar set
16
This mode has a distance of 200 NM and is mainly used for navigation, target ID, tracking
Radar
This mode has a distance of 200 NM and is used for making air refueling Tanker rendezvous
Beacon
This has a distance of 200 NM And combines the use of both radar and beacon modes
Radar/beacon
This is used to provide to rain elevation information for low level flight
10NM display for pilot/copilot
25NM display for navigator/radar navigator
Terrain avoidance
This generates high power RF energy and output power of 80 -130 kW
RTM receiver transmitter modulator
This radiates pulsed RFenergy produced by the RTM and sends RF via waveguide
Antenna
This is driven electronically in azimuth and tilt, it has a 360° scan
Antenna
This develops antenna drive signal and face shifter position it; establishes a tilt stabilization
Antenna position programmer APP 
Performs terrain avoidance (TA) computational functions only during terrain avoidance mode
Radar processor RP
This converts TA profile video and clearance plane data into TV format used by pilot/copilot EVS monitors during TA mode
DG display generator
This converts ground map video into a format suitable for display on NAV/radar nav’s MFDs
Radar scan converter
This allows the operator to select modes, ranges, displays and special functions.
There are 6 of them
Radar control units
This is the main control point of the SR system
Radar control test panel
This provides power, antenna motion, RTM operation
Radar control test panel
This is located between the pilot and copilot station. It has four functions
Terrain display control panel
This contains receiver gain controls, video gain, etc. There are two – navigator, radar navigator.
Radar presentation panel RPP
(Rpp is all about the gains)
Controls high-pressure required
Radar pressure control panel
Energizes external power relays that control DC bus voltage
BNS external power panel
This provides ground cooling to antenna
Ground blowers switch
This is primarily an Offensive avionics system and CAD unit. It has major effects of strategic radar system
Radar navigation management panel
RNMP
This is primarily in OASCAD unit. It is used to select special radar functions during normal or emergency
Integrated keyboard
180° phase shifter – compensates for differences in waveguide sections
Radar support units
This is a display medium for radar video
Multifunction display MFD
This is the main interface between SR and computational avionics control units
Radar interface unit RIU
This decreases moisture content
Molecular air dryer unit
Final stage of filtering
Filter unit
