Ground Mobile Forces Tactical Satellite Terminals

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 14-16, 1980 / Bahia Hotel, San Diego, CaliforniaTo supplement its communication capabilities, the US Army has developed a family of small, mobile, relatively low cost, Satellite Communications Terminals. Designated as AN/TSC-85 and AN/TSC-93, the Ground Terminals provide Satellite Communication links using the SHF Band. The terminals have a similar design resulting in a high degree of commonality allowing for lower logistics and operational costs. A special signal processing equipment permits nodal (multi-point) and non-nodal (point-to-point) communications. Both terminals are designed to operate from a standard, field power generators as well as from a variety of other power sources. The terminals can establish communications within thirty minutes of arrival on site.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
