Voice Tests on Man-Pack Radios in a Tropical Environment

Abstract

Under the direction of the Advanced research Projects Agency and the United States Army Electronic Research and Development Laboratory, Stanford Research Institute conducted a field test program to compare the performance of selected man-pack radio sets under various tropical terrain and weather conditions. Initial steps had already been taken to establish a Tropical Communication Laboratory as part of the Combat Development and Test Center (CDTC) in Thailand. The formation of the basic laboratory and the assignment of personnel were hastened to accomplish the desired field tests. This report describes the results of voice tests on the selected man-pack radio sets in a tropical forest environment. It will be followed by reports on the performance of the sets in other terrain environments.
