Vol 3 Flashcards
What system is actually the brain of Precision-Guided Munitions?
Guidance section
Which type of guidance system is also known as television guided?
Electro-optical
Which type of guidance system is nothing more than very high frequency radio waves?
Radar
In which guidance system does the weapon send out the tracking energy?
Active
Which type of PGM hones in on energy reflected off the target by another source?
Semi-active
The purpose of the fixed control surface used on guided munitions is to
Stabilize the weapon in flight
To move their control surfaces, PGMs use either hydraulic, pneumatic, or
Electro-servo actuators
An aspect of the control system that can make minor or large corrections relative to the flight path of the target is said to have
Proportional navigation
The air-to-air missile proximity fuse detonation occurs when
The missile senses the target moving farther away
Before an air-to-ground guided munition will detonate, the fuze requires
An electrical impulse
What minimum components make up a propulsion system?
Rocket motor and igniter
Which type of rocket motor propellant is used in our air-to-air missiles?
Solid
Live missiles MUST always have a ground wire attached to them to prevent static electricity from
Igniting the rocket motor
The MAU-169 series computer control group (CCG) consists of a detector, _______________________
Computer, and control section
Which guided bomb unit (GBU) laser guided bomb (LGB) uses a 2k lb bomb body?
GBU-10
What airfoil group (AFG) component mounts the computer control group (CCG) to the warhead?
Forward adapter assembly
What purpose does the WGU-12/WGU-39 series guidance control unit (GCU) seeker platform assembly serve?
Looks for the reflected laser light signal
What subassembly of the WGU-12/WGU-39 series GCU processes incoming error signals and turns them into steering commands?
Guidance electronic unit
The purpose of the BSU-84 airfoil group (AFG) is to
Provide aerodynamic lift and stability during flight
The purpose of the aft faring assembly used in the GBU-24A/B is to
Provide and aerodynamic interface between the bomb and wing assembly
Which hazard is present when operation the digital test set TTU-595?
Invisible laser radiation
The wing actuator tool is used to perform which maintenance task?
Open and close the wings
He typical Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail assembly consists of
Tail faring/structure Tail actuator system Wire harness assembly Guidance control unit Global Positioning System antenna Three moveable control fins One fixed fin
What is NOT a benefit of off-axis delivery of the JDAM
Increased weapons range
Which JDAM guidance set components provide lift and maneuverability?
Aerosurfaces
Which Guided bomb unit (GBU) uses a 2k lb warhead?
GBU-31
Which GBU decreases the likelihood of collateral damage within populated areas?
GBU-38
