Abstract:

Current and forecasted tactical military operational requirements for satellite communications clearly reflect the need for advanced development models of a standard reliable ultra-high Radiofrequency UHF airborne comm communications set of improved performance and additional features required for global communications, Command and control systems. To achieve this goal with favorable equipment reliability, initial cost, maintenance, weight and volume, a contract was issued to the RCA Corporation for design and development of a UHF CommandSatellite Transceiver, which was subsequently nomenclatured Radio Set ANARC-152V. The objective of the program was to extend the capabilities of the existing Radio Set ANARC-144V, XA-1 to include communications via a satellite as well as direct line-of-sight, and to include increased power output 100 watts FM, 25 watts AM carrier, a narrowband voice FM capability, an external preamp located at the antenna, and satellite modem capability. The Transceiver must be designed for installation in new aircraft and must be capable of retrofit to replace existing UHF AM Voice Radio Sets such as the ANARC-27, ANARC-34, ANARC-51, and ANARC-109.
