U-28 MEF Exam

Question 1

What are the factors affecting GPS receiver vunerability?

Answer 1

• Receiver mode: acquiring vs. tracking
• GPS code in use: C/A code vs. P(Y) code
• Design of receiver and antenna (FRPA, CRPA)

Question 2

What is the signal to jam ratio of the following?

Answer 2

C - 24

P - 41

P coupled with I - 54-62

P coupled to I w/ CRPA - 83

Question 3

List the four jamming techniques:

Answer 3

• Brute force
• Smart noise
• Coherent
• Spoofing

Question 4

What are the GPS inputs to the UNS 1 and state the affects of jamming?

Answer 4

Inputs:

• GPS signal from antenna #3 (FMS non-SAASM)
• SAASM GPS signal (TA-24)

Affects:

• Deception jamming: select GPS1 and deselect GNSS1 for SAASM GPS signal.
• Denial jamming: deselect GNSS1 and GPS and run strictly DME-DME

Question 12

List the steps of D3A, F2T2EA, and F3EA

Answer 12

1. D3A
   
   1. Decide, Detect, Deliver, Assess
2. F2T2EA
   
   1. Find, fix, track, target, engage, assess
3. F3EA
   
   1. Find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze (disseminate)

Question 13

What is an advantage of F2T2EA or F3EA methodology over D3A?

Answer 13

There are especially well suited to dynamic targets.

Question 14

What is the main efforts of F3EA(D)?

Answer 14

Exploitation and analysis.

Question 15

Define the exploitation goals of F3EA.

Answer 15

1. Force Protection: prevent attacks on friendly forces
2. Targeting: enable future lethal and nonlethal operations against the enemy
3. Component and materiel sourcing: determine origin and routing of equipment and personnel
4. Prosecution: apply rules of evidence to ensure successful prosecution when situation warrants

Question 16

What are the Decide step products in D3A?

Answer 16

• High-payoff target list (HPTL): Prioritized list of HPT
• ISR plan: designed to address commander’s PIR
• Target-selection standards (TSS): addresses accuracy or other specific criteria that must be met before targets can be attacked
• Attack-guidance matrix (AGM): specifies which targets will be attacked, and how, when and with what desired effect
• Approved by the commander
