d. Stinger round - Location:

Once target information is obtained and the "Gunner" executes the proper missile procedures, the stinger round is launched. To constitute a “direct hit”, the missile must intercept and destroy the aircraft. One second prior to interception, the missile will fly forward of the aircraft then target the fuselage (tracking the aircraft nose) or fly behind the aircraft then target the fuselage (tracking the aircraft plume). This is known as Target Adaptive Guidance. Two types of TAG are: NUV TAG (Negative Ultraviolet Target Adaptive Guidance); IR TAG (Infrared Radiation Target Adaptive Guidance)

- Location:

Maximum range of 6,000 yards at a 45° angle (with the wind). Round can be electronically fired at 30V, but the CIWS system uses 300V to make sure the round will fire. Uses a 20-mm Depleted Uranium (orange or black tip) sabot or Tungsten (white) sabot.

201.4 SYSTEM INTERFACE

201.4.1 How does AW interface with the following:

a. Advanced Combat Direction System (ACDS) - Tracks air targets. Assigns tracks to SDWC console from the SWC Operator and provides engagement orders for NSSMS or RAM

b. Combat Information Center (CIC) - Physically divided into sections and modules. Three sections or primary interest are detection and tracking, display and decision, and weapons control. The detection and tracking section receives AW information from ship’s sensors and other units (i.e. ships, plane, etc...). Watchstanders analyze and update this information and communicate it to the display and decision section. Command personnel (CO, TAO, and SWC) in the display and decision section assimilate and evaluate the AW information, respond to orders from tactical commanders, and issue orders to weapons control stations. Weapons control personnel respond to orders and use appropriate weapons systems to destroy designated air threats. Weapons control is implemented through consoles and equipment specifically designed to control missiles, guns, chaff, ESM, and airborne intercepts. 201.4.1 How does AW interface with the following:

c. Rules of Engagement (ROE) - The means by which the National Command Authorities and the US military chain-of-command authorize and delineate the circumstances and limitations under which subordinate commanders and individual units can initiate and continue combat engagements against enemy forces.

Peacetime ROE provide the authority for and limitations on actions taken during peacetime (and periods short of prolonged armed conflicts) to defend and protect US forces, the nation, it’s citizens, and national assets worldwide. Wartime ROE, on the other hand, reaffirm the right and responsibility of the operational commander to seek out, engage, and destroy enemy forces in ways consistent with national objectives, national strategy, and laws of armed conflict.

Battle Group commanders must also ensure systems used for command, control, and communications are adequate to reliably provide the degree of control required by the ROE. This requirement is particularly important during peacetime situations of unusual sensitivity in which national interests demand exceptionally tight control over firing decisions and retention of centralized control at high levels of command.

If the tactical situations and ROE do not allow effective AW without the serious risk to the safety of friendly units, the Air Warfare Commander (WC) informs the next higher level of tactical command and indicates the relaxation/changes in ROE required to reduce the risk

d. Emissions Control (EMCON) - A means of selectively managing electromagnetic, acoustic, and other emissions to minimize detection by enemy sensors, provide effective command and control, support OPSEC, execute MILDEC, and minimize interference among friendly systems. Different EMCON conditions: A - Silent (no modifications) A1 - Navigation and aircraft safety B - Satellite vulnerability (ELINT IV SAT.) B1 - SATVUL (ELINT III SAT.) C - Protection of mission essential unit (MEU). No sensors and radars within 50 NM of MEU D - Essential emissions

e. Combat Systems Operational Sequencing Systems (CSOSS) - During AW operations, CSOSS is the primary means of restoring casualties to any system required for the Detect-to-Engage sequence. Provides casualty modes for all systems if the primary system can not be restored.

201.5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

201.5.1 What safety precautions must be observed when loading and operating the following systems:
