FCR Target Symbols and Display

FCR Target Symbols

• Up to 16 FCR target symbols are displayed on the FCR page for a given scan.
• Symbols represent the highest priority targets detected and classified for that scan.
• Symbols are displayed in yellow by type target, type of anticipated RF missile launch (LOAL or LOBL), and a condition of moving or stationary.

Target Symbols Display

• Moving target symbols become stale after 5 seconds.
• Stationary target symbols become stale after 30 seconds.
• Low priority targets are displayed in partial intensity yellow on the TSD page as a half-size icon.

FCR Priority Schemes

• Three priority schemes are used by the FCR (options A, B, and C).
• Priority scheme A emphasizes airborne and stationary ground targets.
• Priority scheme B emphasizes stationary ground targets.
• Priority scheme C emphasizes airborne and moving ground targets.

FCR Target Data

• FCR target data is prioritized by the FCR and used to direct the selected weapon against targets and to enhance situational awareness.
• The aircraft is capable of displaying up to 256 FCR target icons on the TSD page.

Sensor Selection

• The FOV should be either Narrow or Zoom when designating a target.
• Narrow and Zoom are the only FOVs that are boresighted.

LRFD

• The LRFD has a maximum value of 9999m.
• The asterisk is present when the laser is firing and the WP (MP for AH-64E) is receiving valid range data from the laser rangefinder/designator.

FCR Operations

• The FCR will provide reliable data while maneuvering up to 20° in roll and +20° to -15° in pitch.
• Flight outside these parameters may result in degraded FCR performance.

FCR Modes

• The FCR is employed in three of the four available modes to perform targeting.
• Ground targeting is accomplished using GTM and RMAP.
• Air targeting is accomplished by using ATM.

RFI Symbols

• RFI symbols representing RFI detected emitters are displayed on the periphery of the radar scan sector to indicate the direction to the detected threat.
• Up to 10 RFI symbols can be displayed.
• RFI symbols are displayed in full intensity during the period when the RFI emitters are emitting plus 30 seconds after emitters cease transmissions.

CUED Search Button

• The CUED search button is used to quickly orient the FCR to a RFI detected radar emitter to conduct a scan.
• Selecting the cued search button is a quick way to mode, point, size, and initiate the FCR for a scan.

Display of Targets

• The PSP sends the target data to the display processor to display information on the FCR page, TSD, and HDU if C-SCP is selected.
• Display locations and quantities are:
  • TSD: NAV phase – Up to 16 prioritized targets
  • TSD: ATK phase – Up to 256 targets
  • FCR Page: Up to 16 prioritized targets
  • HDU: If C-SCP is selected, up to 16 prioritized targets
