This document summarizes the steps involved in modern mark-50 fuse disintegration, including scanning the sky with radar or manually, maintaining continuous contact with a control station, spotting and informing the control station of any targets, and executing a pre-attack procedure before making a decision to execute. It provides an overview of how radars, control stations, and launchers work together, and describes the pre-attack procedure, communication pathways, and general signal processing steps.

3. Steps of Operation:
1. Scanning of sky with Radar or manual plane.
2.Continuous contact with control station.
3.Target is spotted and CS is informed.
4.Pre-attack procedure.
5.Decision execution

4. Overall view: Radar, CS and Launcher.

5. Overview of RADARs
Radars are types of Sensors used for the
patrolling of one’s proximity . This idea has been
further extended to the Modern day SDRS and
then the possible future “Macro SDRS”.

9. Receiver Section
Block diagram of Super Heterodyne Receiver
Mixing of two different frequencies to form a
different
new
frequency is called
“Heterodyning”

10. Pre-attack procedure:
• Detection of ‘Host frequency’ and ‘foe
frequency’.
• Communication with Control Station.
• Warning to ‘foe frequency’, if detected.
• Launchers are provided with suitable
information and are in synchronization with
CS and Radar unit.

11. All the steps will be clarified in this video:
 Multiple Launch Rocket System(MLRS)
developed in Russia is shown.
Note that only the animation of Anti tank
(missile) is shown, but its successive stages
work only after communication with C.S

12. Points to be noted:
• All the wireless comm. made is same as that
of satellite/mobile comm.
• Linking of two or more Control Stations(C.S) is
made through OFC due to its large bandwidth
and efficiency.
• As OFCs are laid underground, they are
protected against damage due to attacks.
