the ARR-72 sonobuoy receiver system consists of 31 fixed tuned receivers that receive RF inputs form two blade antennas.
|
|
|
State the purpose of the following tactical equipment:
Radio Detection and ranging (RADAR) |
used to detect objects at distances much greater than visually possible. Detectable objects include aircraft, ships, land areas, clouds, and storms. In addition to detecting these objects, the radar shows their range and relative position.
APS-115 |
|
|
State the purpose of the following tactical equipment:
Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) |
detects submarines by measuring changes (anomalies) in the earth's magnetic field caused by the submarine. The detected anomalies are registered on a paper recorder (RO -32 ) located at the SS3 station.
ASQ-81 |
|
|
State the purpose of the following tactical equipment:
Electronic Support Countermeasures (ESM)- |
gathers intelligence from the enemy's electronic devices and make them ineffective.
ALR-66 ESM is a totally passive system meaning that it does not emit any signal that can be detected by the enemy. |
|
|
State the purpose of the following tactical equipment:
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) |
an electronic system that allows a friendly craft to identify itself automatically before approaching near enough to threaten the security of other naval units.
APX-76 |
|
|
State the purpose of the following tactical equipment:
Infrared Detection System (IRDS)- |
Converts infrared radiation emanating form a heat source.

|
|
|
State the function of the aircraft battery.
|
provides a reserve source of electrical power for select electrical systems. During normal aircraft operations, the generator maintains the battery in a charged state. (it is pink/red in color)
|
|
|
State the function of the main alternating current (AC) generator.
|
the P-3 utilizes AC as the primary electrical powers source. The AC power requirements are supplied by four interchangeable brush less generator that supplies 115 Volts; three phase power at 400 HZ.
|
|
|
State the function of the transformer rectifier.
|
the heart of the DC power system is the transformer rectifier unit. Transformer-rectifiers 1&2 receive AC power directly from the main AC buses A and B, respectively. They in turn rectify the AC input to a 28-volt DC output fro use at the main DC bus. Transformer-rectifier 3 receives its power input from the NEAC bus and routes its 28VDC output to the MEDC.
|
|
|
State the function of the supervisory panel.
|
provides over-voltage, under voltage, off-frequency and feeder fault protection to their respective generators.
|
|
|
State the purpose of the multiple aircraft electrical bus system.
|
