25
Q

RFI detected threat/emitter symbols will not be selectable via the CAQ function on either the ASE or TSD pages when the _______ is the selected sight.

A

FCR

26
Q

What two pages are used to enable the RFI system if it is installed on the aircraft?

27
Q

How can the crew select a non priority Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI) threat to conduct a cued search on?

A

Reselect the cued search button and/or use the Cursor Select Function to choose an emitter.

28
Q

What four functions are performed when the CUED search button is selected?

A
  1. FCR centerline slews in azimuth to the RFI #1 emitter
  2. FCR is placed in the proper mode, unless already there
  3. Sets the appropriate Scan size as determined by how the threat was detected
  4. Scan will be automatically initiated.
29
Q

How is a manual cued search performed?

A
  1. An emitter is selected from the FCR page
  2. A single scan is initiated
30
Q

What indication does the crew receive if an emitter has been merged?

A

The RFI icon will appear within the FCR footprint as the NTS

31
Q

When performing an automatic CUED search utilizing the LHG, what will the FCR mode to if it is an airborne type emitter and the FCR is in the TPM mode?

A

ATM mode with a narrow field of view scan

32
Q

In order for the crew to perform a manual cued search when the FCR is the LOS, the RFI threat emitter must be selected from the ______ page utilizing the cursor select method

A

FCR

33
Q

What is the function of the CMWS system?
