52 degrees
If rockets are selected, and the selected rocket type is on the inboard launcher, the MP limits the guns azimuth to _____
60 degrees
What is the maximum effective range of the M230E1 automatic gun
1500-1700 m
What component drives a gun bolt assembly to the open-bolt position after firing using dynamic breaking
Drive motor
What is the maximum ballistic solution of the M230E1 automatic gun
4200 m
What is the cyclic rate of fire for the M230E1 automatic gun
625 (+/- 25) RPM
What is the duty cycle of the M230E1 automatic gun
6- 50 Rds per burst with five seconds between bursts, followed by 10 minutes of cooling
Which processor provides constraints processing for weapon performance and safety inhibits
MP
Which component in the AWS performs the functions of turret cueing control and serves as a MUX remote terminal under mission processor control
Gun Subsystem Controller (GSC)
You are in the pilot crew station and the CPG actions gun; what indication will you see in your HAD and in what status field
CGUN/ Weapon control
Which Crewstation can conduct a gun dynamic harmonization
CPG
You are in the CPG crew station and you action the gun, will the checkerboard pattern be applied to the pilot WPN Pg ARM/SAFE STATUS WINDOW?
No
The Fixed mode places the gun ____ degrees in azimuth and _____ degrees in elevation
0 degrees in azimuth and 0.87 degrees in elevation
If the rounds count in the gun icon is incorrect how do you input the proper rounds count
WPN UTIL — Load PG (L5)’
Can you confirm your selected sight on the weapon (WPN) PG
Yes
What will be displayed in the HAD weapon inhibit field during WEAPON TRAINING MODE (WTM)
TRAINING
When the weapons training mode(WTM) selected, the armament sub system will adopt the simulated weapon inventory of_____ rounds for the 30mm
888
Gun dynamic harmonization mode is available to the CPG to improve the accuracy of the 30 MM, the CPG places TADS (NFOV) on a target between _____ to ____ meters
500-1500 meters
The laser pointer should only be used for target _____ and pointing
Illuminating
To distinguish one laser pointer using high or low from another pointer _____ can be selected
PULSE 4Hz
When the LASER POINTER BORESIGHT FAIL status window appears the crewmember should repeat the steps (True/ False)
True (steps 3-11)
What are the four types of ballistics that affect helicopter fired weapons
Interior, exterior, aerial, and terminal
What is the bending and will the mission processor compensate for this phenomenon
The airframe and gun experience lecture in response to sustain recoil. Yes MP compensates. None 1st Rd, 2nd Rd 70%, 3rd and subsequent Rd =100%
The gunner must compensate for lead angle compensation when using which of the available sights and why?
HMD, because the MP does not provide TSE algorithm when HMD is the sight selected. *TADS as sight, TSE is used for ballistic solution, second detent laser >4 sec
The gun is inhibited for__ after a missile or rocket launch
2 Seconds
What is the weapon inhibit status field message that indicates range or other engagement parameters exceed the ballistics processing capability of the system
BAL (Ballistics) Limit
How can performance inhibits be overridden
2nd Detent Weapon trigger
