Test 2 Flashcards
State the purpose of an IADs.
- Detect, identify, and engage airborne targets.
List the three major functions of an IADs.
- Air surveillance (ASV)
- Battle management
- Weapons control
List the three physical components of an IADs.
- Air surveillance (ASV) picture building equipment (radars, PDS, visops)
- C3
- Weapons (SAM, ADA, fighters, jammers)
What is the principle source of data into the IADs?
- ASV
List the capabilities associated with 4th generation aircraft.
- (1980-2000)
- Multimode pulse Doppler radar
- DRFM jammers
- Active AAM
- High off-boresight IR missiles
List the capabilities associated with 5th generation aircraft.
- (2000-current)
- AESA radar
- Integrated defensive avionics
- Long wave IRSTS
- Thrust vectoring capability
- Weapons with cooperative engagement capability
What is the Western method of radar control intercept?
- Continuum of control
SEE CHART
What is the FSU method of radar control intercept?
- Close control
Describe command guidance for radar SAM systems.
The ground radar provides the missile steering commands.
Define maximum recommended intercept range.
- The maximum range the system was designed to intercept a target.
Define maximum intercept range.
The maximum range a missile can intercept a target.
List the all aspect and IRCCM capabilities of first, second, third, fourth, and fifth generation IR SAM systems.
- First generation: tail aspect only, no IRCCM
- Second generation: all aspect, no IRCCM
- Third generation: all aspect, IRCCM
- Fourth generation: all aspect, IRCCM
- Fifth generation: all aspect, IRCCM
how IR SAM systems receive target acquisition and cueing information
- Acquisition
- Visual
- Via IADs
- Offboard TAR
- Passive
- Without offboard cueing, visual/acoustic is primary self-acquisition
Define lead in terms of IR SAMs flight profile.
Lead is used to reduce LOS angle at launch and allow seeker to maintain track.
Define superelevation in terms of IR SAMs flight profile.
Superelevation is required to prevent the missile from impacting the ground during initial cold launch.
Define ADA tactical range.
- The slant range at which a non-maneuvering fighter can expect to receive fire from a particular gun with a high probability of hit.
List the five categories and caliber of ADA.
- 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)
Describe the improvements to fire control, ammunition, and fuzing to increase the accuracy of ADA systems.
- Increased detection ranges against low RCS and small targets is critical to reaction time and target prioritization.
- 4 additional classified (reference slide 119)
List the three types of ADA fire.
- Barrage
- Curtain
- Aimed
List the elements of EW.
- Electronic attack (EA)
- Electronic protection (EP)
- Electronic warfare support (ES)
List the objectives of EA.
- Deny/delay
- Detection
- Identification
- tracking
- kill chain/decision making
- Increase weapon miss distance
List the three classes of GPS jamming.
- 3 classified answers (reference slide 142)
Identify three potential targets for low power in-band laser weapon.
- Human eye
- Human eye
- EO sensors
- IR sensors
the purpose of RF weapons. Give examples of different classes and their effects.
- RFW produce short, intense, directed pulses of EM energy that upset or damage targeted electronics.
- 3 classified examples (reference slide 145)
