How will CMWS HFI display an RPG?

• A. As a text alert in the cockpit
• B. As a color-coded bubble on the map
• C. As a symbol on the CMWS HFI display
• D. Not displayed

Answer: (C)

CMWS HFI communicates threats by showing a symbol on the display. When an RPG is detected, the system places a specific icon on the CMWS HFI screen at the appropriate bearing (and relative location) to give the crew immediate, glanceable awareness. This graphical representation lets pilots and crew quickly assess the threat without having to read text alerts or interpret separate map overlays, reducing cognitive load during high-workload moments. The other display formats (text alerts or map bubbles) would slow recognition or separate the threat from the cockpit’s primary view, so a direct symbol on the HFI is the most efficient way to convey the RPG threat.
