Study Notes
FLAME MK-II Overview
- The FLAME MK-II is a vital component of a missile weapon system, managing missile guidance from launch until impact.
- Pilots maintain target alignment using sight reticle patterns, while the launcher sends correction signals to the missile via wire.
FLAME MK-II Launcher Characteristics
- The learning module is divided into four parts:
- Tasks of the FLAME Launcher
- Major Components and their roles
- Characteristics of the FLAME Launcher
- General Information
Part I: Tasks of FLAME Launcher
- Observes the surrounding area to select and track mobile targets.
- Functions as a missile loading and launching platform.
- Generates and transmits command and correction signals to the missile through a wired connection.
Part II: Main Components of FLAME Launcher
- Key components include:
- Mount 9P - 56M
- Ground Control Equipment (GCE)
- Trigger Mechanism
Mount 9P - 56M
- Subdivided into:
- Tripod
- Pivot Box
- Ramp Assembly
Tripod Features
- Supports the pivot box and is made up of:
- Mount Base: Stabilizes the launcher.
- Legs: Front, rear left, and rear right legs providing structural support.
- Leg Locking Levers: Lock legs into position during combat.
- Notches with Arrow Mark: Aid in leveling the launcher.
