AMMO Block 6 Exam Questions with
Complete Solutions
Guidance System - Answer-designed to determine direction to target and pick an
interception path
Light Energy - Answer-What tracking energy includes laser and infrared?
Electro Optical - TV - Answer-Uses a camera to guide target
Radar - Answer-uses radar reflected off of target for tracking
GAINS - Answer-Uses GPS satellites
Active - Answer-tracking where weapon sends out tracking energy
Passive - Answer-Target produces tracking energy
Semi-active - Answer-Outside source produces tracking energy
Control System - Answer-Does actual steering for a PGM
Open Loop - Answer-expels fluid/gas after moving control surfaces
Closed Loop - Answer-fluids or gas retained after moving control surfaces
Proportional Navigation - Answer-movement of control surfaces is proportional to
amount of flight path correlation required
Armament System - Answer-Designed to destroy or render target incapable of
performing intended function
Proximity - Answer-type pf detonation where PGM senses closeness of target
Propulsion System - Answer-Provides thrust to propel the PGM to the target
Igniter - Answer-Intiitates ot starts the burning of a rocket motor
Missiles - Answer-What are PGMs with propulsion systems called?
Medium Thrust - Answer-Neutral burning action, gives rocket motor constant amount of
thrust
Dual Thrust - Answer-2 distinct levels of thrust, boost and sustained phase
, High Trust - Answer-great velocity but sacrifices range or distance capabilities
