(223) 2. What is the magnetic tape called that controls the computers of the B-52H OAS?
The operational computer program (OCP)
(223) 1. What is the maximum number of missile the B-52H can carry?
20 AGM-86B/C missiles
(223) 3. Which program performs launcher, pylon, and missile simulator checkouts?
The weapon preload tester computer program (WPTCP)
(223) 4. List the five offensive avionics system subsystems.
Interface, computational, control and display (CAD), navigation and guidance, and weapon control and delivery
(223) 5 How does the computational subsystem of the offensive avionics system receive and transmit data?
Over the MIL-STD-1553A data bus
(223) 6. Which offensive avionics system subsystem provides control and supervision of navigation and bombing, and missile initialization and launch?
Control and display
(223) 7. What are the two jettison modes provided by the B-52H weapon control and delivery subsystem?
Missile and pylon
(223) 8. What environmental system is used for heating or cooling the missiles and missile interface unit/nuclear station logic unit on the B-52H?
The missile conditioning system (MCS)
(223) 9. What is an ejector?
An electromechanical device that attaches to the missile’s forward and aft clevis assemblies and is then secured to either a pylon or a launcher.
(223) 10. What ejector is used to launch the air-launched cruise missile/conventional air-launched cruise missile from the B-52H?
The MAU-12D/A ejector
(223) 11. What piece of equipment provides the interface between the missile/ejector package and the carrier aircraft avionics control unit?
The MIU (also called the decoder/receiver)
(223) 12. What does the nuclear station logic unit provide?
The interface between the controlling ACU and the ejectors on the CSRL.
(223) 13. What is the purpose of the aircraft pylon?
It’s on aerodynamic interface between the B-52H and cruise missiles.
(223) 14. What is the maximum number of missiles a B-52H pylon support?
Six
(223) 15. What routes the supplied air to each missile and the missile interface unit?
A manifold within the pylon
(223) 16. When can pylon jettison be performed?
Anytime the operator deems it necessary.
(223) 17. What systems make up the common strategic rotary launcher?
Power, environmental control, monitor and control, and mechanical
(223) 18. If a missile has been launched, what happens to the cooling air?
The bypass valves route the cooling air directly to the return lines.
(223) 19. What provides the interface between the controlling avionics control unit and the ejector?
The NucSLU
(223) 20. What does the mechanical system of the common strategic rotary launcher allow?
The rotation of the launcher shaft to place the selected weapon at the six o’clock position for release.
(224) 1. What is accomplished to ensure integration is working after mating a common strategic rotary launcher to the aircraft?
MIT and/or SIT tests are used to perform checkouts of the A/C weapon system integration components
(224) 2. What is the MIT used to verify?
Communication between the weapon and the aircraft
(224) 3. The WCE includes which equipment?
The power drive unit controller (PDUC), MIU, environmental control unit (ECU), and armament interface unit (AIU)
(224) 4. What must be accomplished prior to initiating troubleshooting of weapon system faults?
The payload(s) must be isolated
