A. DESCRIPTION: THE AN/TSQ-205 (LIN Z61050) ENHANCED TRACKWOLF
COMMUNICATIONS INTELLIGENCE (COMINT) STATION IS MADE UP OF COMMERCIAL
OFF THE SHELF EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLIES (COTS). THE AN/TSQ-205 STATION IS
MOUNTED IN TWENTY TWO (22) RUGGEDIZED TRANSIT CASES. NO CASE WEIGHS
MORE THAN 140 POUNDS. AN ENTIRE STATION WEIGHS 2907 POUNDS, AND HAS
A VOLUME OF 298 CUBIC FEET. THE STATION REQUIRES 6KW OF
120/208VAC 60HZ POWER. THREE (3) AN/TSQ-205 RECEIVING STATIONS ARE
REQUIRED FOR AN EAC SIGINT COMPANY. THE STATION CONTAINS THE
FOLLOWING LIN AND NON-LIN COMPONENTS:

B. CAPABILITIES: IN A STAND ALONE OPERATION EACH AN/TSQ-205
ENHANCED TRACKWOLF STATION IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING TWENTY FOUR
(24) HOUR A DAY COMINT COLLECTION, ANALYSIS, REPORTING AND RADIO
DIRECTION FINDING (DF) IN THE HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) SPECTRUM.
NETWORKING OF ALL THREE STATIONS PROVIDES AN INTERNAL GEO-
LOCATIONAL CAPABILITY. ENHANCED TRACKWOLF CAN ALSO INTERFACE
WITH OTHER TACTICAL AND NATIONAL HFDF SYSTEMS TO INCREASE THE
ACCURACY OF LOCATIONAL DATA OF HOSTILE EMITTERS. THE SYSTEM

AT TIER I EACH STATION WILL ONLY DEPLOY WITH THE COMMAND AND
CONTROL, SUPERVISOR PERSONNEL AND COLLECTORS, TRANSIT CASES,
2 HMMWVS WITH TRAILER, SATCOM COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND
SYSTEM SPARES REQUIRED TO CONDUCT AUSTERE COLLECTION, ANALYSIS,
REPORTING AND DIRECTION FINDING OPERATIONS FOR APPROXIMATELY
TWO WEEKS. OPERATOR PERSONNEL WILL BE ABLE TO PERFORM LIMITED
REPLACEMENT OF FAILED CIRCUIT CARDS USING BUILT IN TEST
EQUIPMENT TO ISOLATE FAULTS. POWER WILL BE FROM COMMERCIAL
SOURCES WHERE AVAILABLE OR FROM INVERTED POWER USING 28 VDC
VEHICLE POWER. EACH AN/TSQ-205 STATIONS MAY BE DEPLOYED TO
DIFFERENT THEATERS AT TIER I.
AT TIER II THE UL MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT AND POWER
GENERATORS WILL BE DEPLOYED TO THE STATIONS LOCATION FOR LONGER
OPERATIONS. INTERFACE WITH THE OTHER AN/TSQ-205 VIA TAC SATCOM
OR AUTODIN MAY BE ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE THE BASELINE FOR GEO-
LOCATION.
AT TIER III THE UNIT HEADQUARTERS INCLUDING DS MAINTENANCE
PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT AND POWER GENERATORS WILL DEPLOY TO THE
STATION LOCATED NEAR THE CENTER OF THE AN/TSQ-205 BASELINE.
INTERFACE THROUGH HF, UHF SATCOM, AUTODIN OR TROJAN SPIRIT II
WITH OTHER TACTICAL AND NATIONAL SYSTEMS WILL BE ESTABLISHED.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: THREE AN/TSQ-205 STATIONS TO THE MILITARY
INTELLIGENCE COMPANY (SIGINT) (EAC) (ET), MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
BATTALION (SIGINT) (EAC), MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADE (EAC).
THE AN/TSQ-205 STATIONS DISPLACE ALL EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
OBSOLETE OUTS SYSTEM, AND ARE DOCUMENTED AS BASE ITEMS FOR TOE
34617A100.
E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: 6 KW OF 120/208 VAC FROM COMMERCIAL OR
TACTICAL GENERATORS. DURING AUSTERE DEPLOYMENTS CAN OPERATE ON
28 VDC POWER PROVIDED BY THE HMMWV's USING A COTS INVERTER
MOUNTED IN THE BED'S OF LINS T61494 AND T61562.
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: CAN BE TRANSPORTED IN THE
HOLD OF COMMERCIAL OR MILITARY AIRCRAFT TO INCLUDE THE ARMY
STANDARD FIXED WING AIRCRAFT, THE C-12, ON AND OFF ROAD
VEHICLES, RAIL 0R SHIP. A TOTAL OF TEN (10) HHMWV AND ONE
(1) 2-1/2 TON TRUCK IS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE THREE
AN/TSQ-205 STATIONS.
G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS.
(1) OPERATOR: FOR TWENTY FOUR (24) HOUR OPERATIONS, EACH
AN/TSQ-205 STATION REQUIRES TWENTY SEVEN (27) COLLECTOR
/ ANALYST PERSONNEL. THESE ARE:
6 SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ANALYST 98C
3 EMITTER LOCATOR/IDENTIFIER 98D
6 VOICE INTERCEPTORS 98G
9 MORSE INTERCEPTORS 98H
3 NON-MORSE INTERCEPTOR 98K
27 TOTAL OPERATORS
(2) MAINTAINERS:
(A) UNIT LEVEL: 2 EW/I TACTICAL SYSTEM REPAIRERS, MOS
33T,PER AN/TSQ-205.
(B) DIRECT SUPPORT: 2 EW/I TACTICAL SYSTEMS REPAIRES, MOS
33T, PER 3 AN/TSQ-205.
H. SPECIAL NOTES:
THE AN/TSQ-205 STATION FORMS THE BASE OF THE AN/TSQ-199
RECEIVING SYSTEM, SPECIAL PURPOSE WHICH WILL BE EVOLVE AS
EXPANDED CAPABILITIES ARE DEVELOPED.
ASSOCIATED SUPPORT ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT DOCUMENTED IN TOE AS BASE
ITEMS.

THE LST-5E (AN/PSC-10 W/NO LIN) DAMA SATCOM RADIO WAS INCLUDED
IN THIS SYSTEM BECAUSE THE AN/PSC-5E DAMA SATCOM RADIO
(LIN R57606) HAD NOT BEEN CERTIFIED FOR SPECIAL INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNICATIONS AT THE TIME THE SYSTEM WAS BUILT. WHEN CERTIFIED
THE AN/PSC-5E RADIO WILL REPLACE THE LST-5E RADIO.
INITIAL TRAINING FOR THE AN/TSQ-199 SYSTEM WILL BE PROVIDED UNDER
CONTRACT WITH THE HARDWARE MANUFACTURER. NO INSTITUTIONAL
TRAINING BASE WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE ENHANCED TRACKWOLF
OPERATORS OR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL, OTHER THAN THE BASIC SKILLS
PROVIDED IN THE MOS PRODUCING COURSES OR THE MI SCHOOL.
