19
Q

Which processor provides constraints processing for weapon performance and safety inhibits

A

MP

20
Q

Which component in the AWS performs the functions of turret cueing control and serves as a MUX remote terminal under mission processor control

A

Gun Subsystem Controller (GSC)

21
Q

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

A

CGUN/ Weapon control

22
Q

Which Crewstation can conduct a gun dynamic harmonization

A

CPG

23
Q

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?

A

No

24
Q

The Fixed mode places the gun ____ degrees in azimuth and _____ degrees in elevation

A

0 degrees in azimuth and 0.87 degrees in elevation

25
Q

If the rounds count in the gun icon is incorrect how do you input the proper rounds count

A

WPN UTIL — Load PG (L5)’

26
Q

Can you confirm your selected sight on the weapon (WPN) PG

A

Yes

27
Q

What will be displayed in the HAD weapon inhibit field during WEAPON TRAINING MODE (WTM)

A

TRAINING

28
Q

When the weapons training mode(WTM) selected, the armament sub system will adopt the simulated weapon inventory of_____ rounds for the 30mm

A

888

29
Q

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

A

500-1500 meters

30
Q

The laser pointer should only be used for target _____ and pointing

A

Illuminating

31
Q

To distinguish one laser pointer using high or low from another pointer _____ can be selected

A

PULSE 4Hz

32
Q

When the LASER POINTER BORESIGHT FAIL status window appears the crewmember should repeat the steps (True/ False)

A

True (steps 3-11)

33
Q

What are the four types of ballistics that affect helicopter fired weapons

A

Interior, exterior, aerial, and terminal

34
Q

What is the bending and will the mission processor compensate for this phenomenon

A

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%

35
Q

The gunner must compensate for lead angle compensation when using which of the available sights and why?

A

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 detect laser >4 sec

36
Q

The gun is inhibited for__ after a missile or rocket launch

A

2 Seconds

37
Q

What is the weapon inhibit status field message that indicates range or other engagement parameters exceed the ballistics processing capability of the system

A

BAL (Ballistics) Limit

38
Q

How can performance inhibits be overridden

A

2nd Detent Weapon trigger
