SUW Flashcards
LRD wavelength
1064 nm
Boresight procedure verifies ___ but does not check ___, so ___ should not be used for target designation
MTS to laser alignment; laser to DTV alignment
Which processing mode used most for MTS?
LAP
NUC
Non-Uniformity Correction
corrects for manufacturing variability in pixels
NUC 2
takes longer but provides more accurate normalization of pixel response
higher PRF code for missiles do what?
provide more samples per second of target position –> more responsive control system; reduces CEP relative to lower freq PRF codes
values for higher PRF codes
1111-1488
radar to AOP tracks
320 to AOP - 256 are dedicated radar tracks, 64 IFF
FOV of each ESM antenna

how does ESM locate?
long baseline interferometry
if ESM is deconfigured, what else is also deconfigured?
RWR (same receiver)
How many EOI’s can you have?
4
what does an EOI look like?
diamond with lines around it
use scan mod to
break up ambiguities in overlapping parameters
what cannot happen during scan mod?
new emitters or updates to existing emitters –> HTW
baseline scan strategy is defined when?
pre-flight planning/burning cards
what does Locate ESM or making something a COI do?
brings emitter to top of priority list
EOI function only changes
