General knowledge
The FAAD interface operates in one of six modes, name three of those modes of operations.
C2I (Normal), CONOPS-EPLRS, CONOPS-SINCGARS, CONOPS-Cable, Test, RESC2S
What should be engaged in a closed environment on the sentinel radar while performing PMCS?
Dummy switch
What switch is set to normal position prior to starting the radar
Dead crank switch
What does the QUEAM stand for
Quick erect antenna mast
Describe what the SINCGARS or ASIPs Radio provide?
Radio set also provides send-only CONOPS data communication. Voice communication during movement or operation of the Sentinel is also provided by the SINCGARS radio set. CONOPS radios and Sentinel support items are mounted or stowed on the HMMWV
The Surface Wire Grounding System (SWGS) provides ___________.
Provides the system with electrical ground for the shelter.
What is the dead space above the radar called
Cone of silence
The 10kW AMMPS Generator Set, MEP-1040 has an operating temperature of
50-135 degrees Fahrenheit
The QEAM can be deployed on a maximum ___________ degree slope.
10
What are some differences of the EPLRS and SINCGARS pertaining to Sentinel CONOPS?
An Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) radio set provides send-only CONOPS data communication. A Single-Channel Ground/Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) radio set also provides send-only CONOPS data communication. Voice communication during movement or operation of the Sentinel is also provided by the SINCGARS radio set.
What are the three types of reconnaissance methods Sentinel teams employ while performing the RSOP tasks?
Map, Aerial, Ground
Seven major hazards exist while operating the sentinel radar, name 3
Backing Vehicle, Antenna Rotation, ATG Fall, Electrical Shock, RF Radiation, Truck Fall and Soldering.
True or False: The 10kW AMMPS Generator Set, MEP-1040, is a self-contained, skid mounted, portable unit. It is equipped with controls, instruments and accessories necessary for operation.
True
The Quick Erect Antenna Mast can be raised up to ___________.
10 Meters
What is the full nomenclature of the IFF interrogator the will be filled with mode 4 or 5 codes that is house in the AN/MPQ64-A3 antenna array?
AN/TPX-57
Describe Early Warning
Early warning is a function of the fires warfighting function and is critical to the preservation of the force allowing the commander to apply maximum combat power. Sentinel systems deliver critical information about the airspace within and around the battle area contributing to the commander’s common operational picture.
What piece of equipment is used to orient the radar if the NFS is inoperable
Bore sight telescope assembly
What is the purpose or function of the dead crank switch?
The engine starter may be cranked without starting the engine by positioning switch to CRANK. With the switch positioned to NORMAL, engine starter cranking is controlled by the MASTER SWITCH on the generator control panel. With the switch in the OFF position, the engine starter will not crank.
The QEAM can be deployed in winds up to ___________ mph. Directional pointing accuracy is maintained in winds up to ___________ mph. Maximum survival wind speed is ___________ mph.
25 MPH, 60 MPH, 80 MPH
What does the DAGR or (PLGR) and DAGR antenna provide?
The DAGR (Figure 9, Item 3) and DAGR ANTENNA (Figure 9, Item 2) and receives Global Positioning System (GPS) signals required for Sentinel operation.
What is the purpose of the KIV-77?
The KIV-77 (Figure 13, Item 1) is removable module used to generate the challenge sequence for Mode 4 interrogations and reply decoding.
What indicator on the RSC (Radar Set Control Panel) comes on when the azimuth drive circuit breaker is open?
ANT CB OPEN
The 10kW AMMPS Generator Set, MEP-1040 uses what type of fuel?
Diesel
True or false: If you are using an external antenna such as an OE-254, you must connect the SINCGARS antenna port to the J10 port that the external antenna is plugged into on the exterior roadside rear of shelter
False... you MUST connect the SINCGARS antenna port to the remote antenna port
Describe the Enhanced Radar Control Terminal (ERCT)
The RCT (Figure 4, Item 1) provides visual display of radar data. RCT contains a keypad for data entry and control of signal processor computer. RCT is mounted within protective enclosure of SIU for transport. RCT can be operated from the SIU enclosure, or removed and connected by a longer data link cable for remote operation
