|
What does the MTS provide the MQ–9 system? |
A single video output from its IR, DTV, or LLTV cameras, or a combination of the previously mentionedcameras. |
|
|
How can video processing circuitry create a composite image with much greater detail than anyof the video sources could produce alone? |
By combining (or fusing) these signals in different ways. |
|
|
If the MTS EU controls the TU, then what controls the EU itself? |
Commands from the RCM. |
|
|
What type of voltage is used for noncritical circuits like fans, heaters, and the laser HECassembly in the TU? |
Unfiltered 28 VDC. |
|
|
How does the WFOV/UWFOV camera provide both UWFOV and WFOV? |
By combining fixed ultrawide optics with an electronic zoom that narrows the FOV to provide WFOV. |
|
|
How does the LLTV camera allow the user to see in conditions much too dark for the human eyeor DTV camera? |
The light from a beam splitter strikes a photocathode in an image intensifier, dislodging electrons that areaccelerated across an electrostatic field. The electrons gain energy as they are accelerated across the electricfield, then they strike another photocathode, releasing more electrons and repeating the process in eachstage of the image intensifier device until they are directed onto a phosphor screen (like a small, green TVscreen). |
|
|
What separates the IR energy received through a turret window and directs it to the IR detector? |
A beam splitter. |
|
|
How is an inadvertent change in the selected field of view avoided when firing the laserrangefinder/designator with auto-track engaged? |
The laser firing zoom-lock function. |
|
|
When is the laser boresighting alignment process especially important? |
When designating targets for attack with LGMs. |
|
|
No laser can be armed in flight or on ground unless first receiving what signal. |
MASTER ARM command from the RCM. |
|
|
If the laser is fired when aimed at a masked area, what will happen when it passes that maskedarea? |
When the laser is clear of the masked area it will automatically resume firing, providing that the sensoroperator has kept the laser fire trigger pressed during the masking event. |
|
|
If the TU temperature is below –10 °C at power-up, what will occur? |
A blanket-type heater mounted to the LRD housing is energized to warm the laser chassis. |
|
|
If the EU receives an LOS rate command, what will it do? |
Decode the command and output it to the TU as high-power drive signals from remote drive PWMcontroller. |
|
|
If the image in AUTO fusion mode is not satisfactory, what should the operator try? |
Manual fusion mode. |
|
|
If MTS is shut down normally, what will occur on next power-up? |
It performs initialization and loads a set of default operational commands, including selection of slaveposition mode. |
