TERMINUS-LV EOD Procedures (Neros Archer Strike Version)

These flashcards cover the critical aspects of the TERMINUS-LV EOD procedures, focusing on safe handling, key components of the ordnance, and important operational protocols.

What is the purpose of the TERMINUS-LV EOD procedures document?

To outline procedures for safe handling, transportation, operation, and disposal of TERMINUS-LV ordnance integrated onto the Neros Archer Strike drone.

What are the three primary components included under the ordnance description of the Neros Archer Strike drone?

TERMINUS-LV ESAD, Tungsten Directional Fragmentation Warhead, and Copper Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP) Warhead.

What does the acronym ESAD stand for in the context of the TERMINUS-LV?

Explosive Safe Arm Device.

What safety feature does the TERMINUS-LV ESAD include for triggering?

A high reliability safe separation timer with selectable increments of 30, 60, or 90 seconds.

What explosives are used in both the Tungsten Fragmentation and Copper EFP warheads?

Composition C-4.

What are the two initiation methods mentioned for the Tungsten Fragmentation warheads?

M-6 Blasting Cap or commercial equivalent.

What must be done before priming the warhead?

Connect the drone battery to the main power cable and verify ESAD Detonator Status LEDs during the Built-In Test.

What should an operator do if the ESAD SAFE LED does not illuminate?

DO NOT PROCEED with priming the warhead.

What is required to arm the system after the Safe Separation Timer (SST) has elapsed?

The HUD status should display 'ENABLED' and the ARM toggle must be activated.

What warning is associated with lithium-ion batteries during operations?

They may become unstable during operation or crash, requiring immediate evacuation if signs of battery fire are present.

What does EFP stand for in the Copper warhead component?

Explosively Formed Projectile.

What are the selectable time increments for the TERMINUS-LV ESAD's safe separation timer?

30, 60, or 90 seconds.

What is an alternative to the M-6 Blasting Cap for initiating Tungsten Fragmentation warheads?

Commercial equivalent.

What specific LEDs should be verified during the Built-In Test before priming the warhead?

ESAD Detonator Status LEDs.

What power source must be connected to the main power cable before priming the warhead?

The drone battery.

What HUD status is required to arm the system after the Safe Separation Timer has elapsed?

'ENABLED'.

Besides the HUD status, what else must be activated to arm the system after the SST has elapsed?

The ARM toggle.

What action is required if signs of a lithium-ion battery fire are present?

Immediate evacuation.

Under what conditions might lithium-ion batteries become unstable?

During operation or crash.
