Modification of the AN/TRC-97 troposcatter radio terminal to provide TRI-TAC compatibility
Abstract
In response to HQ USAF direction, a study was conducted to determine an appropriate modification to the AN/TRC-97 to provide a digital trunking capability and to complement the new TRI-TAC AN/TRC-170 tropo terminals. This report is a summary of the study results which were presented to HQ USAF on 18 June 1976. The modification is described and the proposed 'digital AN/TRC-97' is compared to a AN/TRC-170 on technical and life cycle cost bases. A recommended implementation plan and program schedule also are presented.
