Chapter 3 Self Test

Question 0

(015) 2. When the missile on alert, what reports does the MGS send to the LCC?

Answer 0

Status and fault reporting

Question 1

(015) 1. What components does the MGS work with to initiate, guide, and conclude missile flight and payload deployment?

Answer 1

The operational ground program (OGP), operational flight program (OFP), flight controls, reentry system (RS), and reentry vehicle (RV)

Question 2

(015) 2. What component in the MGS acts as a single electrical ground point for the missile?

Answer 2

The power distribution unit (PDU)

Question 3

(015) 4. Which battery in the MGS provides the majority of the power after launch?

Answer 3

Flight batter or battery assembly

Question 4

(015) 5. What MGS component sends electrical signals and power to the GSP?

Answer 4

Missile guidance set control (MGSC)

Question 5

(015) 6. What MGS component provides a reference for missile guidance and navigation?

Answer 5

Gyro stabilized platform (GSP)

Question 6

(016) 1. What action must a technician perform to energize the J4, J5, and J6 three-prong receptacles?

Answer 6

The control relay is energized by pressing the POWER ON and OFF switches on the power control panel.

Question 7

(016) 2. What indications will occur if the MGSTS senses an excessive power condition?

Answer 7

The lamps provide a visual indicator while the aural alarm provides an audible alarm.

Question 8

(016) 3. What are the two purposes of the programmable DC power supply?

Answer 8

To simulate the resistive loads caused by the MGS during self-test of the MGSTS programmable load modules which are incorporated within the power supply unit (PSU). Second, the power supply provides the required DC voltages for the MGS operation during certification.

Question 9

(016) 4. In which partition is the majority of the MGSTS programs stored in the HDD?

Answer 9

The secure data media

Question 10

(016) 5. Which of CTA modules provides the voltage to control activation of the MGS and SRAM test load relays?

Answer 10

Direct memory access/ umbilical/ simulator self-test module

Question 11

(016) 6. Which MGSTS test-point panel component does the operator use to test the overcurrent limits of the power module?

Answer 11

Switches

Question 12

(017) 1. When will the MGSTS self-test program allow progress to the next self-test module?

Answer 12

If the module passes, the system automatically progresses to the next self-test module.

Question 13

(017) 2. How is the output of the PSU verified during the MGSTS MGS power supply test?

Answer 13

By manually measuring its output voltage and current at the test-point.

Question 14

(017) 3. What checks are performed during the MGSTS MGS power safing test?

Answer 14

PSU overvoltage and overcurrent limit checks

Question 15

(017) 4. What indication is displayed if the absolute value exceeds the overvoltage tolerance?

Answer 15

A failure message is displayed in the MGSTS session log window and the software automatically aborts testing.

Question 16

(017) 5. During initial power-on checks, how is the power removed in an out-of-tolerance condition?

Answer 16

The output of the PSU is monitored internally and is shut down in the event of an out-of-tolerance condition. It can also be shut down by the EMERGENCY OFF switch on the power control panel.

Question 17

(017) 6. During the ROM verification test, how is the data contained in the MCG ROM checked?

Answer 17

The ROM verification test reads the MGC ROM and compares what was read to the MGC master ROM image on the SDM.

Question 18

(017) 7. The MGS battery test places the SRAM better in what mode?

Answer 18

Shipping and storage mode

Question 19

(017) 8. What is the last test accomplished during the certification procedures before a MGS is ready for installation in the field?

Answer 19

Post certification

Question 20

(017) 9. How will MGSTS respond if the technician selects the MGS certification option prior to running a self-test?

Answer 20

The software automatically prompts the operator (technician) to perform the self-test option first, and then continues with the MGS certification procedures.

Question 21

(017) 10. If the post-certification self-test passed and a new MGS is to be certified,will another self-test be required if power was not removed from the MGSTS?

Answer 21

No. The post certification self-test is considered to be the precertification self-test by the software.

Question 22

(018) 1. The GMATS was designed for what purpose?

Answer 22

To provide testing and troubleshooting of components used as operational support equipment (OSE) for the Minuteman weapon system.

Question 23

(018) 2. What component allows for the transfer of operating power and stimuli between the UUT and the test station?

Answer 23

Interface test adapter (ITA)

Question 24

(018) 3. What is the function of the system controller?

Answer 24

The system controller contains the preprogrammed instructions for running the tests to determine if a UUT is functional or defective.

Question 25

(018) 4. Where in the test station is the printer located?

Answer 25

On the computer cart with the keyboard and monitor

Question 26

(018) 5. When can the bar-code reader be used to read information from the UUT?

Answer 26

The bar code reader is used to read UUT information when provided.

Question 27

(018) 6. How long will the UPS provide power to the system controller during the power outage?

Answer 27

Five minutes
