(401) What is the operating frequency of electromagnetic radiation waves?
- A.
3 kilohertz to 30 gigahertz.
- B.
3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz.
- C.
10 kilohertz to 100 gigahertz.
- D.
10 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz.
Correct Answer
B. 3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz.Explanation
Electromagnetic radiation waves have a wide range of frequencies, ranging from very low frequencies to extremely high frequencies. The given answer, 3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz, covers a broad spectrum of frequencies and includes both low and high frequencies. This range encompasses radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, and some portions of the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum. Therefore, it is the correct answer as it accurately represents the operating frequency range of electromagnetic radiation waves.Rate this question:

(401) Which type of radio wave can transmit and receive at the same time?
- A.
Single.
- B.
Pulsed.
- C.
Doppler.
- D.
Continuous.
Correct Answer
D. Continuous.Explanation
Continuous radio waves can transmit and receive at the same time because they are constantly being emitted without interruption. This allows for a continuous flow of information in both directions, making them ideal for two-way communication. In contrast, single, pulsed, and Doppler radio waves do not have the ability to transmit and receive simultaneously. Single radio waves are used for one-way communication, pulsed waves are emitted in short bursts, and Doppler waves are used for measuring velocity and motion. Therefore, the correct answer is continuous.Rate this question:

(401) Which radar design has the ability to use more than one antenna to steer the signal?
- A.
Mechanical.
- B.
Space-based.
- C.
Phased array.
- D.
Ground-based.
Correct Answer
C. Phased array.Explanation
Phased array radar design has the ability to use more than one antenna to steer the signal. Unlike mechanical radar design, which physically moves the antenna to change the direction of the signal, phased array radar uses multiple antennas that can electronically steer the signal beam. This allows for faster and more precise scanning of the radar beam in different directions. Space-based and ground-based radar designs do not necessarily have the capability to use multiple antennas for signal steering.Rate this question:

(401) Which radar design uses the flight path of aircraft and can generate high-resolution remote sensing imagery?
- A.
Mechanical.
- B.
Space-based.
- C.
Ground-based.
- D.
Synthetic aperture radar.
Correct Answer
D. Synthetic aperture radar.Explanation
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a radar design that uses the flight path of aircraft to generate high-resolution remote sensing imagery. Unlike mechanical, space-based, or ground-based radar designs, SAR combines the radar signals collected from multiple positions along the flight path to create a virtual aperture that is much larger than the physical antenna. This allows SAR to achieve high resolution and detailed imagery of the Earth's surface, making it an ideal choice for remote sensing applications.Rate this question:

(401) Which element is an uninteresting target to radar operators, and would be considered interference?
- A.
Houses.
- B.
Churches.
- C.
Meteor trails.
- D.
Orbiting debris.
Correct Answer
C. Meteor trails.Explanation
Meteor trails would be considered an uninteresting target to radar operators and interference because they are temporary and unpredictable. Radar operators are primarily interested in detecting and tracking objects that are more permanent and have a predictable behavior, such as aircraft or spacecraft. Meteor trails, on the other hand, are caused by small particles entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up, leaving behind a trail of ionized gas. These trails are short-lived and can vary in shape and intensity, making them less useful and potentially distracting for radar operators.Rate this question:

(402) Which type of space surveillance sensor is only tasked with collecting space surveillance observations?
- A.
Directed.
- B.
Collateral.
- C.
Dedicated.
- D.
Contributing.
Correct Answer
C. Dedicated.Explanation
A dedicated space surveillance sensor is solely assigned the task of collecting space surveillance observations. It is specifically designed and operated to gather data on objects in space, such as satellites or debris, and monitor their movements and characteristics. Unlike collateral sensors, which may have multiple purposes or functions, a dedicated sensor focuses exclusively on space surveillance. Contributing sensors may also collect space surveillance observations, but they may have additional responsibilities or objectives. Therefore, the correct answer is dedicated.Rate this question:

(402) Which type of space surveillance sensor can provide space surveillance observations, but is not under United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) control?
- A.
Directed.
- B.
Collateral.
- C.
Dedicated.
- D.
Contributing.
Correct Answer
D. Contributing.Explanation
A contributing space surveillance sensor refers to a sensor that can provide space surveillance observations but is not controlled by the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). This means that it is not directly operated or managed by USSTRATCOM, but it still contributes to the overall space surveillance efforts. The other options, directed, collateral, and dedicated, do not accurately describe sensors that are not under USSTRATCOM control.Rate this question:

(402) Which type of radar uses electro-optical and infrared imagery to see through clouds and fog?
- A.
AN/FPS–85.
- B.
Space-based.
- C.
Phased-array.
- D.

(402) Identify the main disadvantage for mechanical radars?
- A.
Beam steering.
- B.
Tracks one object at a time.
- C.
Can track only near-Earth objects.
- D.
Have to move the radar to search for objects.
Correct Answer
B. Tracks one object at a time.Explanation
The main disadvantage of mechanical radars is that they can only track one object at a time. Unlike other types of radars, mechanical radars are limited in their ability to simultaneously track multiple objects. This can be a significant drawback in situations where there are multiple targets or when quick and efficient tracking of multiple objects is required.Rate this question:

- C.
14th visual magnitude star.
- D.
16th visual magnitude star.
Correct Answer
D. 16th visual magnitude star.Explanation
The correct answer is 16th visual magnitude star. The visual magnitude scale is used to measure the brightness of celestial objects, with lower numbers representing brighter objects. A star with a visual magnitude of 16 is very faint and can only be detected by a highly sensitive optical sensor in the night sky. Therefore, an optical sensor can detect objects with a visual magnitude level up to 16.Rate this question:

- A.
Lost uncorrelated target.
- B.
New uncorrelated target.
- C.
Significant uncorrelated target.
- D.
Non-significant uncorrelated target.
Correct Answer
D. Non-significant uncorrelated target.Explanation
The correct answer is "Non-significant uncorrelated target." In radar tracking systems, a "non-significant uncorrelated target" refers to an object that has a radar cross section less than 1 square meter and has been tagged as if the system has never tracked it before. This means that the system has detected an object with a small radar cross section that is not considered significant or important in the context of the tracking system.Rate this question:

(404) Which element is not detectable or easily seen through when Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) is transmitting waveforms to receive echoes?
- A.
Fog.
- B.
Rain.
- C.
Snow.
- D.
Color hues.
Correct Answer
D. Color hues.Explanation
When RADAR is transmitting waveforms to receive echoes, it is able to detect and easily see through fog, rain, and snow. However, color hues are not detectable or easily seen through by RADAR. RADAR works by sending out radio waves and then receiving the echoes that bounce back from objects in its path. These echoes are used to determine the distance, direction, and speed of the objects. While RADAR can penetrate through various atmospheric conditions, it cannot detect or distinguish color hues as it primarily relies on the reflection and absorption of radio waves.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Determine if an L&PI was falsely generated by equipment malfunction, environment, or personnel.Explanation
In a ground-based missile warning site report, a human evaluation is conducted to determine if an L&PI (Launch and Predicted Impact) was falsely generated by equipment malfunction, environment, or personnel. This evaluation aims to identify any false alarms or erroneous information that may have been caused by these factors. It helps ensure the accuracy and reliability of the missile warning system by ruling out any false detections or errors that could potentially lead to unnecessary actions or panic.Rate this question:
