Fleet Reliability Assessment Program. Volume 2. AN/SSR-1Satellite Signal Receiving Set.

摘要

The AN/SSR-1 is a receive-only Ultra High Frequency (UHF, 300MHz-36GHz) communications satellite (SATCOM) terminal capable of providing up to 15 channels of 75 band (100 word per minute) teletype. It is used as a Fleet broadcast receiver and is widely deployed on all classes of surface craft large enough to require teletype service. The AN/SSR-1 greatly exceeds its specified and predicted MTBF's. The performance is so good that Fleet users actually apologized to FRAP interviewers for not having anything to report. At the current level of performance and usage, a typical AN/SSR-1 system can be expected to fail at the rate of roughly once in three years. No hardware problems were discovered.
