B. CAPABILITIES:
(1) GENERAL. GR/CS SYSTEM 2 (AN/USD-9E) IS A COMMUNICATIONS
INTELLIGENCE (COMINT) SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES INTERCEPT AND DIRECTION
FINDING OF COMMUNICATION SIGNALS OF INTEREST. AN/USD-9E GENERATES
NEAR REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE REPORTS FOR CORPS' USERS WITH EMPHASIS ON
DEEP BATTLE AND FOLLOW-ON FORCES ATTACK SUPPORT BASED ON DATA STREAMS
FROM MULTIPLE RECEIVERS ONBOARD SPECIALLY EQUIPPED SURVEILLANCE
AIRCRAFT. ACCURATE DIRECTION FINDING (DF) ALSO SUPPORTS TARGETING OF
ARTILLERY AND AIR STRIKES. THESE REPORTS ARE THEN PASSED BACK UP THE
SECURE DATA LINK TO THE AIRCRAFT AND TRANSMITTED VIA RADIO TO
COMMANDER'S TACTICAL TERMINALS (CTT) IN THE CORPS' FORWARD DIVISIONS.
(2) SPECIFIC. THE ARF (AN/ARW-86) PROVIDES AN INTERCEPT/DF
PLATFORM WHICH FEEDS RAW & PRE-PROCESSED DATA FROM ON-BOARD DATA
STORAGE VIA THE GUARDRAIL DUAL DATA LINK (GDDL) TO THE INTEGRATED
PROCESSING FACILITY (AN/TSQ-176A). THE COMMUNICATIONS HIGH ACCURACY
LOCATION SYSTEM - X (CHALS-X) AND THE ELECTRONICS INTELLIGENCE
(ELINT) SUBSYSTEM USE TIME DIFFERENCE OF ARRIVAL (TDOA) TO PROVIDE
GREATER DF ACCURACY. THE ARF ALSO PROVIDES A RELAY FROM THE IPF TO
THE COMMANDERS TACTICAL TERMINAL HYBRID 3 (CTT/H3) AND VICE VERSA.
C. EMPLOYMENT:
(1) GENERAL. GR/CS SYSTEM 2 (AN/USD-9E) INTEGRATED PROCESSING
CENTER OBSERVES, ANALYZES, AND PROCESSES TRANSMISSIONS RELAYED
FROM THE AIRBORNE RELAY FACILITY (ARF) AND/OR THE DIRECT AIR-TO-
SATELLITE RELAY (DASR), AND USAF PLATFORMS.
(2) SPECIFIC. THE ARF IS UTILIZED TO CARRY MISSION PAYLOADS WHICH
COLLECT AND PROVIDE TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE TO THE CORPS, DIVISION,
BRIGADE COMMANDERS, AND OTHER UNITS WHICH HAVE A CTT. THE ARF
PROVIDES A DIRECT AIRBORNE LINK TO THE DSCS, WHICH IN TURN LINKS UP
TO THE INFORMATION PROCESSING FACILITY (AN/TSQ-176A) PORTION OF THE
GR/CS SYSTEM THROUGH THE GR/CS TRANSPORTABLE MEDIUM EARTH TERMINAL
(TMET). EACH FLIGHT MISSION REQUIRES THREE ARF MOUNTED ON THREE
AIRCRAFT.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: NINE PER AVIATION COMPANY (ELECTRONIC WARFARE),
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BATTALION (AERIAL EXPLOITATION), CORPS
(TOE 34418A200).
E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: POWER FOR THE ARF IS SUPPLIED BY THE AIRCRAFT
(120 VAC 400 HZ, AND 28 VDC).
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: INSTALLED ON RC-12P AIRCRAFT, OR
LOADED ON C130, C141, OR C5 DEPENDING ON THE MISSION AND SECURITY
ISSUES.
G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS:
OPERATOR: ONE ELECTRONIC WARFARE/INTERCEPT SYSTEMS REPAIRER, MOS
33W PER THREE ARF (THREE UL INTEGRATOR/MAINTAINER ARE
REQUIRED PER TOE 34418A200. EACH OF THE THREE ARF
USED ON EACH MISSION MUST HAVE ONE HOUR OF CONTINUOUS
PREFLIGHT/POSTFLIGHT INSPECTIONS AT EACH AIRCRAFT SITE
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE/AFTER EACH MISSION)
MAINTAINER:
UNIT LEVEL NONE (SEE OPERATOR EXPLANATION)
DIRECT SUPPORT 33W
GENERAL SUPPORT USAF CONTRACT
H. SPECIAL NOTES:
(1) THIS SYSTEM IS APPROPRIATE FOR PUBLICATION IN AR 71-13
(2) THE BASE ITEM IN ALL AERIAL EXPLOITATION BATTALIONS IS
GUARDRAIL V (GRV). THE HISTORY OF THE GUARDRAIL FAMILY FOLLOWS:
GRV WAS ORIGINALLY REQUIRED IN FOUR BASIC VARIATIONS: ONE
EACH WAS SCHEDULED TO BE FIELDED AT HUNTER AAF, GA, FORT HOOD, TX,
KOREA AND USAREUR.
AT HUNTER AAF, GRV WAS REPLACED BY GR/CS SYSTEM 1 (TOE
34418A100).
AT KOREA, GRV WAS REPLACED IN TOE 34418A300.
FOR OPERATION DESERT STORM A FIFTH VARIATION (TOE 34418A400)
WAS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE GRV--THEN IT WAS REASSIGNED TO USAREUR.
AT FT HOOD, GRV WAS REPLACED BY IGRV (TOE 34418A500) WHICH
IS NOW BEING REPLACED BY THE GR/CS SYSTEM 2 (TOE 34418A200).
(3) GR/CS SYSTEM 1 CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING LINS:
R37104 (M087AA), Z48621 (M087AB), Z32369 (M087AC),
S02634 (M087AD), S68422 (M087AE), P28143 (M087AF),
Z16650 (M087AG), Z35531 (M087AH), T77696 (M087MA),
Z38388 (M087MB), Z38320 (M087MC).
(4) ALL QUICKLOOK PERSONNEL WERE REPLACED USING M087AA.
GR/CS EQUIPMENT WAS REPLACED WITH THE OTHER BOIPS.
(5) GR/CS SYSTEM 2 CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING LINS:
Z48689 (M096AA), Z48757 (M096AB), Z48825 (M096AC),
Z48893 (M096AD), Z06177 (M096AE), Z33934 (M096AF),
Z48940 (M096AG), Z44004 (M096AH), Z38456 (M096AI),
Z57582 (M096AJ)
