Defensive Systems (I Hope We Die) Flashcards
Jettison Mode Overrides (when)
If WOW is disengaged (in flight) jettison mode will override all other modes
RWR Components
4 antenna assemblies
2 antenna SUB assemblies
1 blade antenna
1 receiver processor
What RF does the antenna assembly receive?
E through J
and K
RWR blade antenna band signals
C and D
RWR antenna SUB assemblies job
convert millimeter wave band RF signals to microwave bands (K)
it also acts as a pass through for E/J bands (since they’re already microwave)
RWR how many antenna assemblies are there?
what coverage do they provide
which polarization

CMDS Name
AN-ALE 47
CMWS (Common Missile Warning System) Name
AN/AAR-57
IBU (Interference Blanking Unit) Purpose
Prevents false warnings from onboard equipment being used.
So the system doesn’t get tripped from your own transmissions.
