29
Q

What is the default acquisition source?

A

FIXED

30
Q

Can both crew members have the same ACQ Source?

A

Yes

31
Q

The CPG has sight-selected the FCR. If the CPG attempts to cursor acquire (CAQ) an RFI Icon from the TSD, what will occur?

A

A Terrain point will be dropped at that location on the map.

32
Q

From which pages can the crew Cursor Acquire an icon?

A

The TSD (CAQ option)
The ASE (CAQ option)

33
Q

The ASE page will allow cursor selection of which icons?

A

RFI and ASE icons.

34
Q

Name the six available range sources in the CPG station?

A

Default, Radar, Manual, Automatic, Laser, and TGT/NAV.
“DRMALT”

35
Q

How does a crew member select auto ranging?

A

Crew can select auto range 2 ways:
a. WPN page - MANRNG select - KU wakes up, type in “A” and select ENTER.
b. Keyboard Unit, Select “A” and enter.

36
Q

Where is the current Range and Range Source displayed?

A

In the Range and Range Source Field of the High Action
Display (HAD), left of the Field of Regard (FOR) and above the Sight Status Field.

37
Q

What is the maximum range that can be displayed when using the
TGT/NAV range?

A

32 Kilometers
(N32.0)

38
Q

What is the minimum and maximum range for Laser operations?

A

500 - 32000 Meters

39
Q

If the CPG is designating a target, what indications within the range/range source field of the HAD would indicate that laser energy spilling over/under the target?

A

A flashing Asterisk in front of the displayed laser range, coupled with intermittent changes in range to the target that could not be the result of motion.

40
Q

If the CPG is designating a target, what will precede the laser range when the laser is receiving valid reflected energy?

A

A solid asterisk and a steady range. (*4552)

41
Q

When using the laser to range or designate, what field of view should be used and why?

A

Narrow and Zoom because they are the only Fields Of View that are boresighted.

42
Q

The laser trigger is located on which TEDAC grip?

A

Right Hand Grip

43
Q

Laser trigger second detent release will cause the range to be dynamic for how long?

A

10 seconds

44
Q

Can the CPG move the TADS using the Sight Manual Tracker if the Scene Track is enabled?

A

Yes, the Scene Track gates will flash, then drop, and await the CPG to stop moving the TADS. Then it will establish a new Scene Track.

45
Q

Can the CPG switch from FLIR to DTV during manual tracking?

A

Yes. There should be no affect when changing the sensor in use during manual tracking. Scene track will re-establish itself once you are in the new sensor.

46
Q

If the CPG is using LMC to track a target while the aircraft is moving, what should the CPG provide in order to maintain a valid LMC track?

A

A valid range to the target.

47
Q

Which switches, when enabled/actioned, will disable Scene Track?

A

Scene Track is disabled when the CPG enables/actions the following:
- SLAVE Button
- IAT - Initiates a Point Track.
- LMC Button
- AZ/EL - Initiates/Conducts a Manual Drift null.
- LT Switch - Auto or Manual - Initiates LT operations.

48
Q

Can the CPG switch the sensor in use if there is a Point-Track established?

A

Yes. When tracking in one sensor and observing in the alternate sensor, the tracker gates will change from brackets to “+” symbols.

49
Q

When a target is deleted or dropped, a message is generated for the crew. What is the message and where will it be displayed?

A

“TRK 1 DEL” in the “Weapons Inhibit” field of the High Action Display (HAD).

50
Q

The Laser Tracker (LT) switch is functional when ______ is the selected LOS.

A

TADS

51
Q

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

A

Laser tracking 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.

52
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.

53
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.

54
Q

When using the TADS, which switch on the LHG of the TEDAC must be utilized for storing a point?

A

STORE/UPDATE SWITCH

55
Q

Where will targets be stored?

A

In the next available space within the appropriate coordinate (COORD) file.

56
Q

If storing a target using the TADS, what verification does the CPG receive that the target has been stored?

A

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

57
Q

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

A

Autorange

58
Q

If storing a Control Measure using the 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.
(TSD-POINT-STO-TYPE: CM)
