Slide 22 -

M130 System in use

Slide 23 -

Preflight? SAFETY PIN Visual inspection for loose fasteners, mounting bolts and electrical connections. Ensure that the number of flares in the payload module corresponds to the number of flares shown in the DCP counter Confirm chaff-flare selector switch in the dispenser assembly is set to Chaff.

Slide 24 -

CHAFF PROGRAM SELECTION Confirm chaff program is set to 1-1-4-2 These settings are standard and apply to all radar threats

Slide 25 -

“Before Taxi” safety pin is removed Aircraft commander is responsible for arming system after takeoff MAN-PRGM switch is MAN Then go to ARM MAN-PRGM switch to PRGM

Slide 26 -

How do I employ it? Pilot depresses chaff firing switch, cannot be programmed to automatically fire. Radar weapon system Tracks or when missile launch is detected on AN/APR39A(V)1

Slide 27 -

NOTE: MUST be in the PRGM position to fire the selected chaff program. Execute evasive maneuver (mask)

Slide 28 -

Landing Before Landing Check Mission equipment SAFE Reinstall safety pin during “parking and shutdown, step 8”

Slide 29 -

AN/APX-100(V)1 MARK VII IFF. Provides automatic radar identification 5 MODES of operation

Slide 30 -

MARK XII CAPABILITIES Returns a coded reply to (SIF) using modes 1, 2, 3/A and C and provides Mode 4 identification friend or foe (IFF). Mode 4 is secure mode of identification. SIF Modes 1 and 2 used by military. Modes 3/A and C used by civilian and military ATC.

What do I look for on preflight? Loaded KIT-1C Starting procedures

Slide 33 -

TRANSPONDER CHARACTERISTICS The investigation into the F-15 shootdown or Army Blackhawk helicopters determined design characteristics which could present HAZARDOUS OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS. Associated with the use of the AUDIO/LIGHT/OUT SWITCH ANTENNA SELECT SWITCH

Slide 34 -

AUDIO/OUT/LIGHT SWITCH Controls the ALERT INDICATORS for MODE 4 OPERATIONS. AUDIO POSITION enables AUDIO TONE and REPLY LIGHT COMPATIBLE CODES. A Green reply light indicates Friendly IFF response VALID CODES. A Non Response will be indicated by a 400 Hz Tone

Slide 35 -

APX-100

Slide 36 -

MODE FUNCTION (STANDBY POSITION) Only when COMPATIBLE CODES are used by the interrogator. IFF CAUTION LIGHT illuminates

Slide 37 -

AUDIO SWITCH (OUT POSITION) Disables Mode 4 REPLY LIGHT Mode 4 AUDIO TONE PRESS-TO-TEST Mode 4 REPLY LIGHT IFF CAUTION LIGHT

Slide 38 -

AUDIO SWITCH (LIGHT POSITION) Mode 4 REPLY LIGHT enabled MODE 4 AUDIO tone is disabled IFF RESPONSE. The green REPLY LIGHT will illuminate to indicate IFF was given NON RESPONSE to IFF will not be indicated by the 400 Hz AUDIO TONE

Slide 39 -

NOTE: PLACE THE AUDIO/LIGHT/OUT SWITCH IN THE AUDIO POSITION DURING FLIGHT OPERATIONS. DO NOT USE THE OUT POSITION

Slide 40 -

ANTENNA SELECT SWITCH (TOP, BOT, & DIV) TOP - The transponder will respond to interrogations from that antenna BOTTOM (BOT) - Responses allowed from the bottom antenna DIVERSITY (DIV) - The transponder will respond through the antenna receiving the STRONGEST SIGNAL

Slide 41 -

APX-100

Slide 42 -

DIV POSITION Place the TOP/BOT/DIV switch in the DIV position during flight operations. Do not use the TOP or BOT position. This does not preclude using the TOP or BOT switch position for ground-based system checks.

Slide 43 -

APX-100

Slide 44 -

MODE 4 ON/OUT SWITCH MODE 4 ON/OUT SWITCH IN THE OUT POSTION ALL AUDIO AND VISUAL INDICATIONS CEASE ( IN COCKPIT & IFF RESPONSES) IFF CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH THE FREQUENCY OF “COMPATIBLE” INTERROGATIONS.

Slide 45 -

MODE 4 IFF Normal, ON & Audio position Reply light IFF response COMPATABLE NO RESPONSE VALID 400 Hz tone

Slide 46 -

Formation Flight Only one aircraft in a formation should have the transponder on two or more aircraft operating in close proximity of one another in NORMAL ON may simultaneous attempt to respond to interrogations. The two transmitters may overkey one another, destroying the encrypted coded 3-pulse reply, this is called TONE BLANKING. The aircrew will not beware of this condition because the non-response 400 Hz tone will not be heard

Slide 47 -

IFF CAUTION Unkeyed, (lose the key) Kit-1C malfunction (KIT LT) RCVR/XMTR low power, -flicker- STBY * (compatible codes only), -flicker-

Slide 48 -

AN/ ALQ-144A (V)1 an active, continuously operating omnidirectional, IR jammer system for helicopters, designed to confuse or decoy threat IR missile systems.

Slide 49 -

What does it do for me? The AN/ALQ-144A(V) is designed to provide jamming of all known threat IR missile systems, and it must be operated on an aircraft equipped with low reflective paint and engine exhaust suppressers

Slide 50 -

What do I look for on preflight? External Structure Covert Windows Connectors Air Inlet

Slide 51 -

preflight Protective cover BIT indicators Access Doors- Jam program assigned by EWO Cleanliness

Slide 53 -

How do I employ it? CAUTION Transmitter should run for at least 15 minutes unless an IRCM INOP caution light illuminates, allows bearings to seat & to heat to maximum temperature

Slide 54 -

AN/ ALQ-144A (V)1 INOP light comes on during flight turn off ALQ-144A(V)1 for 1 minute, (on some aircraft after INOP light goes out, turn off the on) Light comes on again turn off for remainder of flight Shutdown- “IRCM INOP” for 60 second cool down then turn off power

Slide 55 -

TSEC/KY58 Used with FM1, FM2 and UHF-AM Radios to provide secure two-way voice communication

Slide 56 -

TSEC/KY58 Located next to the the control head of the radio for which it is used

Slide 57 -

TSEC/KY58 The POWER switch must be in the ON position regardless of the mode of operation, whenever the equipment is installed.

Slide 58 -

KY-58 Clear Voice Procedures POWER switch - ON PLAIN, CRAD switch - PLAIN

Slide 59 -

KY-58 Secure Voice Procedures To talk in secure voice the KY-58 must be loaded with any number of desired variables

Slide 60 -

KY-58 Secure Voice Procedures MODE switch - OP FILL switch - Set (1-6) ROWER switch - ON PLAIN, C/RAD switch - C/RAD1 (continued)

Slide 61 -

KY-58 Secure Voice Procedures DELAY switch - DOWN unless the signal is to be retransmitted (note: at this time a crypto alarm and background noise in the aircraft audio intercom system should be heard) To clear alarm PTT (push to transmitt) - Press and Release

Slide 62 -

KY-58 Secure Voice Procedures Important to become familiar with certain KY-58 audio tones tones for normal operation tones for abnormal operations

Slide 63 -

KY-58 Secure Voice Procedures Tones for normal operations Continuous Beeping with background noise (the background noise must be heard) occurs when power is first applied occurs when KY-58 is Zeroized Single Beep w/o background wait to talk your turn to talk the cryptovariable is correct

Slide 64 -

KY58 Zeroing Procedures Abnormal Tones Continuous Tone - could mean any one of several malfunctions Single Beep followed by a burst of noise - means you are on a different variable

Slide 65 -

KY58 Zeroing Procedures POWER switch - ON Spring-loaded ZEROIZE switch - Activate and Release This will zeroize all positions (1-6) and secure voice communications are no longer possible
