[. . . ] Click ENABLE to enable Range Rings on the scope if desired. Click the desired number at the RANGE RINGS switch to set the range rings to that display on the Scope. 5. Contacts appear as small dots on the scope. If close to shore, contacts may get lost in the ground clutter. Click on a contact to center the circle portion of the Bearing-Range Cursor over the contact or click and drag the cursor to center it. Be aware that the user cannot move the cursor when the Autocrew is ON. The bearing and range at the location of the cursor appear as a readout in the CURSOR thumb-wheels in the lower right of the console. Section 9: P-3C Orion Stations 9-14 6. The contact appears on the Nav Map at the detected range and bearing. P-3C MAD/ESM STATION [F4] This station is used for passive detection of submerged submarines with MAD/SAD detectors. The Electronic Support Measures (ESM) scope allows passive detection, marking and classification of surface and air contacts. MAD/SAD Large metal objects like ships and in particular, submarines create disturbances in the earth's magnetic field and these disturbances or anomalies, can be detected from above. The data from the P-3's Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) and Submarine Anomaly Detector (SAD) appear on a plot located on the right side of the MAD/ESM Console. Distortions detected by these sensors provide a strong indication that a submarine is in the area. The MAD/SAD plot on the right side of the MAD/ESM Console provides information only. Click ON next to the POWER switch below the MAD/SAD plot. When the MAD/SAD Plot is activated, the pens draw down the centerline when no anomalies or submarines are detected. When the pens draw away from the centerline this is an indication that something is in the vicinity. A large deviation from the centerline indicates a strong signal. The strength of the signal is determined by range and size of the target. The Notify Button is lit and a verbal crew report is issued when detections occur. The contact is automatically marked and appears on the Nav Map. The sensor also detects and marks surface ships in the immediate area. Using MAD/SAD Effectively The MAD sensor has an effective range of about 1000 yds. At altitudes above 1000 ft the sensor does not detect anything. At an altitude of 500 feet, the sensor detects underwater contacts in the 500 feet directly beneath the plane. [. . . ] submarines is measured and ordered in feet. Depth on the Russian and Chinese submarines is measured and ordered in meters. Note: Traveling at speeds in excess of those listed following a mast depth will break the indicated mast unless the sail is out of the water.
