Survival-Enhancement Provided by Remote Antennas.

Abstract

Simulated test firings have been conducted to determine the effectiveness with which a radiating antenna, and units adjacent to it, can be attacked by employing direction finding (DF) equipment to locate the antenna and the Soviet 152 mm howitzer to inflict damage. Additional simulated firings were conducted to investigate the enhancement in survival resulting when the radiating antenna is emplaced remotely from a representative unified battalion command post (BCP) and from a fractured command post in which the battalion commander operates from within an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).
