Question

During PAC3 Emplacement, when CM1 energizes the ELES, while at the ELES launcher control unit, CM1 performs the following EXCEPT?

Answer 1

During PAC3 Emplacement, CM1 performs several tasks at the ELES launcher control unit, but they do not physically load the missile onto the launcher.

Step-by-step explanation:

During PAC3 Emplacement, when CM1 energizes the ELES, they perform several tasks at the ELES launcher control unit. One of the tasks is to ensure the correct alignment of the launcher and the missile using technical instruments. Another task is to verify the communication between the launcher and the ELES controller. Additionally, CM1 may need to input launch parameters and conduct pre-launch tests.

However, one thing that CM1 does not do during PAC3 Emplacement while at the ELES launcher control unit is physically load the missile onto the launcher. This task is typically handled by another crew member.
