Fleet Reliability Assessment Program. Volume 3. AN/WSC-3 Satellite Communication Set.

Abstract

The AN/WSC-3 is a Satellite Communications Set that operates in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) (300MHz-3GHz) portion of the spectrum. The set provides voice, teletype, and digital data communications by satellite or line-of-sight (LOS) for the Fleet on a world wide basis. AN/WSC-3's are installed on surface ships in either single or multiple installations utilizing the OE-83B/WSC-1 trainable, directional antenna system or satellite data operation, and a conventional UHF omnidirectional antenna for LOS operation. On submarines the single AN/WSC-3 installations can be operated ship-to-ship LOS or with the satellite using the OE-158 antenna or equivalent.
