Question 3

(223) 4. Where is the ITA connected on the test station and what is its purpose?

Answer 3

The interface test adapter (ITA) is connected to the test station via the front panel interface carrier assembly (ICA) connection. The ITA provides the interface between the UUT and electronic equipment test station through interconnecting cables.

Question 4

(223) 5. What is the purpose of the manifold on the mobile workstation?

Answer 4

Supplies cooling air to the UUT during powered applications.

Question 5

(224) 1. What is the 82 Bench work bench primarily used for?

Answer 5

A power receptacle for individual test equipment and UUTs.

Question 6

(224) 2. What type of power on the workbench is used for some UUT power requirements?

Answer 6

120/208 VAC, 400-Hz, 3-phase power jacks

Question 7

(224) 3. What is the difference between the two styles of holding fixtures?

Answer 7

The MT-2812 has one flexible air duct adapter, while the MX-4285 has two.

Question 8

(225) 1. Which WSP circuit card assembly (CCA) only requires verification before being installed?

Answer 8

The asynchronous/synchronous serial interface CCAs aka RMB 32 modules

Question 9

(226) 1. What is the MGS stored in and why?

Answer 9

Shipping container; to maintain temperatures between 45 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit

Question 10

(226) 2. Why is the MGS inspection so detailed?

Answer 10

Since the MGS is a hardness critical item (HCI)

Question 11

(226) 3. Why are the external surfaces of the MGC and MGSC painted and what might be required if a scratch is discovered?

Answer 11

To protect the shield surface from scratches. The base shielding must be inspected for damage, therefore, the surface coating may have to be removed using acetone and a cloth.

Question 12

(226) 4. What is the white powdery substance called that may at times secrete from the elastomer connector shield material?

Answer 12

Acid bloom

Question 13

(226) 5. What must be accomplished on the MGSTS before being used to OPCERT the MGS?

Answer 13

The MGSTS self-test

Question 14

(226) 7. Installation of what item is deemed a hardness critical procedure and what does it protect?

Answer 14

The installation of the protective cover set. The covers protect hardness critical components in the MGS,, like the MGC radiation shield from inadvertent damage. They also prevent tools, hardware or other miscellaneous items from falling into the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) housing.

Question 15

(226) 8. What are some things you must be aware of when performing the MGS certification procedure?

Answer 15

• Applying ground power to a MGS for more than 30 minutes during MGS certification can damage the MGS because there is no cooling system in use during the certification process.
• Do not perform MGS certification procedures on the same MGS more than six times in a 24 hour period. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.
• In the event the MGSTS fails during the automated MGS certification procedure, ensure the 30-minute time limit is not exceeded. Failure to comply could result in equipment damage.
• If a failure occurs during the certification test the MGS, MGSTS, computer and HDD serial numbers must be recorded. The failure message, date, time and operator name must be recorded as well.

Question 16

(227) 1. What type of testing is the MMTS used for?

Answer 16

Off-line testing of all strategic automated command and control system (SACCS) related LRUs including the KIV-7M cryptographic device. (To test communication equipment)

Question 17

(227) 2. What does the missile maintenance test set (MMTS) test stands house?

Answer 17

The configuration items (CIs) or LRUs during LRU testing and troubleshooting.

Question 18

(228) 1. what does the ICBM code processing system (ICPS) consist of?

Answer 18

The shielded enclosure (SE), the common certification/operating system (CCOS) software, and the wing code processing system (WCPS)

Question 19

(228) 2. What additional components of the SE provide additional EMSEC protection?

Answer 19

Pneumatic door, power line filters, air conditioning filters, and fiber optic communication link

Question 20

(228) 3. What are some of the reasons why a cold start would be performed?

Answer 20

The system disk was replaced, the system crashed, or the software is being loaded for the first time.

Question 21

(228) 4. What does the wing code processing system (WCPS) prepare for the Minuteman weapon system?

Answer 21

Code, key and software materials

Question 22

(228) 5. What is meant by red-sensitive area?

Answer 22

EMSEC protected area of the WCPS because of the sensitive data that is processed there.
