FCR Flashcards
Which radar factor does the narrower radar beam width (scan width) improve?
Time on target
The AH64E uses what type of radar system?
Pulsed Wave Radar system
During the periods between transmissions of a pulsed radar system, what is the radar doing?
Listening for echo
What is the difference between a B-scope display and a C-scope display?
B-scope displays target information in Azimuth and Range
C-scope displays target information in Azimuth and Elevation
What are the 3 major components that make up the Longbow FCR?
(MMA) Mast mounted Assembly
(REU) Radar Electonic Unit
(RFI) Radar Frequency Interferometer Processor
How is the MMA cooled?
Filtered ambient air drawn in from the surrounding environment
How are other FCR components cooled?
ECS air
Which component is zeroized when the Master Zeroize switch is selected?
Non Volatile memory of the Servo Electonics LRM within the REU
Can the crew initiate another PBIT if the FCR has timed out under extremely cold conditions?
Yes. If 13 mins have passed, MP will report FCR as not operational. An additional FCR power up may then be started.
What 4 items should the crew ensure prior to initiating an FCR power up sequence?
MMA must be unpinned,
Verify the DMS-UTIL-BORESIGHT-BPS offset value is correct,
Heading tape is present (EGI alignment)
EFAB L/R ECS supply temp is < or = to 63 degrees F.
Should both crew members perform the FCR operational check?
If it is anticipated that both the pilot and CPG will operate the FCR during the mission, then this task should be completed in both crew stations.
How many scan sizes are available to the crew in any of the targeting modes?
- Wide
Medium
Narrow
Zoom
There are 3 priority schemes resident within the REU? A, B, and C. If B is selected, which targets are being emphasized?
Stationary ground targets only
How can the PLT move the FCR centerline? The CPG?
- Acquisition source option (PLT- Automatic slave).
(CPG- Must press Slave) - Manually using the RHG Sight Manual Tracker (CPG Only)
- Left/Right button from the FCR page: Only available to the CM whose selected the sight is FCR
- Executing the CUED search option in response to an RFI detect.
Which crew member can make FCR centerline adjustments?
The crew member that has the FCR as the selected sight
What does it indicate if the FCR page L/R arrows are barrieres?
The CPG has the FCR as their selected sight, and slave button is active (slaved)
How far does the FCR centerline move when the FCR page L or R arrow is selected??
FCR centerline will move left or right the number of degrees based on, and equal to, the currently selected scan size.
what is the maximum number of detected targets that can be displayed on the TSD page?
256 targets
What is the maximum number of FCR detected targets that can be displayed on the FCR page?
16
If a no fire zone (NF) and priority fire zone (PF) overlap, which takes priority for FCR target prioritization?
The NF zone.
How many targets is the FCR capable of detecting?
1023
Upon completion of an FCR scan, the targets are displayed in “full intensity”. What does this mean to the crew?
The target information is new or updated
at the completion of an FCR scan, moving targets on the FCR page will go stale after how many seconds? 
5 seconds
When is the NTS established?
At the end of the first scan of a scan burst
What four things will cause the NTS icon to change?
- Selection of the NTS at L1
- Cursor selection of a different FCR icon.
- Sending a RFHO
- Firing at the target with an RF missile
