    Once free falling over the target area what imparts spin and upward thrust for BLU–108 submunitions?

    • MXU–650 airfoil group.

    • Drogue parachute.

    • Impulse cartridge.

    • Rocket motor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Rocket motor.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is rocket motor. Once free falling over the target area, the BLU-108 submunitions are equipped with a rocket motor that imparts spin and upward thrust. This rocket motor provides the necessary propulsion to ensure that the submunitions are accurately delivered to their intended target. The spin and upward thrust help in stabilizing the submunitions and improving their accuracy during descent, increasing the chances of hitting the target effectively.

    The LUU–2 series aircraft flare produces

    • An off-white light of two-million candlepower.

    • An off-white light of 500,000 candlepower.

    • White light of one-million candlepower.

    • White light of 300,000 candlepower.

    Correct Answer
    A. An off-white light of two-million candlepower.
    Explanation
    The LUU-2 series aircraft flare produces an off-white light of two-million candlepower. This means that the flare emits a strong, bright light with a candlepower measurement of two million. The term "off-white" indicates that the light may have a slightly yellowish or creamy tint, rather than being pure white. The high candlepower value suggests that the flare is very bright and can illuminate a large area.

    The LUU–19 series illumination flare produces

    • Red light.

    • Green light.

    • Visible light.

    • Light in the near-infrared region.

    Correct Answer
    A. Light in the near-infrared region.
    Explanation
    The LUU-19 series illumination flare produces light in the near-infrared region. This means that the flare emits light that is not visible to the naked eye but can be detected by infrared sensors or cameras. Near-infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light and is often used for surveillance, night vision, and other applications where visibility in the dark is required.

    How much gas pressure can a thruster (cartridge-actuated device) produce?

    • 9,000 to 10,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

    • 7,000 to 8,000 (psi).

    • 250 to 6,000 (psi).

    • 1 to 250 (psi).

    Correct Answer
    A. 250 to 6,000 (psi).
    Explanation
    A thruster, specifically a cartridge-actuated device, is capable of producing gas pressure ranging from 250 to 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This range indicates the potential variability in the gas pressure output of a thruster, which can be adjusted depending on the specific requirements of the application or task at hand.
