Basic use and operation of mission equipment.

Question 1

Data Transfer System:

Answer 1

The DTS is integrated within the Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) providing the Integrated Avionics Subsystem (IAS) with the functionality to load mission data, log mission event records, read and write data to PC cards, load threat data into the
Digital Map Computer (DMC), and perform DAFIF type searches. 9.2MYII utilizes DTU-7100.

Question 2

EDMG

Answer 2

Embedded Digital Map Generator

Question 3

EDMG consists of the ____ _____ _____ (___), and
provides the following functions:

Answer 3

Mass Memory Server (MMS)

(1) Display of CHART, DTED, CIB and FRAME.
(2) Addition, deletion, and display of threats.
(3) Elevation (DTED) data for map sensor stores.

Question 4

The EDMG uses the ____ ____ ____ on the ___ and aircraft information from CAAS to generate the video image via two independent video channels (____ and ____).

Answer 4

The EDMG uses the digital map data on the MMS and aircraft information from CAAS to generate the video image via two independent video channels (VPM1 and VPM2).

Question 5

Improved Data Modem:

Answer 5

The IDM is a multi-service, interference-resistant modem that allows both air and ground crews to exchange target/battle information.

CAAS gives the pilot the ability to display received messages, manage the list of received messages, easily acknowledge the receipt of a message, efficiently construct messages to be transmitted, inspect status and manage transmitted messages, and quickly signal an emergency.

CAAS aids the construction of Joint Variable Message Format (JVMF) messages by presenting a terse form (a message template) listing the fields that the operator can fill. Accessed via Tactical Data Link (TDL) login.

Question 6

Blue Force Tracking System:

Answer 6

Blue Force Tracking System: The BFT provides digital Satellite Communications (SATCOM) communication for battlefield situational awareness using communications systems and the Global Positioning System. The system consists of an L-band transceiver, amplifier, EMI filter
and box, and a satellite antenna. An improved data modem interfaces with the system to provide digital data communication within CAAS.

Question 7

Stormscope System:

Answer 7

Stormscope System: The Stormscope is a remote lightning sensor that detects and processes
lightning strikes for display on the MFDs.

Question 8

Mission Management:

Answer 8

Mission Management: Mission management provides the capability to manage flight planning and performance requirements through the Multi-Function Displays (MFD) and the Control Display Units (CDU).

Question 9

Mission management consists of the following:

Answer 9

a) Air Control Points (ACPs):
b) Flight Plan:
c) Helicopter Performance:
d) Flight Director:
e) Data Transfer:

Question 10

Air Control Points (ACPs):

Answer 10

a) Air Control Points (ACPs): can be stored in CAAS or loaded from the DTS

Question 11

Helicopter Performance:

Answer 11

Helicopter Performance: Calculations of weight and balance, maximum endurance, maximum range airspeeds, power available, power required, and fuel flow are performed by mission management. If conditions are out of tolerance for current or
future legs, alerts are generated.

Question 12

Flight Director:

Answer 12

Flight Director: The flight director can be coupled to mission management so thatVertical Situation Display (VSD) cues can be utilized to follow the flight plan. The flight director can obtain speed, altitude, destination, and mode parameters from the flight plan for use in calculations.

Question 13

Data Transfer:

Answer 13

Data Transfer: Mission management is responsible for CAAS interface to the Data Transfer System (DTS).

Question 14

Extended Range Fuel System II:

Answer 14

The Extended Range Fuel System II (ERFS II) and the Reduced Size Extended Range Fuel System (RSERFS) are internal tank fuel systems that provides the CH-47F with the ability to fly for an extended period of time without having to land for refueling.

Question 15

The ERFS II and RSERFS consists of five major functional components:

Answer 15

● Three removable tank assemblies
● The restraint system
● The fuel transfer hose assembly (to interface with the helicopters main tanks)
● The fuel control panel assembly
● FARE kit assembly

Question 16

The ERFS II/RSERFS can be refueled using

Answer 16

the gravity fill or pressure fill techniques

Question 17

Fuel transfer pump system can operate

Answer 17

with APU, engine, or external power applied.

Question 18

The FARE kit is used to

Answer 18

transfer fuel from the ERFS II/RSERFS tanks to other aircraft or combat weapons systems, or to defuel the ERFS II/RSERFS tanks.

Question 19

The FARE Kit contains

Answer 19

It contains a pump module with a self priming
pump rated at 120 gpm (with attaching hose and remote switch), six collapsible unisex hoses, a unisex “y” coupling, two in-line multiple cartridge filters (capable of filtering out 5 micron absolute particles), a flowmeter, and various fuel delivery nozzles.

Question 20

Microclimate Cooling System:

Answer 20

The MCS helps aircrew members maintain a lower body
temperature while conducting missions in Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) IV gear
or hot-weather environments.

Question 21

Infrared Suppression System:

Answer 21

The CH-47F IRSS is a completely passive system, and when installed will reduce the aircraft’s overall Infrared (IR) signature. The IRSS has three components; the engine exhaust assembly, the Line Of Sight Blockers (LOSBs) and insulation blankets. The components of this system are dependent upon each other to collectively reduce the aircraft’s thermal signature.
