Evaluation of Vulnerability of Radio Intercom AN/PRC-43.

摘要

Tests were conducted to evaluate the vulnerabil ity of Radio Intercom AN/PRC-43 to intercept, direction finding, and jamming. The AN/PRC-43 is a lightweight, medium-power receiver-trans mitter designed to demonstrate single-sideband (SSB) use in forward aareas of Army operation. Tests determined that the AN/PRC-43 presented no unusual problems to intercept and DF, and that it is highly vulnerable to jamming; fm jamming signals proved superior to am. and cw signals. During the field tests, the intercept operator was able to fully understand and copy unjammed messages using a conventional am. receiver. (Author)
