Ambrose and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HF equipment and system design have been largely ignored by the US Army during the past ten years. This was in anticipation of achieving sufficient and effective communication via use of other frequencies and media. It is now apparent that hf is a more viable and useful tool than previously thought and deserves a role in the US Army's communications system. The problem of now reinstituting hf an in integral part of US Army communications is approach in this CORADCOM study as follows: (1) Determine the usefulness of present assets. (2) Determine what are the available and applicable existing equipments that may be used to augment or replace existing assets in the near term (1980 - 1985). These equipments having been largely developed by industry for other military and commercial users. (3) Define technologies and developing equipments that meet US Army post 1985 requirements in coping with 'real life' environment. (4) Investigate specific areas for exploratory research and development for future application. Efforts under this task are directed toward (2) above in which the final result is to identify equipments/systems for interim use (1980 - 1985).
