ABRIS | ||
---|---|---|
The ABRIS is one of the two navigation systems of the KA-50. It uses a graphical display and is also known as the Advanced Moving Map System. It operates independently of the PVI-800 with the exception of the graphical representation of a PVI-800 navigation target in the ABRIS as a blue square. The basis of the ABRIS positioning is the Russian satellite navigation system, GLONASS. The ABRIS can be used to plan the flight route as well as to display target information from other KA-50 by means of a data link. The viewing direction and the distance in which the Shkval points are also displayed. Further Information: KA-50 Black Shark Basic Course (DCS) / Cockpit Briefing / Cockpit Overview / FP

Continuously Computed Impact Point. This is a calculated visual drop mode with manual weapon release. This mode allows a high degree of flexibility as the point on the ground where the weapon will hit is continuously indicated by a CCIP crosshair on the HUD. It is not necessary to lock the target. Simply put; bring the thing over the thing and drop the bomb. Source: DCS FA-18C Early Access Guide.pdf Additional Information: | ||

Continuously Computed Release Point. This is a calculated visual drop mode with manual or automatic weapon release. This mode allows the bomb to be dropped without loss of height as the point on the ground where the weapon will hit is continuously calculated and the HUD indicates when the weapon must be released. This is done by designating the target. Additional Information: | ||
UFC | ||
---|---|---|
Up Front Controller The Up Front Controller was introduced in the A-10C so that important settings can be made quickly without having to look too far away from the HUD. It is a control unit whose buttons control and input of settings to other cockpit units. For the F/A-18C this concept has been extended so that entries can only be made via the centrally located UFC. | ||

Bullseye | ||
---|---|---|
Das Bullseye ist ein vordefinierter Punkt, der als Referenz für Funkrufe zur Angabe einer Position verwendet wird. Wenn beispielsweise jemand sagt, dass er einen Radarkontakt bei "Bullseye 050 at 30 miles" hat, ist der Radarkontakt 30 Meilen vom Bullseye-Punkt bei einem Kurs von 050 (etwa Nordosten) entfernt. Bully wird verwendet, wenn der Funkverkehr vom Feind abgehört werden kann. Da der Bullseye-Punkt vor dem Flug vereinbart und nicht über Funk angegeben wird, kann der Feind bei Verwendung der Bullseye-Terminologie nicht feststellen, auf welchen Punkt sie sich beziehen. Darüber hinaus trägt die Verwendung von Bullseye-Koordinaten zur Verbesserung des Situationsbewusstseins bei, da es sich um einen absoluten Bezugsrahmen handelt. Wenn AWACS einem anderen Flugzeug mitteilt, dass es bei "3 Uhr, 25 Meilen" feindliche Jäger hat, hat er keine Ahnung, wo sie sich befinden. Wenn man jedoch sagt, dass sich die Jäger bei "Bullseye 120 bei 100 Meilen" befinden, weiß man genau, wo sie sich befinden. Quelle: Falconpedia | ||

BUCS | ||
---|---|---|
(AH-64D Apache) Back-Up Control System Normally, the pilot and CPG flight controls are mechanically linked. The mechanical linkages are protected by shear pins and mis-track sensors to prevent a control jam or severance from affecting both sets of flight controls. If the flight controls are decoupled by the shear pin, or a mis-track is otherwise sensed, the Back-Up Control System is automatically activated. The BUCS is a single-channel, four-axis, non-redundant electric fly-by-wire (FBW) system. The FBW system is designed to replicate the feel of the hydromechanical controls but does not replicate SCAS functionality. BUCS can only be active for the pilot or the CPG station. Either the pilot or the CPG can transfer BUCS control to their station if necessary, depending on the nature and location of the jam or severance within the flight controls. | ||
ECU | ||

(AH-64D Apache) Electronic Control Unit Detects overspeed and overcurrent anomalies, as well as abnormal oil pressure. The ECU will automatically shut down the APU when an anomaly is detected. The ECU also controls the power takeoff (PTO) clutch engagement to the accessory section of the main transmission. | ||
IPAS | ||
---|---|---|
(AH-64D Apache) Integrated Pressurized Air System The IPAS provides pressurized air to aircraft pneumatic systems. Bleed air is drawn from two ports: a high-pressure port is exclusively used to pressurize the hydraulic systems, and a low-pressure port is used by all other consumers. Low-pressure air is used by the engine air turbine starters, fuel boost and transfer pumps, anti-ice system, ice detection probe, nitrogen inerting unit, vapor cycle cooling system, and environmental control system. IPAS bleed air can be provided by one or both engines, the APU, or an external source such as an AGPU. | ||
