Abstract:

The report covers the development and test of a VHF radio beacon system designed for use as a marker of friendly locations from under the dense jungle canopy. In order to minimize the amount of development required, the design factors of the beacon system were made compatible with the ARC-54 aircraft radio equipment and its associated homing equipment.
