Q

Can the CPG switch the sensor in use if there is a point track established?

A

Yes, when tracking in one sensor, the tracker gates will change from brackets to + symbols

22
Q

The laser tracker (lt) switch is functional when _____ is the selected sight?

A

TADS

23
Q

Once the properly coded laser energy has been acquired by the laser tracker, what will the TADS do?

A

Laser trackin*hardware takes over turret control once a spot is acquired, when in either the manual or auto mode. It will auto-track the TADS around the laser energy spot

24
Q

If the crew needs to change the LT code from B to D, which page should be selected to complete the task?

A

WPN- CODE - SET with LST selected

25
Q

How does the CPG regain control of the TADS LOS once the LT has locked onto a laser spot?

A

Place the LT switch into the O (off) position

26
Q

What pages, when accessed, enable the crew to change the acquisition source? (7)

A

FCR/UAV, WPN, TSD, ENG, FLT, ASE, AAG pages

27
Q

Which cueing format is the most accurate?

A

The cued LOS reticle is the most accurate

28
Q

What is the default acquisition source?

A

FIXED

29
Q

Can both crew members have the same ACQ source?

A

Yes

30
Q

The CPG has sight - selected the FCR. If the CPG attempts to curser acquisition an RFI icon from the TSD what will occur?

A

A terrain point will be dropped at that location on the map

31
Q

From which pages can the crew cursor acquisition an icon?

A

The TSD CAQ
The ASE CAQ

32
Q

The ASE page will allow cursor selection of which icons?

A

RFI and ASE icons

33
Q

When is a manual Servo Drift Null procedure required?

A

If the aim point does not remain within the narrow FOV of the DTV for 30 sec or if a lesser amount of drift is desired

34
Q

Initial sight selection of TADS will cause the TADS to move from what position?

A

The fixed forward position

35
Q

What switch is used to delete a scene or point track?

A

The IAT/OFS/DEL switch

36
Q

After pressing the AZ/EL button, how long does it take before the AZ and EL switches are active?

A

5 sec

37
Q

How often is it recommended that an internal boresight be conducted?
Can it be completed in flight?

A

Twice every 2.5 hours
It can be completed in flight as long as the TADS is ready and FLIR is cooled

38
Q

What must the CPG do upon completing of the DTV. Oresight in order to begin the FLIR boresight procedure?

A

Release the laser trigger

39
Q

What is the copilot/gunner boresighting when performing an internal boresighting?

A

The DTV narrow and zoom to the laser and the FLIR narrow and zoom parallel to he DTV

40
Q

Is the ground override switch required to be placed in the override position for the laser to fire during internal boresight procedure?

A

No

41
Q

Which sensor is boresight end first during internal boresight?

A

The DTV

42
Q

Name the 6 available range sources in the CPG station?

A

Default, radar, manual, automatic, laser, NAV

43
Q

How does the the crew member select auto ranging?

A

Crew can select auto range:
1. WPN page - MAN RNG select - KU wakes up
2. Keyboard unit, ‘A’ and enter

44
Q

Where is the current range and range source displayed?

A

In 5e range and range source field of the HAD on the left of the FOR and above the sight status field

A

32 km

46
Q

What is the minimum and maximum range for laser operations?

A

500 - 32,000

The stored target position will appear in the weapon inhibit field of the HAD for 4 seconds.

50
Q

What range is used in order to successfully complete an HMD store?

A

Auto range

51
Q

If storing a control measure using TADS, what page must the CPG have displayed in order to insure that a control measure gets stored instead of a target?

A

The CPG must be on the TSD- POINT page with STO selected, then TYPE to CM in order to store a control measure, otherwise a target will be stored
