OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF ECM SET AN/MLQ-8(XL-2), EW SYSTEMS TEST USAEPG-3 PHASE 2 EQUIPMENT TEST AND EVALUATION. SUPPLEMENT 1

Abstract

These supplemental tests are concerned primarily with mutual interferences from the use of the AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) in close proximity to another AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) or to other friendly electronic equipment. Two AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) jammers employed for mutual protection interfere slightly with one another when sited 1,000 yards apart, but at tactical ranges of 2,000 yards or more no disability is indicated. The jammer must be separated from division-area grid communications by a distance of 1 mile to prevent disruption of teletype circuits. When the Radio Terminal Set AN/TRC-24 of a grid system is sited from 2 to 15 miles from the AN/MLQ-8(XL-2), it shares power in proportion to which lobe of the AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) antenna is affected by the interfering transmission. This power sharing prevents predetonating of VT fuzes, or effective AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) operation. If the AN/MLQ-8(XL-2) is kept 1/4 miles away from Radio Set Aircraft Radio Corporation (ARC) Type 12 used for voice communications, the interference, although perceptible, does not prevent communication.
