TADS Flashcards
(25 cards)
Can the internal boresight be performed in flight?
Yes
When should the internal boresight be performed?
As part of preflight procedures prior to use of laser weapons
What settings are automatically applied when initiating internal boresight?
The sight is set to TADS, the sensor to DTV, and the FOV to Narrow
What does squeezing the laser trigger to the second detent provide?
Ranging and designation
What does a flashing asterisk displayed in front of the range indicate?
Range is valid
What is the minimum distance for range focus of the MTADS?
Range is invalid
How many bursts of laser energy are fired when pulling the RH ORT grip trigger to the first detent?
One burst
What does the LMC require while maneuvering?
An accurate range
When should you perform an internal boresight for the TADS?
Prior to use of the laser and as often as necessary
Will the FLIR boresight be performed if the DTV internal boresight fails?
No
What do the TADS FOV Brackets surrounding the LOS reticle indicate?
Next FOV will be Zoom
What field of view is normally used for target acquisition?
M or N; N or Z are used for target identification and engagement
What causes the LOS reticle on flight symbology to flash?
LOS is invalid/selected, NVS is at its limit, or the gun system has failed
What happens if the FLIR is not cooled when DTV is boresighted?
The FLIR boresight will fail; however, the DTV boresight is valid
During a TADS Drift Null, where should the aim point remain?
Within the DTV NFOV for 30 sec
What does the internal boresight align?
The TADS DTV to the laser LOS and the FLIR to the DTV LOS
What must be performed successfully before the FLIR boresight?
The DTV boresight
What does a solid asterisk displayed in front of the range indicate?
Range is valid
How do you check the boresight correctors?
Access the DMS page, then select Boresight and the appropriate system
How long does the initial automated internal boresight process take?
Approximately 2 min; subsequent boresights take approximately 30 sec
Where are shared points stored in the 1000 point database?
In locations 100 to 950
What is the maximum PRF laser frequency that may be entered?
1788
What is the maximum allowable registration error allowed?
+/-2 ft at 90 ft, estimated by using the open area of the LOS reticle, equivalent to 90 ft
Where will a TGT XX message be displayed when storing a target with the TADS?
Weapons Inhibit for 4 sec
