Q

Proper Scan technique

A
  1. The pilot must keep his head moving between several reference point to notice drift
    a. The Reference points should be stationary objects
  2. Detect drift by looking opposite of the direction of drift.

    b.Abeam point for forward/aft drift
    c. Scan inside to the RADALT for altitude drift.

Q

IIMC is more probable on NVGs why?

A

Due to the NVGs seeing in the Near IR they can see through thin clouds and marine layers.

22
Q

What is collimation?

A

take the separate picture from the two monoculars and align them for viewing

23
Q

nomenclature for the hud

A

AN/AVS-7

24
Q

Purpose of the HUD?

A

Purpose is to provide pilot and copilot flight data allowing them to focus their scan outside.

25
Q

Nomenclature for FLIR

A

AN/AAQ-29A (Forward Looking Infared)

26
Q

FLIR FOVs

A

wide (1x), medium(6x), and narrow(23x)

27
Q

In what micrometer band does the FLIR see?

A

3-5 microns (micrometers)

28
Q

FLIR modes of operations

A

Cruise Mode(CRUS)[constant airspeed and altitude/no symbols]

Acquisition Mode(ACQ)[to acquire ground target/ no symbols]

Transition Mode(TRNS)[below 60 knots]

Hover Mode(HVR) [below 5 knots]

Position Mode(PSN)[below 5 knots]

29
Q

FLIR Turret Servo Modes

A

7 of them:
1. Look ahead
2. Stow
3. Normal
4. Auto track enable
5. Rate
6. Autotrack
7. Scan

30
Q

FLIR Auto track acquisition modes

A

Best fit BFIT
Motion difference MDIF
Intensity difference IDIF
Manual Gate MANG

31
Q

Auto track mode has what two types of tracking?

A

Centroid and correlation

32
Q

FLIR: What is Centroid tracking used for? Correlation tracking? Can they be combined?

A
  1. High contrast targets.
  2. Low contrast
  3. Yes they can
33
Q

FLIR: what are the 4 AT Algorithm modes in sequential order?

A

Centroid

Correlation

Complementary

Automatic Tracking

34
Q

If CHOT remains visible after 18 minutes, what should be conducted?

A

Turn it off

35
Q

At what humidity level does it become an effective wall for the FLIR?

A

20g/m3

36
Q

What do you do if you get:
1) CHOT
2)PHOT
3)THOT

A

1) CHOT(cyro > 100k)= On startup wait 18 min run BIT of still visible shutdown

2) PHOT(SEU hot) = shutoff

3) THOT(FLIR unit hot)= shutoff system

37
Q

How does do the Autotrack algorithms work?

A
  1. Centroid- locates a shape within track gate and tracks the centroid(center of it)
  2. Correlation- utilizes contrast of the image to track.
  3. Complimentary- uses both simultaneously
  4. Automatic tracking- chooses between Centroid and Correlation continuously and depending on target and background uses whichever is best.
38
Q

What is FOR?

A

Field of Regard

Is the total angle the TFU(turret FLIR unit) can be positioned in azimuth and elevation relative to the centerline

39
Q

What does the FLIR SEU do?

A

System Electronic unit

Controls TFU servo functions, processes FLIR video signals and manages auto track functions

40
Q

What does the FLIR DEU do?

A

Display Electronic Units (DEU)

in Right eBay

Provides power forms, horizontal and vertical deflection, and BIT

41
Q

FLIR BFIT:

A
  1. Reduces pilot workload with little interaction.
  2. When tracking box automatically resizes itself to the target and moves to the center of the display.
42
Q

FLIR MDIF:

A
  1. Used to detect motion within the track area
  2. Select target scene; pull to 1st trigger to initiate, display should go to TAPD; once motion is detected solid box, sizes and centers target
43
Q

FLIR IDIF:

A
  1. Used to detect differences between stored reference intensity values and new intensity changes.
  2. Once in the TAPD mode, the system sets the reference intensity values and utilizes the highest intensity value to track. Once the system has detected a change in the intensity value, a solid line track gate is placed around the target. The system then resizes the gate and centers it in the display.
44
Q

How do you stop tracking on the FLIR?

A

Pull to the second detent.

45
Q

FLIR:

When do you change the gov when tracking?

A

Step down when target can no longer be continued in track gate max size

Step up when target size reaches approx ½ max gate size

46
Q

How shades of grey should be distinguishable during FLIR setup?

A
