Product Improvement Test, Relocation of FM ARC-54 and AT-1108 UHF/VHF Antennae.

Abstract

To determine the adequacy of the relocated FM and AT-1108 antennas on the AH-1G Helicopter. The US Army Aviation Test Board (USAAVNTBD) conducted the system effectiveness portion of the Reliability Test of the AH-1G Helicopter during the period July 1967-January 1968. During test it was determined that the communication systems installed in the helicopter were unsatisfactory because of antenna problems. The US Army Materiel Command requested, through US Army Test and Evaluation Command, that the USAAVNTBD test relocated UHF-AM/VHF-AM and VHF-FM antennas. On 1 February 1968, Bell Helicopter Company provided to the USAAVNTBD modification kits for relocation of the antennas. The AH-1G Helicopter is equipped with a government-furnished AT-1108 UHF-AN/VHF AM antenna and a contractor-furnished VHF-FM antenna.
