OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF COUNTERMEASURES RECEIVING SET AN/TLR-9
Abstract
Tests to obtain a final evaluation of the opera tional capabilities of Countermeasures eceiving Set AN/TLR-9 as a VT-fuze signal receiver and analyzer demonstrate that the equipment is ef fective over its frequency range of 58 to 320 mc. Bench tests and non-tactical field tests show that the equipment performs as specified for sensitivi ty, calibration, scanning rate, indicator gain, and outputs. Antenna AT-318/TLR is determined to be the most suitable for tactical operation. The AN/TRL-9 can detect weak, transient signals from VT and CVT fuzes and display their fre quencies on a panoramic indicator. The set, which was operated by a four-man crew in a 2 1/2 ton truck, attains maximum ranges of 21,000 yards in the case of both VT and CVT 105-mm low-angle howitzer fire. (Author)
