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
