(Air Vehicle, GCS/Mission Control, Support Element, Payload, System, Element/Datalinks).
System (COMMS, Data link, Airspace, relay Aircraft), Air Vehicle (AV), Mission Control (GCS), Payload, Support
The best definition of a tactical UAS would be:
A UAS for army troops support at platoon level.
A UAV mainly used for ISR mission at short range
A UAV mainly used for ISR mission at short and medium range.
The payload capacity of a UAS is based on the available:
Weight, volume and power on the AV.
Number of different payloads that can be integrated.
Volume, weight and power both on ground and onboard
The main desirable attributes for a UAS data-link are:
Security, resistance to jamming and resistance to deception.
Range, bandwidth and low signal to noise.
Worldwide Availability of Frequency.
Resistance to Unintentional Interference.
Low Probability of Intercept (LPI).
The operational availability of a UAS is mainly based on:
A state-of-the-art design including robustness.
The mission characteristics.
The design factors of Reliability and Maintainability.
Military RPAs traffic which does not comply with ICAO rules and procedures is termed (choose one):
General Air Traffic.
State aircrafts.
Operational Air traffic.
Under ICAO prospective only a kind of UA (Unmanned Aircraft) is a candidate to be integrated into the civil aviation structure in the foreseeable future (choose one):
The fully autonomous UAVs.
The Short Range UAVs manually controlled under VLOS conditions.
The Small Unmanned Aircrafts (SUAs).
Remotely Piloted Aircrafts (RPAs).
Only one set of the following groups represents pillars of UAS integration into non-segregated airspace (choose one):
Airworthiness, Pilot/Operator qualification, Regulatory Compliance, Technology (C2,S&A), Equipments.
Airworthiness, Technology research and development, and UAS market segmentation
Airworthiness, Governmental funding, and compliance with Operating Standards and Procedures.
Interoperability comes from the need to (choose two):
Integration and sharing competencies and services to fully become a joint force.
Coordination among assets integrating a larger warfighting community (tactical network).
Use Link-16 as tactical network for multiplatform data exchange.
Develop new generation fighters and preserve existing modernized platforms.
Current tendencies in the manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) concept explore (choose one):
The way for manned and unmanned systems to execute a common misión as an integrated team.
The way to command and control unmanned platforms from manned platforms excluding completely the human intervention.
The way to develop Artificial Intelligence Systems.
The way to replace manned platforms by unmanned systems.
Both, DAFIF and ARINC 424 are international standard files that contain information about:
Aeronautical Data
Terrain Model.
Weather forecast.
UAV performances model
Data import & preparation / Airspace information.
ARINC 653 standard defines:
UAS operator console layout.
UAS levels of interoperability.
How to divide SW in a safe way in order to host different DAL level SW in the same HW and operating system
Payload jobs can be planned before mission execution:
Yes, operators cannot command any payload during flight.
No, payload jobs can never be planned due to the unpredictable mission conditions.
No, mission plan does not include payload jobs.
Payload jobs are planned during mission preparation (mission planning) and can be changed and/or commanded during mission execution (mission re-planning)
What are the main STANAG 4671 ground segment related requirements?
STANAG 4671 does not contain any ground segment requirement as it is not airborne equipment.
STANAG 4671 defines Designated UAV Operator (DUO) required skills.
STANAG 4671 (UAV Systems Airworthiness Requirements (USAR)) - Subpart I (UAV CONTROL STATION), 72 requirements in these groups: General, Data displayed in the UAV control station, Controls, Indicators and Warnings, Information, markings and placards, Miscellaneous
Safety, Displays and controls, Human Factors and Recording functions.
Mission commander, flight operator and intelligence analyst are some of the operator roles needed during a mission. During the flight, the operators could:
Take simultaneously different roles depending on their skills.
Take different changeable roles, but only one at a time.
It is acceptable to take more than one role at a time. The roles may change between operators in different flight phases.
Which category of ground segment architecture implicitly requests handover capability?
Portable.
None of them.
Distributed. In portable or mobile architecture, handover capability may be offered, but it is not compulsory.
In a mission plan, the contingency routes ...
Are parts of the payload plan and contain payload events.
Can be activated automatically in case of events like system failures (eg loss of data link).
Can be activated manually by the operator.
Higher altitudes are desirable for:
Better coverage.
Increased survivability.
Line-of-sight operations.
The following elements are part of the System Design Standard:
DS & DBS, RFAs, DOIs, Waivers & PRs.
AWFL & Airworthiness Declaration (ASA).
Which is the logical sequence in the capability acquisition for the sake of future manned- unmanned systems
Interoperable manned-unmanned, cooperative manned-unmanned, integrated manned- unmanned, convertible manned-unmanned (OPVs)
Cooperative manned-unmanned, interoperable manned-unmanned, integrated manned- unmanned, convertible manned-unmanned (OPVs).
Convertible manned-unmanned(OPVs), Interoperable manned-unmanned, Cooperative manned-unmanned, Integrated manned-unmanned.
