Study Notes
Caution Definition
- A caution refers to actions or practices that may harm equipment if not closely followed.
DDL Transceiver Module
- The DDL transceiver module for CONUS use operates from 1625 to 1725 MHz.
AV Dimensions
- The length from the AV nose to the stabilator is 36 inches.
GCS Battery Charge Time
- It typically takes 90 minutes to charge a GCS battery.
AV In-Flight Duration
- The rechargeable AV can fly for approximately 60-90 minutes.
Navigation Terminology
- "Dead reckoning" is a navigation method based on time, distance, and heading.
Crosswind Compensation
- The AV compensates for crosswind by crabbing, or positioning the nose into the wind.
Mean Sea Level (MSL)
- MSL indicates altitude above sea level.
Magnetic Heading
- Magnetic heading is the direction the AV's nose is pointing.
GPS Fix Indicator
- A good GPS fix is indicated by a reading of 4 or more satellites.
Flight Modes of Raven System
- Available flight modes include Manual, Altitude, Home, Loiter, and Navigation.
Components of Raven B Air Vehicle
- The Raven B air vehicle consists of 8 components.
Pre-Flight Checklist
- The final pre-flight step is to start the recorder.
Stabilator Operation Check
- Ensure the stabilator is functioning by moving the joystick back and forth and observing deflection.
Autoland Altitude
- The recommended altitude for executing "autoland" is between 75-100 feet.
AV Wind Alignment
- The AV does not automatically align into the wind during outland or LOL.
Post-Flight Checklist
- The last step in the post-flight checklist is to check the locator.
SAASM Explanation
- SAASM stands for Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module.
Plotting Coordinates Acronym
- The acronym for plotting coordinates on a map is REUP.
DTED Transfer Area
- Transferring DTED data from FalconView to the GCS hub covers a terrain area of 50 km x 50 km (2500 sq km).
DTED Definition
- DTED stands for Digital Terrain Elevation Data.
RSTA Kit Functionality
- The RSTA kit laptop can replace the Mission Operator Hand Controller in the GCS system.
Mission Video Recording
- The MO can observe and record mission video using the AV screener DDL "live" software from the RSTA kit.
Image Capture File Types
- Images captured using the VO hand controller are saved as NITF image files.
Image File Processing Location
- NITF and JPG image files are processed in the folder C:/RPUAV_Logs on the RSTA kit laptop.
OPORD Format
- The correct OPORD format includes: Situation, Mission, Concept of Operation, Service and Support, and Command and Signal.
GCS Separation in Flight
- Recommended separation distance when flying multiple SUAS is 250 meters.
SUAS Proximity Operations
- AVs should not be flown within 175 meters of another AV’s GCS during close proximity operations.
Airspace Document in Theater
- The air tasking order (ATO) provides information on projected sorties, capabilities, forces, call signs, and targets.
Airspace De-Conflict Types
- The three main types of separation to de-conflict airspace are vertical, lateral, and time.
SUAS Mission Coordination Document
- Coordination for SUAS missions begins by filling out the Airspace Mission Request Form (ACMREQ).
Immediate SUAS Mission Request Lines
- There are 7 lines in an immediate SUAS airspace mission request.
Minimum GCS Hardware for SUAS Simulator
