USABO SEMI COMPLETE SET STUDY
GUIDE WITH ANSWERS
◉ Light Energy
Answer: What tracking energy includes laser and infrared?
◉ Electro Optical - TV
Answer: Uses a camera to guide target
◉ Radar
Answer: uses radar reflected off of target for tracking
◉ GAINS
Answer: Uses GPS satellites
◉ Active
Answer: tracking where weapon sends out tracking energy
◉ Passive
Answer: Target produces tracking energy
◉ Semi-active
Answer: Outside source produces tracking energy
,◉ Control System
Answer: Does actual steering for a PGM
◉ Open Loop
Answer: expels fluid/gas after moving control surfaces
◉ Closed Loop
Answer: fluids or gas retained after moving control surfaces
◉ Proportional Navigation
Answer: movement of control surfaces is proportional to amount
of flight path correlation required
◉ Armament System
Answer: Designed to destroy or render target incapable of
performing intended function
◉ Proximity
Answer: type pf detonation where PGM senses closeness of target
◉ Propulsion System
Answer: Provides thrust to propel the PGM to the target
, ◉ Igniter
Answer: Intiitates ot starts the burning of a rocket motor
◉ Missiles
Answer: What are PGMs with propulsion systems called?
◉ Medium Thrust
Answer: Neutral burning action, gives rocket motor constant
amount of thrust
◉ Dual Thrust
Answer: 2 distinct levels of thrust, boost and sustained phase
◉ High Trust
Answer: great velocity but sacrifices range or distance capabilities
