A
  • First generation: tail aspect only, no IRCCM
  • Second generation: all aspect, no IRCCM
  • Third generation: all aspect, IRCCM

Q

how IR SAM systems receive target acquisition and cueing information

A
  • Acquisition
    • Visual
    • Via IADs
    • Offboard TAR
    • Passive
  • Without offboard cueing, visual/acoustic is primary self-acquisition

Q

Define ADA tactical range.

A
  • The slant range at which a non-maneuvering fighter can expect to receive fire from a particular gun with a high probability of hit.
17
Q

List the five categories and caliber of ADA.

A
  • Small arms/automatic weapons (less than 12.7 mm)
  • Heavy machine gun (12.7 mm to 14.5 mm)
  • Light (20 mm to 25 mm)
  • Medium (30 mm to 40 mm)
  • Heavy (57 mm and above)
18
Q

Describe the improvements to fire control, ammunition, and fuzing to increase the accuracy of ADA systems.

A
  • Increased detection ranges against low RCS and small targets is critical to reaction time and target prioritization.
