1
Q

1/2 Time of Flight Rule:
1. Definition of TOF?
2. Measurements for TOF and 1/2 TOF
3. Why do we use 1/2 TOF?

A
  1. TOF- is the distance that the projectile travels over a given period. 1 TOF is that distance in the projectile’s first second of flight. 1/2 TOF first half second.
  2. TOF: 679m; 1/2 TOF: 373
  3. Range at which the air-to-air target is engaged with the .50 caliber should be approximately 373 meters (1,223 feet) or one-half TOF for improved accuracy. Ultimately, gunners should engage air threats at the maximum range of approximately 679 meters (2,227 feet) or one TOF.

  2. Attack Warning: directive call given to the flight when attack is imminent or the flight is being engaged.
47
Q

RCS

A

Radar Cross Section:

The parameter that describes the strength of radar signals reflected from a target is called the radar cross section (RCS). It is a function of the size and shape of the target, the electromagnetic properties of the materials from which it is made, the radar signal frequency, and the orientation or aspect of the target with respect to the radar.

48
Q

RRC

A

Radar Resolution Cell:
Radar distinguishes target location by breaking the scanned airspace into box-like cells, called resolution cells. A resolution cell is determined by the horizontal and vertical beamwidth and the pulse width of a given radar. Two or more targets within a single resolution cell may be returned as a single target, indistinguishable by the radar operator.

49
Q

What is the purpose of TERF?

A

Is the employment of an aircraft in a manner that utilizes terrain, vegetation, and man-made objects to enhance survival by degrading the enemy’s ability to visually, optically, and electronically detect or locate the aircraft.

50
Q

When should astern attacks be broken off vs FW attacks?

A

Astern: 500’
FW: 1000’
