Quiz 4

Question 1

There are 2 primary categories of Laser Designation Operations:

Answer 1

• Target Acquisition

- Weapon Guidance

Question 2

5 Basic considerations for using LSTs or LGWs:

Answer 2

1. Line of Sight (LOS)
2. PRF Codes
3. Direction of Attack
4. Laser Target Designator
5. Delivery System

Question 3

Podium Effect

Answer 3

Occurs when the reflected laser energy is blocked from the seeker

Question 4

Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Codes

Answer 4

Range 1111 to 1788

Question 5

The ______ the PRF code, the _______ the repetitions, therefore:

Answer 5

• Lower
• Faster
• The faster the power consumption for GLD batteries

Question 6

Entrapment

Answer 6

The absorption of laser-radiated energy from any direction.

Energy may be absorbed rather than reflected, preventing seeker acquisition.

Question 7

3 Laser Designation Types:

Answer 7

1. Continuous
2. Delayed
3. Redundant

Question 8

LTD Beam Divergence

Answer 8

Increase in diameter of a laser beam with distance from exit aperture.

• Measured in milliradians (MRAD)

Question 9

Spot Size (in inches) =

Answer 9

(.039 x MRAD) Range

Question 10

SOFLAM Beam Divergence

Answer 10

For every 1000m, SPOT diameter increases 12 inches

Question 11

Spillover Effect

Answer 11

Occurs when the laser spot is larger than the intended target, or when there is unsteady tracking of the target from the designator.

Question 12

Targets should be greater than, or equal to, _____ laser spot size to avoid spillover.

Answer 12

2x

Question 13

“STARE” (with laser code & reference point)

Answer 13

Cue the laser spot search / tracker function on the specified laser code in relation to the specific reference point.

Question 14

Backscatter

Answer 14

Refers to a portion of the laser energy that is scattered back in the direction of the seeker by an obscurant.

Question 15

2 Classifications of Lasers:

Answer 15

1. Class 1 - Class 3R (considered eye safe)

2. Class 3B - Class 4 (hazardous to eyes and skin)

Question 16

NOHD

Answer 16

The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance

• Basically the minimum safe distances from the laser

Question 17

SOFLAM NOHD

Answer 17

20.5 (Unaided)

40-50 km (Aided)

Question 18

SOFLAM

Answer 18

Special Operations Forces Laser Acquisition Marker

Question 19

SOFLAM Laser Class?

Answer 19

Class 4

Question 20

SOFLAM Range Mode & Designation Mode:

Answer 20

Range Mode: 200 to 19,995m
Designation Mode: 3km (moving target)
5km (stationary target)

Question 21

VSLIM

Answer 21

• Variable Sniper Laser Illumination Module
• Seen through NVGs
• Class 4

Question 22

V21 provides:

Answer 22

Range & Bearing

Question 23

IZLID Class

Answer 23

Class 4

Seen through NVGs

Question 24

LTL or PTL is found where in 9-Line?

Answer 24

Remarks

Question 25

What is the mandatory call that a pilot must call for a type I & type II control?

Answer 25

“IN”

Question 26

If you’re using RW, line 3 will be referred to in:

Answer 26

meters to the nearest 100th

Question 27

Offset Question Answer

Answer 27

All of the Above

Question 28

“BUZZER ON”

Answer 28

Commence electronic communications jamming

Question 29

“GUARDED”

Answer 29

High priority enemy frequencies that are being used for collection by intelligence assets. Intelligence gain/loss determinations need to be done on these freqs prior to jamming.

Question 30

STAKE

Answer 30

A full motion video system mark has been set and is used as a frame of reference

Question 31

DECLUTTER

Answer 31

JTAC requests the pilot to remove targeting symbology to allow better view of the target area.
