I had a lot of interesting times in the Army. Got to play with some Real Man toys –
The TACJAM:
The AN/MLQ-34 “TACJAM” was a tactical radio jamming system, formerly used in the Military Intelligence battalions of some of the “heavier” divisions of the U. S. Army, such as the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea, where I served for 2½ years.
Much of my time in Korea was spent on, in, under, and with the TACJAM.
The TACJAM has, to the best of my knowledge, been replaced in frontline service.
It’s a big sucker. The carrier vehicle is the M1015, an upgraded version of the venerable M548. Mounted in/on the cargo bed is a large generator to power the electrical equipment shelter in which the crew operates. Add a huge dang telescoping-mast-mounted Logarithmic Periodic Antenna, and you have some serious radio power.
AN/MLQ-34 on display at (I believe) Tobyhanna Army Depot:
The AN/TRQ-32(v):
The “Turkey 32” is a truck-mounted radio direction-finding system. Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was mounted on the back of a CUCV (basically, a mil-spec Chevy pickup with a power take-off bolted to the transmission.) Nowadays, of course, it goes on a Humvee. The very efficient air conditioner mounted on the electrical equipment shelter made this a good vehicle to be near in hot weather – good place to keep the |
The AN/PRD-11:
The PRD was a man-portable radio direction-finding system (well, more like 3- or 4-man portable system) used by Low-Level Voice Intercept (LLVI) teams in very close proximity to the front lines – with no guarantee whose side of the lines you’d be on, either. The picture below doesn’t show it, but that antenna stands about 9 feet tall and weighs about 50 pounds. So for a typical “insertion” mission (that is, you hike to your site or get dropped off by helicopter), you have each team member carry 1 of the system components, batteries, a three-day supply of food and water, personal weapons, cold-weather gear if necessary, and so on. As the biggest guy in my team, I carried the antenna. And as the team leader, I also carried the radio. So before I had my personal gear, I was already carrying about 80 pounds. Add the batteries, etc, and I often had a load upwards of 150 lbs on my back. So I guess it’s no wonder I still have knee and back problems…. |
