general tactics

what are the levels of care

1- most basic level of care can prevent further injury. Buddy aid, first aid, FLAS or BAS 2- first dedicated surgical care available to casualty. Resuscitative surgery and trauma stabilization, surgical companies, surgical shock trauma platoon, 3-definitive and specialty surgery is available. Increased holding capacities, hospital ships, expeditionary medical facilities 4- same surgical capabilities as level 3 but provide longer term rehab/therapy care. Rota spain and landstuhl germany 5 definitive convalescent, restorative, and rehab care to restore to functional health. VA hospitals, CONUS civilian hospitals, military medical centers

what does OFP stand for

Operational Flight Program

what chaff do we use

RR-129

what are IRCCM

a combination of triggers that detect a flare or IRCM in the fov and a response that enables the seeker to reject or limit flare effectiveness

What is weapons condition free

gunners engage anything not PID friendly

what is weapons conditions tight

gunners engage only when PID as hostile

what does HARLID stand for

high angular laser irradiance detector

what does IOSC stand for

integrated optical sensor converters

what are responses for IRCCM

-memory (closes its eyes and forgets the flare) -seeker push ahead (pushes ahead of flare) -seeker push/pull (pushes away from flare and towards whatever it was tracking before) -sector attenuation (filter reduces sensitivity in that region)

what are triggers for IRCCM

-rise time (intensity)- sees rise in IR energy -2 color comparison (spectral)- sees 2 temps so 2 IR colors -kinematic-sees motion of ejecting flare -spatial-sees 2 hotspots in FOV

what is the ALE OFP

1133

what is the AAR OFP

3050

what is the ALE MDF

4508

what flares do we use

MJU-32 overt flares MJU-49 covert flares

what does MDF stand for

Mission Data File

what is AAR display priorities

beam riders missile threats laser designators Rockets Guns range finders

what does CLI stand for

clutter level indication

what is a gen-4 manpad

cooled seeker with IRCCM reprogrammable , stinger RMP

whats a gen-2 manpad

cooled seeker, SA 14, SA16

whats a gen-3 manpad

cooled with IRCCM SA-18, stinger basic

whats DIRCM engagement sequence

detect and declare handoff and slew track and jam

what is weapons condition hold

do not fire except in self defense

what are the 5 stages of a manpad

ejection ignition transition sustain burnout

what are the 5 axioms of survival

lookout doctrine and threat detection threat evaluation give the attack warning avoid detection air combat maneuvering

what is a gen-5 manpad

true imaging seeker keiko

whats a gen-1 manpad
