Data Bus Systems
This is the first step in system function
What is Initialization
This is the mode CNI-SPs operate in when they are both active but not in-sync
What is Independent Mode
This bus integrates the RADAR altimeter system and electronic circuit breaker into the CNI-MS
What is the Avionics Bus
This form of energy travels at the speed of light, refracts when moving through different densities, reflects off smooth surfaces, and can be absorbed into certain materials
What is Infrared (IR)
The IR Detector Cooler cools the IR Detector within temperature range
What is 10oK-150oK
This section of a computer is responsible for all communication out the component
What is the Input/Output Section (I/O)
This is the amount of CNI-MUs found on a C-130J
What is 3
This acts as the backup bus controller if both mission computers fail
What is the Bus Interface Unit (BIU)
Distance loss and Atmospheric loss are the two types of this occurrence
This unit controls the sensory system, and can be either a dedicated or integrated system
What is the Control Unit
What is gather, store, organize, and manipulate information
This component consists of a display and keyset functions
What is the CNI-MU
These are the 4 categories of CNI-MS
What are Communication Radio Management, Navigation Radio Management, Identify Friend-or-Foe (IFF), and Flight Management
This is when the physical makeup of the atmosphere permits certain wavelengths of infrared to penetrate
What is Atmospheric Transmission Windows
This component is responsible for managing and control the internal process and operations of the sensor system
What is the Video Processor/Control Computer
This ability allows crew to focus their attention on other details of a mission
What is automation
You can find two of these on a C-130J. They manage the overall control of airplane systems and displays, and store operational and maintenance data.
What is Mission Computer
This unit does simple digital to analog conversion
This type of imaging sensory system works through climates like rain, fog, humidity, and mist
What is video sensor systems (visible light)
These are the three parts of the Imaging Unit
What are the Charged Coupled Device (CCD), I-Tube assembly, and filter/shutter lens assembly
This is when a computer used automated functions to provide commands that carry out a task
What is a Control Function
This is the main software that controls activities of an aircraft during pre-flight, taxi, and in-flight
What is the OFP
This is a maintenance system to support aircraft diagnostic that uses a laptop
What is DTADS
This form of energy is generated by molecular friction
What is heat
This unit provides precision pointing and mounting support system for the major sensor system components
What is the Gimbal
