107.5 Define the following Sonobuoy classification: ACTIVE
|
Active sonobuoys are either self timed or commendable. Self timed – sonar transmitter pulses the transducers at a fixed pulse length and at fixed pulse intervals. Commendable – sonar transmitter pulses the transducers at a specific frequency for a length of time determined by UHF commands from the controlling aircraft. This may provide omnidirectional or directional range bearing Doppler.
|
|
|
107.5 Define the following Sonobuoy classification: PASSIVE
|
Passive sonobuoys detect underwater sounds, convert them to electrical energy, and transmit a signal to a receiving station. Omnidirectional passive buoys use an omnidirectional hydrophone to detect sounds of a target sub. A single omnidirectional sonobuoy cannot determine the position of the target, however, range estimates can be made if the acoustic conditions are known. Directional passive buoys employs both hydrophones with an output that indicates the bearing of the target relative to the sonobuoy position. A magnetic compass is used in combination with the hydrophones to determine azimuth angle of the target with respect to magnetic North. These inputs are multiplexed and transmitted to the receiving aircraft for processing and display.
|
|
|
107.5 Define the following Sonobuoy classification: SPECIAL PURPOSE
|
Special Purpose sonobuoys sonobuoys include the AN/SSQ-36, AN/SSQ-86 AND AN/SSQ-110. AN/SSQ-36 is used to measure water temperature versus depth. The depth is determined by timing the descent of its temperature probe, which descends at a constant 5 feet per second. The probe uses a thermistor to measure the temperature. The electrical output of the probe is applied to a voltage controlled oscillator signal which frequency modulates the sonobuoy transmitter. The transmitted signal frequency is linearly proportional to water temperature. AN/SSQ-86 is intended for use as a means of one way communication from aircraft to subs and was procured under limited production. It is not commandable and provides down link communications by acoustically transmitting a preselected code. AN/SSQ-110 is a commandable SUS. Explosive charges are dropped on command.

|
107.6 Explain the purpose of the Explosive Mishap Report
|
The Explosive Mishap Report (EMR) applies to explosive incidents involving conventional ordnance, ammunition, explosives, explosive systems and devices resulting in an actual unintentional detonation, firing, deflagration, burning, launching of ordnance material leaking or spilled propellant fuels and oxidizers (less Otto fuel); or chemical agent release. Even if a system works as advertised, if human error contribution to an incident or injury, report the event as an explosive mishap.
