(MTN) Operations Post 2 Test Questions with
Correct Answers
What are the two types of Link 16 capacity? Select all that apply. Terminal capacity
System capacity
Which JTIDS/MIDS access technique allows a common group of timeslots to be used for the
same function but on different operating selectable nets? Stacked Nets
What are the terminal design features that contribute to JTIDS/MIDS jam resistance? Select all
that apply. High hopping rate of 76,923 hops per second
Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) coding
Pseudorandom frequency-hopping pattern over 51 discrete center frequencies
How are terminals programmed to provide a common understanding of timeslot boundaries?
A set of coordinated Initialization Data Load (IDL) files
A link margin value of 21dB will force an enemy jammer using equal power to get within how
many miles of a receiving terminal if the transmitting terminal is 60 miles away? 5 miles
or 1/12 the distance
Dedicated Timeslot Reuse is a form of what JTIDS/MIDS access mode? Contention
, Interruptive BIT This BIT is an operator initiated BIT that will stop the terminal from
transmitting and fault-isolate to the first, second, and third most probable SRU.
Operational BIT This BIT is always running in the background while the terminal is on. It
will detect a degradation in the terminal's performance, communication/network degradation, or
terminal failure such as a LRU or SRU fail.
Start-Up BIT Conducted any time the terminal is switched from the OFF or Standby
(STBY) state to the ON state. It is a self-test that will detect general Line Replaceable Unit
(LRU) and Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) failures.
What measurement is used to express the pulse density of all Link 16 transmissions in a 12
second frame? Time Slot Duty Factor (TSDF)
What JTIDS/MIDS protocol dictates that platforms take turns transmitting and receiving data
according to time? Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
What are the two types of JTIDS/MIDS RF connectivity? Direct connectivity and indirect
connectivity
Which category of frequency assignment authorization is good for five years and is entered into
the Government Master File (GMF)? Permanent Frequency Assignments
