AN/GRC-171 Rivet Switch Multichannel UHF/AM Transceiver
Abstract
The IOT and E of the AN/GRC-171 was accomplished at Richards-Gebaur AFB, MO., during the period of 2 Dec 74 through 3 Feb 75. Testing was conducted in both a laboratory and an operational environment. The technical performance of the radio was evaluated on the bench while operational characteristics were evaluated in a control tower environment. The bench tests were designed to demonstrate the suitability of the radios for operational use. The radios were tested to either the extreme tolerances of the radio or until conditions were reached that would not be encountered in an actual operational environment. The control tower tests were conducted by actual operators. The radio was used as it normally would be used when fielded. Here the radio was checked for compatibility with existing equipment, ease of operation, and ease of maintenance.
