Federal Contracting Requirements (FCR) Exam
Questions and Answers
Which radar factor does a narrower radar beam width
(scan width) improve? - ANSWER>>Time on Target.
The AH-64E uses what type of radar system? - ANSWER>>Pulsed Wave Radar
system.
During the periods between transmissions of a pulsed radar system, what is the
radar doing? - ANSWER>>Listening for the echo.
What is the difference between a B-scope display and a C-scope display? -
ANSWER>>B-scope displays target information in Azimuth and Range.
C-scope displays target information in Azimuth and Elevation
What are the three major components that make up the Longbow Fire Control
Radar (FCR)? - ANSWER>>Mast Mounted Assembly (MMA), Radar Electronic Unit
(REU)
Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI) Processor
How is the MMA cooled? - ANSWER>>Filtered ambient air drawn in from the
surrounding environment.
How are the other FCR components cooled? - ANSWER>>The other two
components that make up the FCR system are located in the IEFABs and therefore
are cooled by the ECS air.
Which component is zeroized when the Master Zeroize switch is selected? -
ANSWER>>The Non-Volatile memory of the Servo Electronics LRM within the REU.
Can the crew initiate another Power-on Built-In Test (PBIT) if the FCR has timed-out
under extremely cold conditions? - ANSWER>>YES. If 13 minutes have passed, the
MP will report FCR as not operational. An additional FCR power-up may then be
started.
What four items should the crew ensure prior to initiating an FCR power-up
sequence? - ANSWER>>MMA must be unpinned, Verify the DMS-UTIL-BORESIGHT-
BPS, offset value is correct, Heading Tape present (EGI Alignment), and EFAB L/R ECS
supply Temperature is ≤ 63 degrees F.
, Should both crewmembers perform the FCR Operational Check? - ANSWER>>If it is
anticipated that both the pilot and CPG will operate the FCR during the mission,
then this task should be completed in both crew stations.
How many scan sizes are available to the crew in any of the targeting modes? -
ANSWER>>Four. Wide (W), Medium (M), Narrow (N), Zoom (Z).
There are three Priority Schemes resident within the REU: A, B, and C. If B is
selected, which targets are being emphasized? - ANSWER>>Stationary ground
targets only.
6.How can the PLT move the Fire Control Radar (FCR) centerline? The CPG? -
ANSWER>>1. Acquisition Source option (PLT - Automatic slave).
(CPG - Must press SLAVE).
2. Manually using the RHG Sight Manual Tracker (CPG only)
3. Left / Right button from the FCR page: Only available to the CM
whose selected sight is FCR
4. Executing the CUED search option in response to an RFI detect.
Which crewmember can make FCR centerline adjustments? - ANSWER>>The
crewmember that has the FCR as the selected sight.
What does it indicate if the FCR page L/R arrows are barriered? - ANSWER>>The
CPG has the FCR as their selected sight, and slave button is
active (Slaved).
How far does the FCR centerline move when the FCR page L or R arrow is selected? -
ANSWER>>FCR centerline will move left or right the number of degrees
based on, and equal to, the currently selected scan size.
Total target count TSD Nav Phase - ANSWER>>16 Targets
Total target count TSD ATK Phase - ANSWER>>256 Targets
Total target count FCR page - ANSWER>>16 Targets
Total target count C-SCP - ANSWER>>16 Targets
What are the four ways the crewmember with the FCR sight-selected can change
the NTS? - ANSWER>>1. Cursor Selection
2. Selecting the NTS option at L1
3. Conducting a Radio Frequency Handover (RFHO)
4. Firing an RF missile at the NTS target
