Communications Tests with Tactical Radios in a Large Urban Area.

Abstract

A relatively large set of communication tests was conducted in Philadelphia, PA. The objective of the test was to determine whether present tactical radios provide adequate range performance in heavily built-up areas. The radios tested were the AN/PRC-77, the new squad radio (AN/PRC-68), and the old squad radio system (AN/PRT-4 and AN/PRR-9). All communications attempts were with the operators at street level or at various floor levels inside of buildings. The results of these tests do not preclude use of the PRC-77 and PRC-68 radios in military operations in built-up areas. (Author)
