Abstract:

Tests were conducted to evaluate the vulnerabil ity of Radio Intercom ANPRC-43 to intercept, direction finding, and jamming. The ANPRC-43 is a lightweight, medium-power receiver-trans mitter designed to demonstrate single-sideband SSB use in forward aareas of Army operation. Tests determined that the ANPRC-43 presented no unusual problems to intercept and DF, and that it is highly vulnerable to jamming fm jamming signals proved superior to am. and cw signals. During the field tests, the intercept operator was able to fully understand and copy unjammed messages using a conventional am. receiver. Author
