Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 149
Guidance System
CORRECT ANSWER
designed to determine direction to target and pick an interception path
RATIONALE
A guidance system's primary function is to provide a vehicle with the necessary information to
reach a specific destination or engage a target. This involves calculating the current position and
trajectory relative to the target, and then determining the optimal course of action to intercept or
reach it.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 149
Light Energy
CORRECT ANSWER
What tracking energy includes laser and infrared?
RATIONALE
Light energy encompasses electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye, as well as invisible
forms like infrared and ultraviolet. Lasers and infrared radiation are both forms of light energy.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 149
Electro Optical - TV
CORRECT ANSWER
Uses a camera to guide target
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Electro-optical guidance systems utilize visible light or infrared radiation to track targets. This type
of guidance system employs a camera, which acts as the sensor, to detect and follow the target's
emitted or reflected energy.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 149
Radar
CORRECT ANSWER
uses radar reflected off of target for tracking
RATIONALE
Radar systems track targets by analyzing the radio waves that are reflected off of them. This
reflected energy, or "echo," provides information about the target's location, speed, and direction.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 149
GAINS
CORRECT ANSWER
Uses GPS satellites
RATIONALE
GAINS refers to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Augmentation Network. This
network enhances the accuracy and integrity of positioning data provided by Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) satellites, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 149
Active
CORRECT ANSWER
tracking where weapon sends out tracking energy
Page 3
, RATIONALE
The term "active" in the context of a weapon implies that the weapon itself is emitting a signal to
locate its target. This is in contrast to a "passive" system, which would detect energy emitted by the
target.
Q7 QUESTION 7 OF 149
Passive
CORRECT ANSWER
Target produces tracking energy
RATIONALE
The term "passive" in this context refers to a target that does not actively emit any signals. Instead,
a passive target is detected by energy that is transmitted by an external source and then reflected
or scattered by the target.
Q8 QUESTION 8 OF 149
Semi-active
CORRECT ANSWER
Outside source produces tracking energy
RATIONALE
Semi-active systems utilize an external energy source to generate the tracking signal. This external
source provides the necessary energy for the system to operate and track its target.
Q9 QUESTION 9 OF 149
GAINs and Infrared guidance
CORRECT ANSWER
What kind of guidance does the AGM-158 JASSM use?
