OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING SET AN/MRT-4
Abstract
An evaluation of the Radio Transmitting Set AN/MRT-4 as a VT-fuze jammer is presented. This evaluation of the operational performance will assist in the formulation of concepts of tactical employment of the equipment. The AN/MRT-4 is a mobile, swept-frequency, transmitting equipment covering the band of 75 to 240 mc by duplicate transmitters either individually or simultaneously. Antennas used with the transmitters are also supplied in duplicate; two AS-541/U and two AS-542/U antennas are required to cover the frequency band. The power output of this equipment is nominally one kilowatt. A power unit PE-95 supplies power for the set. The tests demonstrated that the AN/MRT-4 is bulky and complex in operation, requires a crew of six men and extensive logistical support, requires adjacent equipment for spectrum analysis, and is inconsistent in range and effectiveness. This report concerns only the unmodified AN/MRT-4. (Author)
