AO2 STUDY GUIDE Guided missiles are classified according to their range, speed, launch environment, mission, and what else? - Vehicle type How is the speed capability of guided missiles expressed? - Mach numbers What is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium through which the object is moving? - Mach number Under standard atmospheric conditions, sonic speed is about how many miles per hour? - 766 What is a guided missile travelling at speeds up to Mach 0.8 classified as? - Subsonic What is a guided missile travelling at speeds up to Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2 classified as? - Transonic What is a guided missile travelling at speeds up to Mach 1.2 to Mach 5.0 classified as? - Supersonic What is a guided missile travelling at speeds above Mach 5.0 classified as? - Hypersonic Which type of missiles are fully operational and fully explosive loaded rounds, designed for service use in combat? - Service The external surfaces of all Navy guided missiles, except radome and antenna surfaces, are painted white or which other color? - Gray Which three significant color codes are used on guided missiles and their components? - Yellow, brown, and blue Which section is the brain of the missile which directs it's maneuvers and causes the maneuvers to be executed by the control section? - Guidance In which type of homing system does the missile get its target illumination from an external source, such as a transmitter carried in the launching aircraft? - Semi-active Which element or part of the missile that does what a particular missile is launched to do? - Payload There are two general types of fuzes used in guided missiles--proximity fuzes and which other type? - Contact What are electronic detecting devices similar to the detecting systems in VT fuzes that detect the presence of a target and determine the moment of firing? - TDDs There are three types of atmospheric jet propulsion systems--the turbojet, pulsejet, and what else? - Ramjet engines Which type of rocket motor does the majority of air-launched guided missiles used by the Navy use? - Solid propellant Which type of missile is the AIM-7M/P missile? - Semi-active Which type of missile has a low-level cruise trajectory
