Attack On Aircraft

Question 1

Types of aircraft targets

Answer 1

Fast moving

Slow moving

Helicopters

Question 2

Aicraft damage criteria for defence

Answer 2

Kk- kill, target suffers immediate and catstphoic disicergration

K-kill, destroyed less than 10 seconds

A-kill, destroyed less than 5 mins

B-kill, defeated less than 5 hours

C-kill, targets mission not achieved (objective kill)

E-kill, target may complete mission but needs repairs before it can fly again

Question 3

Second criteria that is also encountered is, Ft, Ct, Et. What they stand for

Answer 3

Ft, flight kill

Ct, continuence kill

Et, effectiveness kill

Question 4

-Airframe
-People, the aircrew
-Fuel cells/tanks and lines
-Engines
Power transmission systems
Flight controls
Avionics
Bomb load/payload

Question 5

Types of warheads to attack aircraft?

Answer 5

Blast external and internal

Fragmentation (inefficient 80%waste)

Fragmentation plus blast

Special kinetic energy, discrete and continuous rod

Shaped charges

Sub-projectiles

Cluster

Question 6

Fragmenting warheads are ___ inefficient (wasted)
With ___ away from TGT

Answer 6

80%

50%

Question 7

4 Effects of altitude

Answer 7

Density

Attenuation

Miss distance

Altitude increases/warhead increase

Question 8

Effect of miss distance

Answer 8

As miss distance increases, so must the HE contained in the war head.

It is know as the inverse cube law

Question 9

Reduction of vunrable areas

Answer 9

Armouring

Burying sensitive components

Concentrating sensitive components

Duplocating components

Separating components

Self-sealing fuel tanks

Question 10

Three important factors in the design for fragmenting warheads Heads.

Answer 10

Fragment mass

Fragment pattern

Fragment velocity
