Q

What are the six phases of operation for the Javelin?

A
  • CLU Prep, Cooldown and Standby
  • Activate AUR
  • Track target
  • Launch
  • Flight Control
  • Warhead Detonation
18
Q

What are the CLU Modes

A

Day

Night

Test

Off

19
Q

What does the Gunner do to ensure communication between CLU and Missile

A

The gunner squeezes and holds the CLU Fire Trigger switch to initiate the launch of the missile.

The Fire Trigger must be held for a minimum of 400 ms. The CLU Seeker Trigger is also being held.

Squeezing the CLU Fire Trigger removes a squib driver interlock and initiates the action of the missile RESTRAINT PIN SQUIB andthe CLU FIRE COMMAND.

20
Q

What pressures does the Javelin BCU operate and vent at?

What is the proof pressure?

A

Operate at 7500 psi

Vent at 13,900 psi

Proof pressure 15,000 psi

21
Q

(Javelin) Where is the GEU and what are its major components

A

Located behind the seeker and in front of the main warhead (Midbody) section

Major components :

Guidance electronic boards

Roll rate gyroscope

Power distribution assembly

Precursor warhead

22
Q

How long does the BCU function for?

A

Battery life of four minutes

23
Q

24
Q

(Javelin)

What are the four Missile components?

A

Guidance Section

Main Warhead Section (Mid-body section)

Propulsion section

Control Section

25
Q

(Jav)

“Missile Fin Lock” is one signal required prior to firing warheads, what are the other two?

A

Missile Safe Separation

Missile ‘good guidance’ from GEU

26
Q

9.5 seconds

27
Q

What constitutes the All Up Round (AUR) of the Javelin?

A

28
Q

What are the four launch modes of the Hellfire?

A

30
Q

Label Diagram: Hellfire

31
Q

What are the compositions in the Main Charge for the Hellfire?

A

2.3kg of PBXN-109

218g Zirconium Sponge Incendiary Pellets

32
Q

What is the control section arm and firing sequence

A

The rocket motor SAD provides an out of line detonator/squib whose electrical contacts are grounded and shunted in the safe position.

The CIA CCA provides the SAD with 28Vdc power which rotates the rocket motor squibs to be “inline”. If the SAD is returned to zero volts the SAD will rotate back to its original (safe) position.

The SAD should not be energized for more than 1 minute or the SAD may be damaged. Once the voltage is removed from a damaged SAD it will return to a safe position under the action of the return mechanism.

A fire pulse providing more than 3.8 amps to each squib will fire the dual rocket motor squibs and ignite the rocket motor.

33
Q

The Control Interface Group (CIG) provides what?

A
  • 28 vdc missile power
  • 600 psi nitrogen/freon for flight control actuators
  • interfaces for squib activations
  • Control signals to fin actuators
34
Q

What happens when the Hellfire thermal battery cools to 204˚?

A

Battery power is terminated when solidification of the electrolyte occurs

35
Q

How does the AGM 114 ESAF work

A

Using digital circuitry to control the exploding foil initiator and slapper type detonator which is physically in line with the warhead charge

36
Q

How long does the propulsion section motor burn for on the AGM-114?

37
Q

What does the Gyro Optics Assembly (GOA) do?

A

Detects, filters, focuses and amplifies laser energy from the target.

38
Q

What are the parts of the Gyro Optics Assembly (GOA) for the AGM-114?

A

Magnet

Counterbalance

Parabolic mirror.

39
Q

What is the Electronic Safe, Arm and Fire device (ESAF) arming sequence?

A
