OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF RADIO SET AN/TRT-2B (XL-1) EMPLOYED AS A VT-FUZE JAMMER (JOB 33-56-0013) EW SYSTEMS TEST USAEPG-3 PHASE 2 EQUIPMENT TEST AND EVALUATION
Abstract
Radio Set AN/TRT-2B (XL-1), a VT-fuze jammer, operates over a frequency range of from 70 to 200 Mc, is a swept cw jammer of approximately 80 watts maximum output, capable of am. modulation with audio tones and random mcw keying. The AN/TRT-2B (XL-1) is a modification of the AN/TRT-2B that provides greater time-on-signal to make the set effective against VT fuzes with anti- jamming features. The results of an operational evaluation of Radio Set AN/TRT- 2B were published in USAEPG-SIG 920-50, September 1956. Under optimum conditions the set predetonated 90 percent of T-226E2/A and T-227/A VT fuzes at a range of 2,500 yards. However, when the jamming aspect was varied, that effective range was not consistently maintained. A total of nine firing tests were conducted under varying parameters including simultaneous friendly and enemy fire and NVT and CVT fuzes. Other subjects investigated were certain technical characteristics, operational times, ruggedness and transportability, vulnerability to intercept and direction finding, interference with communications, maintenance, and man-machine relationships.
