COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DATA COLLECTION PROGRAM IN THE REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM

Abstract

This paper summarizes the third period of research in support of the Advanced Research Projects Agency small unit tactical communications project entitled, Communications Research and Development Data Collection Program in the Republic of Vietnam. It presents an initial analysis of Vietnamese patrol and base practices and discusses the on-going program of communications data collection among U.S. and Free World Forces units. It describes communications practices in use by some of these units and reports findings to date in the area of radio wave path physiography, radio frequency, and dialect analyses. It recommends the use of directional-type antennas for tactical very high frequency and describes a simple, lightweight concept which could be used by tactical units.
