4.34B.1 Radar Countermeasures Set Control Pan-
el.
Control of the radar jammer is provided by the
RDRCM (radar countermeasures) part of the IRCM/
RDRCM control panel (fig 4-20) located on the right side
of the pilot instrument panel. The control panel receives
28 vdc from the No. 2 essential dc bus through the PEN
AIDS CONTR circuit breaker on the pilot overhead circuit
breaker panel. When the control switch is set to STBY, the
receiver/transmitter is placed in the warm-up mode (3
minute time period) and the RDR JAM segment on the pi-
lot caution/warning panel will illuminate if it senses a fail-
ure. When the control switch is set to ON, the radar jam-
mer automatically provides jamming power to the transmit
antenna upon receipt of threat radar energy at the receive
antenna. Setting the control switch to OFF removes pow-
er to the radar jammer and the RDR JAM caution/warning
light is extinguished.
4.35 COUNTERMEASURES CONTROL PANELS.
The countermeasures control panels (fig 4-20), located on
the right side of the pilot instrument panel, consist of the
radar/infrared countermeasures panel, the chaff dispens-
er panel and the radar signal detector control panel. The
flare panel is not used.
4.36 DISPENSER KIT M-130.
The general purpose dispenser M-130 (fig 4-20) consists
of a dispenser control panel located on the right of the pilot
instrument panel (fig 2-9), a dispenser assembly, a pay-
load module assembly, and an electronic module to dis-
pense M-1 Chaff. It provides effective survival counter-
measures against radar guided weapons systems. The
dispenser subsystem has the capability of dispensing 30
chaff cartridges. The dispenser subsystem receives 28
vdc from the Emergency dc Bus through the CHAFF cir-
cuit breaker on the pilot overhead circuit breaker panel.
The dispenser subsystem is not monitored by FD/LS. The
function of each control/indicator is described in table
4-21.
