Gordon Shumway Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Cool video, great from in cockpit camera shots. I'd rather have the music be rock and roll based, something like 'Right Now' by Van Halen would be good for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Great vid. For the crews who transition from the EA-6B, it must be like going from a mini-van to a Shelby Mustang. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marcinko Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Come on guys, what does MRAD stands for ? I doubt it`s OPSEC Edited December 26, 2016 by marcinko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 88 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Master Radiation probably. We have Master Cautions in the cockpit of the Sierra. Just my 2 cents from a rotor head. Fly Navy Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wdw Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 A quick search on Google shows that MRAD stands for "Milliradian". It all too complicated for me but has to do with range finding measurements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) "Milliradian" is a unit of angular measurement. One milliradian is equal to .05729578 degrees, conversely one degree is equal to 17.4533 milliradians. An application to fighter aircraft could be an input of gun depression angle (deflection). Radiation exposure is measured in units of RAD (Radiation Absorbed Dose), an mRAD would be 1/1000 of a RAD. However, in this case MRAD means the "Master Radiate" function (mode) has been enabled. That's all I have to say about that. Edited January 2, 2017 by habu2 spelling typos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alvis 3.1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 First there was "rad". Then there was "Totally Rad" So this would naturally be Maximum Rad? Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAGeezer Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 MRAD - we used to radiate a certain platoon Sergeant from across the motor pool with the radar on our Vulcans.... He was a d!ck and we were bad...But he WOULD leave! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
