What are the 6 sub-assemblies of the RWS?
- 2 x LH and 2 x RH polarized spiral antennas
- Blade monopole antenna
- Fw and Aft recievers
- Radar data processor
- User Data Module
- Audio amplifier
What generates signals for display on EW top page, EW set-up page, and DFD?
Mission Computers (also threat data to the OTO HMSD)
The ____ contains Mission Data Set (MDS) files and classified portions of RWS Operational Flight Programs (OFPs).
UDM
What happens when environment saturation with emissions?
Flashing “+” and “threat detection degraded” aural alert
Aural signal when APR-39 fails and when AAR-47 and APR-39 signal is lost?
APR-39 Failure
Four Seven Signal Lost
both over ICS
If the AAR-47 is working but APR-39 is not powered, will the AN/ALE-47 still dispense countermeasures in response to missile launch and will symbols or audio be present if so?
Yes will dispense however no symbols or audio
What volume knob on CSC controls audio amplifier?
5
What CBs do you pull if RWR fail caution alert displayed?
RWR, LDS, and MWS CBs
What bands do the high sensitivity crystal video and Yttrium Iron Ganet (YIG) recieve?
Crystal = E-G YIG = H-J
What waveband do the small (nipple) dome omni-directional antenna?
K (MMW)
What three major radars can be detected by E-J antennas?
Pulsed Doppler, Continous Wave, and Low Probability of Intercept
Can C/D antenna detect bearing?
No
When symbol does the H-J, C/D, or E-G radar detected but no match MDS?
H-J = Unknown (U)
C/D and E-G = not displayed
3 types of lasers classified by the AN/AAR-47?
- Beamriders (flash box *)
- Designators (* with a box)
- Range Finders *
After power up, how long until APR-39 runs IBIT?
2 mins
Does the advisory “CMDS MAN PROG DATA LOST” affect ALE-47 performance?
No. Its a known deficiency and causes SYS STAT to display ALE-47 degraded.

R or G
How many clutter levels are they and what is the highest level?
3
3
What does a B on the RSI stand for?
Blanked: Overstimulation from too much photonic energy.
Is laser functionality still available during extended blanking?
Yes

C/D band
What threat is found in the various leathality rings? (1-5) 1 2 3 4 5
1 - searching 2 - acquisition 3 - tgt tracking 4 - fire control/missile guidance and AAR threats (i.e. missile or laser indications) 5 - C/D radars
When a threat is no longer detected, how long will the signal ghost for?
10 secs
For threat priorities what does MODE 1 and 2 mean?
Mode 1 = high alt
Mode 2 = low alt
How many symbols (RF threats and total symbols) maybe displayed at one time?
8 RF threats
12 total symbols
When does threat prioritization matter?
When more than 8 threat symbols are detected by RSDS and AAR-47
