Net Control Station (NCS) Participating Unit (PU) Data Link Reference Point (DLRP) Grid Reference Unit (GRU) LINK 16 - What does everyone sync to? Net time reference Needed in order for TDMA to work 4 things needed for a BMD mission - Missile type (which one are we shooting) - Launch area denied (missile launch sites) - Defended asset (what's being targeted) - Fish eggs (ship's maneuvering area; where you can shoot it down from) 4 pillars of BMD - C4I - Active Defense (shoot it in the air) - Passive Defense (if we miss, get it to hit something else) - Attack Operations (destroy the launcher; prevent them from launching) Draw VA, CIEA, and SA VA Vital Area based on how far the enemy's weapons can reach CIEA Classification, Identification, Engagement Area Up to the commander's decision time (based on our weapons to defend the HVU; we can shoot them and they can't shoot us) SA Surveillance Area Based on radar (SPY-1; APY-9) DATUM us based on? Last known position of an enemy submarine What happens when the FOC crosses the TDZ? The HVU is vulnerable to an attack ADU Air Defense Units ACU Air Control Unit 3 phases of flight of a BM 1) Boost (missile using fuel) 2) Mid-Course 3) Terminal Which course do we prefer to engage a BM? Mid-Course At what point does a missile become ballistic? At main engine cutoff Benefits of BMD Multi-mission capability Flexible geography Limited logistical requirements Search, track, and engage capability TLAM flight path TLAM Acronyms in order - PLP - FPPWP - WP - PML *TARGET* 3 types of TLAM 3C 3D 4E 3C TLAM Fire and forget - Unitary 3D TLAM Bomblets - Fire and forget 4E TLAM Unitary, Reprogrammable, Post-Launch Execution 3 Airborne ASW - MH-60R - P-3C - P-8A MH-60R Sensors ISAR Electronic Support FLIR Sonobuoys ALFS MH-60R Weapons MK-54 (Air-launched torpedo) Hellfire P-3C Sensors ISAR APS 115/137 ALR 66/95 P-3C Weapons AGM-84 Harpoon AGM-84 SLAM ER AGM-65F Maverick Missile MK 46/50/54 Torpedoes P-8A Sensors APY-10 ISAR ALQ-240 MX-20 P-8A Weapons AGM-84 Harpoon MK-46/50/54 Torpedoes DRAWO Demonstration (show force; deterrence) Raid (plan incursion/withdrawal) Assault (boots to ground) Withdrawal (extract marines) Other ops (humanitarian, disaster relief, etc.) PERMA (Operation Catalina Wine Mixer) Planning (plan assault) Embarkation (get marines/supplies) Rehearsal (test plan; adjust) Movement (get to AOA) Action (is DRAWO) 3 types of mining Defensive (mine our waters) Protective (mine allied waters) Offensive (mine their waters) 3 classifications of mines Where it sits What put it there What causes actuation 2 types of MCM Mine sweeping (acoustic, contact, magnetic) Mine hunting What are the 2 geographic area of surface warfare? - Open Ocean - Littoral Waters (lit; high traffic) RADAR controllable factors Gain STC Antenna rotation RADAR uncontrollable factors Rain Geography 4 Ways to monitor comms Guard Cover Copy Listen Guard Listening and ready to transmit Cover Listening BUT might not be ready to transmit; logging everything Copy Listening and keeping logs Listen listen, log required on transmissions to or from your station What are the 2 categories of R/T circuits? Operational or tactical (underway) Administrative (used in port)
