Q

During rocket and gun ordnance delivery using laser it may take up to __ seconds to obtain an optimal fire control solution in eye-safe mode, ___ secs in tactical laser ranging mode and ____ second in tactical designation mode.

25
_____ is the process by which the IMU position and EGI position are correlated to establish alignment between both the TV and FLIR, and the aircraft.
Transfer Alignment
26
What is required for the transfer alignment algorithm to accurately calculate and what must you do for it to happen
Acceleration | Maneuver the aircraft
27
What is the range displayed for the transfer alignment and which value is best?
0 through 9 | 0
28
What must be displayed in the FOR for transfer alignment to be engaged regardless of what FOM is displayed?
XA
29
Does transfer alignment have any affect on laser boresight accuracy?
No
30
What is the TSS FOR (azimuth and elevation)?
Az: +/- 110 Elev: +45 / -105
31
What are the gun limits (az and elev)?
Az: +/- 110 Elev: +14.6 / -50
32
How many targets may be simultaneously tracked? Of those, how many can be active?
13 | 3
33
The yardstick display for the line of sight reticle is measured in? What is the max yardstick value displayed?
Meters | 999 meters
34
An _____ track must be selected and store to the track list before an aim point adjust can be initiated.
active
35
How long may a frame save take to save? How many maybe saved?
4 mins | 10
36
When using a PIM code as the selected laser code, how long of a delay is there for the appropriate code to be recognized and displayed in the TSS annunciation box?
10 - 15secs
37
What are the min laser range return settings? What is the start-up default?
300-24,500m | 300m
38
How long may the one-touch take to complete?
1 mins
39
What does the non-uniformity correction (one touch) do?
re-calibrates the FLIR image to clear out any noice that may have developed after extended period of time
40
What is the recommended airspeed if conducting inflight boresight? What should the heading be maintained within?
80-100 KIAS | 2 degs
41
When a boresight is successful what FOV and system is indicated by (111) from left to right?
FLIR NFOV FLIR VNFOX TV NFOV
42
After an internal turrent temp change of ____, BSR will be displayed.
20 degs C
43
What system (FLIR or TV) is recommend for extended laser designating for laser munitions?
FLIR
44
How may boresights should be attempted if having trouble getting a valid boresight and why?
min of 4 | bc after 3 the system resets and searches for the correct system setting
45
What happens when an active track moves outside the FOV?
transitions to inertial track
46
Should an active track be lased? If so, why?
Yes, bc it allows for an update of the target locate data from passive range estimation. If an active track is not lased prior to it becoming inertial, the operator may see a relatively large offset between inertial track symbol and the actual point on the ground of the previous active track.
47
Can the TSS maintain FLIR and TV active tracks simultaneously?
No
48
What is a quick look?
Switching from FLIR to TV or vice versa after an active track as been established.
49
When in 3D (velocity vector slave sub-mode), the velocity vector drops below ____ KIAS and will automatically slave to the ADL. It will revert back to 3D above ___ KIAS.
40 | 45
50
In 2D (ground track sub-mode), what does the TSS LOS slave to?
a/c velocity vector in azimuth and 0 deg elevation
51
In which sub-mode will the LOS remain at the same relative position from the ADL when the slew controller is released?
Body
52
Which track mode must be selected for body cueing to work?
A/A
53
Terrain cueing is utilized for which track modes?
A/G and U/R
54
What happens when you release transducer pressure while in terrain cueing sub-mode?
TSS LOS will stabilize to the current LOS position in local terrain space.
55
Name the two slew modes available?
Position and Rate
56
Auto Acquire only works in which two track modes?
A/A and A/G
57
How do you conduct an extended range zoom?
FLIR selected with an active track engaged. Center press of polarity switch (6L)
58
Can the laser or designator be fired in XR zoom?
Yes. It will move in a circular motion.
59
Which screen is recorded from the DVR or 8mm tape?
Front Right MFD
