Development Test II of Radio Set AN/GRC-103(V) with Band IV Components

Abstract

The US Army Electronic Proving Ground conducted a DT 2 of Radio Set AN/GRC-103(V) with band 4 components to determine to what extent it meets specification EL-CP0150-0001A; and to evaluate the safety, reliability, and maintainability of the test item in accordance with the approved plan of test. Findings revealed that the test item was safe to maintain and it met the specification requirements except there was a 630 volt exposure to maintenance personnel without an accompanying warning label. The test item demonstrated serious reliability problems due to repeated failures of the frequency multiplier. The test item endurance during environmental and physical test was satisfactory except for humidity and vibration tests. Problems encountered during maintenance evaluation include inadequate or missing manuals, part number inconsistencies, and component inaccessibilities.
