I. MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the letter of the best answer and write it on the space provided. CAPITAL LETTERS ONLY. (1 pt. each)

_____1. This refers to the cost of initial procurement plus the costs of operating it.
A. Maintenance cost C. Operating cost
B. Life-cycle cost D. Acquisition cost
_____2. Which among the statements is true?
A. The infrared method seems currently to have been abandoned, principally because of atmospheric absorption limiting the
range and reducing reliability.
B. The majority of UAVs are required to carry only sensor payloads rather than heavy payloads of armament, passengers or
freight.
C. A scale factor of 10 means that the linear dimensions of the actual aircraft is 10 times smaller than the model aircraft.
D. The lens antenna and the phased array rectangular microstrip or patch antenna are the most common types of antennas.
_____3. A dipole antenna is under which category of antennas in regards to polarization?
A. Linear C. Parabolic
B. Circular D. A or B
_____4. VHF bands as designated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has a frequency range of?
A. 3-30MHz C. 300-3,000MHz
B. 30-300MHz D. 3-30GHz
_____5. The UAV status data is also known as:
A. Information data C. Parametric data
B. Monitored data D. Housekeeping data
_____6. Care must be taken when extending the scaling laws to such low masses since they can:
A. Form a discontinuity in the laws as they may use quite different technologies or configurations from mainstream aircraft.
B. Be extremely affected by possible wind changes during flight.
C. Easily break as they differ in structure compared to their actual-sized counterparts.
D. Lead to an incredible difference in their Froude numbers which will affect their flight performance.
_____7. This refers to transmitting command and control from the operators to the UAV (or UAVs in multiple operations).
A. Up-load C. Up-link
B. Down-load D. Down-link
_____8. In Froude scaling, we assume that the full-scale aircraft:
A. Operates in the same air density as the model.
B. Operates in the same wind conditions as the model.
C. Operates in the same gravitational field strength as the model.
D. A & C are correct
_____9. This communication medium might be appropriate for detection and measurement of nuclear, biological or chemical (NBC)
contamination on a battlefield ahead of an infantry attack.
A. By laser C. By radio
B. By infrared D. By fiber-optics
_____10. Which is not a type of antenna to be adopted by UAS?
A. Yagi-Uda C. Quarter wave
B. Parabolic dish D. Ground plane
_____11. For a scale factor of 10, a model aircraft represents an actual aircraft having:
A. 1,000 times its volume C. 100 times its width
B. 1/100 times its area D. 1/1,000 times its area
_____12. Which among the statements is not true?
A. Loss of communication during operations may result from intentional or inadvertent jamming of the signals.
B. Manned aircraft are required to carry an avionic system known as the Traffic Avoidance and Collision Alert System (TCAS)
if the gross mass of the aircraft exceeds 5,700 kg or it is authorized to carry more than 19 passengers.
C. There is concern that military UAS are currently consuming large amounts of communication bandwidth. To ensure safety
from inadvertent interference, there is an urgent need for a dedicated communications band for civilian UAS.

_____13. Most FPV drone pilots use what type of antenna polarization?
A. Linear C. Parabolic
B. Circular D. A & B

ranges below HF.
A. ITU C. NATO
B. IEEE D. EU
_____15. In general, it is possible to determine the effect that differences of scale can have in the design of UAV aircraft. This can be
done through the use of the principles of:
A. Dimensional analysis C. Froude scaling
B. Scale factoring D. Scale effects
