The RFI gives the crew 360° of coverage. What numeric values define the fine area?
90°, with 45° each side of the FCR centerline
What is the primary difference between the fine and coarse areas of coverage?
Azimuth accuracy is much better than the fine area of coverage.
What three types of radar systems can RFI detect?
Pulse, Pulse Doppler, and Continuous Wave
What is a primary function of the RFI system?
It functions primarily as an offensive system that provides an FOV target cueing for onboard and offboard sites/sensors for employment of weapons.
What identifies an emitter that has been detected in the fine area of coverage of the RFI antenna array?
A triangle at the bottom center of the symbol
On what three FCR operational modes will RFI icons be displayed?
GTM, RMAP, ATM
How can you differentiate between a priority emitter that is tracking/missile guidance from another platform and an emitter that is signal, lost, lock, broken, or undetermined?
Home plate intensity
How many RFI emitters can be displayed on the FCR, ASE and TSE pages?
10
What symbology indicates an MRFI interim solution?
A line with increasing/decreasing Chevrons
What two configurations can MRFI be installed?
FCR (pinned) and URX
What is the advantage of MRFI over RFI?
Passive location of threats
How many ASE emitters (RWR,LDS, MWS) can be displayed on the FCR page?
None
RFI detected/Emitter symbols will not be selected via the CAQ function on either the ASE or TSD pages when the___ is the selected site
FCR
What two pages are used to enable the RFI system if it is installed on the aircraft?
FCR UTIL or weapon UTIL (Cpg or plt)
How can the Kruse select a non-priority radar frequency interferometer threat to conduct a cued search on?
Reselect the cued search button and/or use the cursor select function to choose an emitter
What four functions are performed when the cued search button is selected?
1.FCR centerline slews in azimuth to RFI #1 emitter
2. FCR is placed in the proper mode , unless already there.
3. Set the appropriate scan size, as determined by how the threat was detected.
4. Scan will be automatically initiated.
How is a manual Cued search performed?
- An emitter is selected from the FCR page.
- A single scan is initiated.
What indication does a crew receive if an emitter has been merged?
The RFI icon will appear within the FCR footprint as the NTS
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?
ATM mode with a narrow field of view scan
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
FCR
What is the function of the CWS system?
Used to detect and in conjunction with the ICMD, counteract IR missile threats
What component serves as a primary processing center for LWR, RWR, and CMWS systems?
Aircraft gateway processor (AGP)
What component houses the user data module for CMWS?
ECU
How can the AN/AAR–57 (V) be safed in addition to selecting the safe/arm button on the ASE, WPN, or Init page?
By installing the safety pin in the safety switch
Where are the HFI detect displayed on the ASE page?
Inner ring of the ASE footprint
Sites and weapons can immediately be cued to the azimuth of the HFI threat. True/false.
True
What are the 2 CMWS declared hostile fire threats?
Gunfire and RPG
The ASE auto store only applies to which type ASE points?
MWS Geo located points and MRFI points
Which page are ASE Geo located stored points displayed on?
TSD
In order to auto transmit a Geo located ASE point the CMDS system must be____
Armed
How many ASE Geo located points can be stored in the COORD file?
60, but can be indexed to 99
What do bearing lines indicate?
Pairs of Geo located ASE threat with a detecting platform at the time of detection. Altitude of detecting platform is displayed in MSL.
During an automatic dispense of flares is the air crew required to provide inputs to CMWS?
No
What 3 CMDS status indications are displayed in the CM inhibit status windows?
Arm, safe, or PIN
What 3 CMDS status indications are displayed in the HMD HAD?
Current manual program, safe or PIN
When arming the CDS system utilizing the stores jettison panel, who can perform the jettison function?
Plt or CPG
Where are the manual dispense controls located for the CMWS?
Cyclic stick
What capabilities are lost in an “ASE BACKUP” condition?
No ASE threat displays or audio. No inventory/fault status.
What conditions will cause the jettison feature to be inhibited?
