What item, connected to the guidance and control section,
provides the necessary path for the exchange of electronic
signals between the missile and aircraft before missile launch?
The umbilical cable
What section of the sidewinder missile detects the presence of
an air target within the burst range of the missile warhead and
generates an electrical firing signal to the s&a device?
The target detector section (td)
What is the purpose of the s&a device?
,It contains the necessary high explosives, switches, and circuits
to initiate detonation of the warhead
What type of warhead is the wdu-17/b?

What is the difference between the mk 36 mod 8 rocket motor
and the mk 36 mod 7 rocket motor?
The mod 8 motor is equipped with a safe-arm ignition assembly
By what means is the s&a device aligned?
The s&a device contains an interrupted firing train that is aligned
by an acceleration arming device
What warhead is used in the aim-120 amraam missile?
The wdu-33/b fragmenting warhead
What missile is used against fortified ground installations,
armored vehicles, and surface combatants?
The tactical agm-65e maverick missile
What are the two major sections of the agm-65e maverick
missile?
The guidance and control section and the center/aft section
,In what way does the laser guidance system work in the
maverick missile?
It has automatic terminal homing on laser energy reflected from
the target, which has been illuminated by a laser designator
What missile, in conjunction with the launching aircraft's
avionics, detects, identifies, and locates enemy radars, displays
threat information, and computes target parameters?
The agm-88a harm missile
What are the three basic modes in which the harm missile
operates?
Self protect, target of opportunity, and pre-brief
What provides the mechanical and electrical means of
suspending and air-launching a guided missile from an aircraft?
Guided missile launchers
What series of guided missile launchers provides a complete
launching system for use with the aim-9 sidewinder (series)
missile?
The lau-7/a
Which of the following are major assemblies of the lau-7/a
(series) missile launcher?

The housing assembly
What assembly stores the high-pressure nitrogen (3,200 psig)
used to cool the missile's ir detector in the guidance system?
The nitrogen receiver assembly
What is the purpose of the mechanism assembly?
The mechanism assembly is an electromechanical device that
holds the missile for takeoffs and landings and releases the
missile for launching
List the subassemblies of the mechanism assembly.
The electrical harness assembly; the detent, detent lock, detent
lock solenoid, and snubbers; and the nitrogen control valve
What is the function of the nitrogen control valve?
It is a solenoid-operated shutoff valve that controls the flow of
nitrogen from the receiver assembly to the missile
What power supply is used for the lau-7/a (series) launcher?
Power supply pp-2581/a
What mounts to the forward end of the outer housing to provide
an aerodynamic nose to the front of the launcher?
The forward fairing assembly
