25
Q

_____ 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.

A

Transfer Alignment

26
Q

What is required for the transfer alignment algorithm to accurately calculate and what must you do for it to happen

A

Acceleration

Maneuver the aircraft

27
Q

What is the range displayed for the transfer alignment and which value is best?

A

0 through 9

0

28
Q

What must be displayed in the FOR for transfer alignment to be engaged regardless of what FOM is displayed?

A

XA

29
Q

Does transfer alignment have any affect on laser boresight accuracy?

A

No

30
Q

What is the TSS FOR (azimuth and elevation)?

A

Az: +/- 110
Elev: +45 / -105

31
Q

What are the gun limits (az and elev)?

A

Az: +/- 110
Elev: +14.6 / -50

32
Q

How many targets may be simultaneously tracked? Of those, how many can be active?

A

13

3

33
Q

The yardstick display for the line of sight reticle is measured in? What is the max yardstick value displayed?

A

Meters

999 meters

34
Q

An _____ track must be selected and store to the track list before an aim point adjust can be initiated.

A

active

35
Q

How long may a frame save take to save? How many maybe saved?

A

4 mins

10

36
Q

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?

A

10 - 15secs

37
Q

What are the min laser range return settings? What is the start-up default?

A

300-24,500m

300m

38
Q

How long may the one-touch take to complete?

A

1 mins

39
Q

What does the non-uniformity correction (one touch) do?

A

re-calibrates the FLIR image to clear out any noice that may have developed after extended period of time

40
Q

What is the recommended airspeed if conducting inflight boresight? What should the heading be maintained within?

A

80-100 KIAS

2 degs

41
Q

When a boresight is successful what FOV and system is indicated by (111) from left to right?

A

FLIR NFOV
FLIR VNFOX
TV NFOV

42
Q

After an internal turrent temp change of ____, BSR will be displayed.

A

20 degs C

43
Q

What system (FLIR or TV) is recommend for extended laser designating for laser munitions?

A

FLIR

44
Q

How may boresights should be attempted if having trouble getting a valid boresight and why?

A

min of 4

bc after 3 the system resets and searches for the correct system setting

45
Q

What happens when an active track moves outside the FOV?

A

transitions to inertial track

46
Q

Should an active track be lased? If so, why?

A

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
Q

Can the TSS maintain FLIR and TV active tracks simultaneously?

A

No

48
Q

What is a quick look?

A

Switching from FLIR to TV or vice versa after an active track as been established.

49
Q

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.

A

40

45

50
Q

In 2D (ground track sub-mode), what does the TSS LOS slave to?

A

a/c velocity vector in azimuth and 0 deg elevation

51
Q

In which sub-mode will the LOS remain at the same relative position from the ADL when the slew controller is released?

A

Body

52
Q

Which track mode must be selected for body cueing to work?

A

A/A

53
Q

Terrain cueing is utilized for which track modes?

A

A/G and U/R

54
Q

What happens when you release transducer pressure while in terrain cueing sub-mode?

A

TSS LOS will stabilize to the current LOS position in local terrain space.

55
Q

Name the two slew modes available?

A

Position and Rate

56
Q

Auto Acquire only works in which two track modes?

A

A/A and A/G

57
Q

How do you conduct an extended range zoom?

A

FLIR selected with an active track engaged. Center press of polarity switch (6L)

58
Q

Can the laser or designator be fired in XR zoom?

A

Yes. It will move in a circular motion.

59
Q

Which screen is recorded from the DVR or 8mm tape?

A

Front Right MFD
