During an automatic CUED search utilizing the LHG, what will the FCR mode do if the emitter is airborne and the FCR is in the TPM mode?

• A. ATM mode with a narrow field of view scan.
• B. Wide field of view scan.
• C. Auto-tracking to RFI #2.
• D. Scan is paused.

Answer: (A)

During an automatic CUED search with the LHG, the radar prioritizes quick, automatic target acquisition of an airborne emitter. In this situation the FCR switches to Auto Targeting Mode and narrows the field of view. This combination focuses the radar energy into a small sector around the detected cue, providing faster acquisition and a stable track on the airborne target. A wide field of view would slow down lock and invite more clutter, and pausing the scan or auto-tracking to a specific reference isn’t what automatic CUED search requires here.
