Q

Fixed Gun may be utilized during degraded systems operations, such as when the M-TADS or FCR are not available or unsuitable. Helmet sights are inherently inaccurate at long range due to aircraft vibration and therefore have a low probability of hit against targets beyond 1,000 meters. When engaging point targets _______________________(without the use of the M-TADS or FCR) the crew should select Fixed Gun.

Port-Starboard Effect;

trajectory shift; projectile drift;

to the left, the effects of drift and shift compound each other, causing the round to move further right;

204
Q

_____________________ occurs when the laser’s reflection point on the DPI is ________________________________. The amount of reflected energy does not decrease; however, the aspect angle at which the laser can be seen the missile is reduced, or blocked during its flight. This may occur due to designating a point within an enclosed area; a wheel well, road wheel, open window, cave, or a wall with an extended overhang-such as a porch or building entryway.

A

Entrapment;

trapped or masked within the target;

(.45, pg. F-5)

205
Q

_______________________ occurs when the designator is illuminating a target and some portion of the target blocks the reflected energy or the angle between the laser designator and the missile seeker. This prevents the laser spot from being detected or tracked. It has been observed to occur during REMOTE engagements and buddy lase with UAVs, but could occur between AH’s and other platforms.
