    Study Notes

    Generator Start-up Procedure

    • The Dead Crank switch must be in the 'Normal' position before starting the generator.
    • The main purpose of setting the Dead Crank switch to 'Normal' is to ensure the generator starts safely and efficiently.
    • The Dead Crank switch should be set to the 'Normal' position before initiating the generator.
    • The Dead Crank switch is relevant to starting the generator, whereas other switches are not directly related to this process.
    • The 'Normal' position on the Dead Crank switch is significant because it allows the generator to start safely and efficiently.

    Sentinel Radar Operations

    • The "Dead Crank" switch must be set to the "Normal" position before starting the generator.
    • The DAGR and DAGR antenna provide Global Positioning System (GPS) signals required for Sentinel operation.

    IFF Modes

    • The five Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) modes are: 1, 2, 3A, 4, 5.

    Remote Control

    • The RCT can remotely control the Sentinel up to 10 km away using external Ethernet and fiber optic cables.

    Radar Operations

    • The "dead space" above the Sentinel Radar is also known as the "Cone of Silence", a radius not covered by the radar.
    • The Enhanced Sentinel radar can be emplaced in approximately 30 minutes.
    • The pencil beam width of the Enhanced Sentinel Radar is 2x2, with a track radius of 40km.

    Antenna Operations

    • The Bore Sight Telescope Assembly is used to orient the antenna during sensor emplacement if the North Finding System (NFS) is inoperable.
    • The Radar elevation hand-crank is used for erecting and stowing the antenna.

    Target Discrimination

    • Target discrimination is the process of identifying and tracking fixed wing or rotary wing, unknown, designated unknown, or known/friendly (IFF) targets.

    Encryption

    • The KIV-77 component is inserted into the AN/TPX 57 to store Mode 4/5 encryption codes.
    • Up to 31 days of encrypted TEKs and 2 days of unencrypted TEKs can be loaded into the IFF Interrogator (AN/TPX-57).

    Safety and Operations

    • The Sentinel Radar can operate in wind speeds up to 52 MPH with gusts to 75 MPH.
    • The technical manual used to provide the SENTINEL operator with information on the AN/MPQ-64A3 is TM 9-1430-740-10.

    Communication

    • The SINCGARS or ASIPs Radio provides voice communication during movement or operation of the Sentinel, and send-only CONOPS data communication.

    Acronyms and Nomenclature

    • AMDWS: Air and Missile Defense Work Station
    • ASIPs: Advanced SINCGARS Improvement Program Sets
    • CAU: Crew Access Unit
    • CONOPS: Concept of Operations
    • DAGR: Differential GPS and GPS Receiver
    • FAAD: Forward Area Air Defense
    • IFF: Identification Friend or Foe
    • KEK: Key Encryption Key
    • MODE: Military Operations Decoration Enhancement
    • PAM: Power Amplifier Module
    • QEAM: Quick Erect Antenna Mast
    • RCT: Remote Control Terminal
    • RSC: Radar Set Control Panel
    • SINCGARS: Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System
    • TEK: Temporary Encryption Key
