B. CAPABILITIES:
(1) THE AN/TSQ-179 IS CAPABLE OF SIMULTANEOUS RECEPTION,
PROCESSING AND DISPLAYING OF DATA FROM MULTIPLE SURVEILLANCE SENSORS.
THIS SYSTEM VIEWS DEEP INTO THE ENEMY CORPS AREA OF INTEREST BY
SIMULTANEOUSLY RECEIVING, PROCESSING, AND DISPLAYING MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES ON A DIGITIZED MAP BACKGROUND. SENSORS CAN BE
INTEGRATED FOR INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS, BATTLE MANAGEMENT, TARGET
TRACKING, AND COMMAND REPORTING. TWO PRIMARY SENSORS INCLUDE THE
JSTARS RADAR WHICH PROVIDES MOVING AND FIXED TARGET INDICATORS (MTI
AND FTI) AS WELL AS RADAR "PICTURES" (SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR), AND
THE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) WHICH PROVIDES REAL-TIME VIDEO OF
SELECT AREAS.
(2) INTELLIGENCE BROADCAST NETWORKS ELECTRONICS INTELLIGENCE
(ELINT) AND COMMUNICATIONS INTELLIGENCE (COMINT) DATA RECEIVED OVER
THE COMMANDER'S TACTICAL TERMINAL (CTT) AND SECONDARY IMAGE
DISSEMINATION (SID) ARE ALSO INTEGRATED. THE CGS PROVIDES BOTH
IN-THE-CLEAR AND SECURE DIGITAL DATA INTERFACES WITH TACTICAL FIRE
DIRECTION SYSTEM (TACFIRE), ADVANCED FIELD ARTILLERY TACTICAL DATA
SYSTEM (AFATDS), ALL SOURCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM (ASAS), IMPROVED DATA
MODEM (IDM) AND THE JSTARS AIRBORNE PLATFORM. THE CGS INTERFACES
WITH THE ADVANCED QUICKFIX AND GROUND BASED COMMON SENSOR. A CGS
REMOTE WORK STATION MOUNTED IN THE TRUCK CAB IS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING
JOINT STARS DATA RECEIVED VIA SATCOM WHILE THE CGS IS ON THE MOVE.
UP TO FOUR CGS REMOTE WORKSTATIONS CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE CGS FOR
DATA DISPLAY AND MANIPULATION AT REMOTE LOCATIONS. THE CGS ALSO
INTEGRATES PICTURES RECEIVED THROUGH SECONDARY IMAGE DISSEMINATION
(SID).
(3) THE OUTPUT FROM THE CGS, IN SPECIFIC MESSAGE FORMAT, IS
PROVIDED TO REQUISITE ARMY COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS AND
INTELLIGENCE (C3I) NODES VIA WIRE OR RADIO. THE INHERENT FLEXIBILITY
IN CGS PROVIDES TAILORED SUPPORT TO INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AS WELL
AS TARGETING BY FIELD ARTILLERY AND AVIATION ASSETS, AND BATTLE
MANAGEMENT, SURVEILLANCE, TARGETING AND INTERDICTION PLANS TO BE
DEVELOPED AND EXECUTED WITH NEAR REAL-TIME DATA.
C. EMPLOYMENT: THE CGS IS EMPLOYED WORLDWIDE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF
OPERATIONAL SETTINGS RANGING FROM ECHELONS ABOVE CORPS (EAC), TO
CORPS, DIVISION, SEPARATE BRIGADE/ACR.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: THE CGS IS A COMPLETE ONE-FOR-ONE REPLACEMENT
OF THE TARGET ACQUISITION SUBSYSTEM: AN/TSQ-178(), LIGHT GROUND
STATION MODULE (LGSM) (LIN: Z78222, BOIP M082AA) AND TARGET
ACQUISITION SUBSYSTEM: AN/TSQ-168(V)(), MEDIUM GROUND STATION MODULE
(MGSM) (LIN: Z74759, BOIP M065AA).

E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: NORMAL OPERATIONS REQUIRE 4KW OF 50/60HZ,
120/208 VOLT ALTERNATING CURRENT (VAC) POWER. START-UP MAY REQUIRE
9.9KW. THE PRIMARY POWER IS DERIVED FROM A 10KW 60HZ GENERATOR WITH
BACKUP POWER PROVIDED BY A SECOND 10KW 60HZ GENERATOR. A COMMERCIAL
POWER CABLE IS PROVIDED WITH A CONNECTOR IDENTICAL TO THE GENERATOR
CONNECTOR AND "PIGTAILS" FOR COMMERCIAL POWER HOOK-UP.
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: THE AN/TSQ-179 WILL BE TRANSPORTABLE
BY THE FOLLOWING MODES OF TRANSPORTATION: AIR (BY C-5, C-17, C-141,
CH-47, AND WHEN DISSASSEMBLED BY C-130), SEA (BY LANDING CRAFT MEDIUM
AND LARGER), RAIL AND HIGHWAY (BY ALL MODES).
G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS.
(1) OPERATOR: SIX MOS 96H: AERIAL INTELLIGENCE SPECIALIST
PER SYSTEM. (TWO WORKSTATIONS, EACH REQUIRES ONE OPERATOR FOR THREE
EIGHT-HOUR SHIFTS.)
(2) MAINTAINERS:
(A) UNIT LEVEL MAINTENANCE: 31U, 33W, 44B, 52C, 52D, 63B.
(B) DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE: 33W, 35E, 63J, 63W.
(C) GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE: None.
H. SPECIAL NOTES:
(1) BOING IS APPROPRIATE FOR INCLUSION ON THE FMBB ABOI.
(2) ASIOE THAT WERE PART OF M065AA (Z74759, MEDIUM GSM) AND/OR
M082AA (Z78222, LIGHT GSM) THAT WERE THE SAME IN M091AA (CGS) WERE
NOT CHANGED (DELETED AND ADDED BACK IN).
(3) ASSOCIATED ITEM: INSTALLATION KIT MK-2326/VRC FOR
AN/VRC-89/91/92 IN HMMWV, LIN J47457, IS AN ASSOCIATED ITEM FOR THE
CGS AND IS GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT (GFE).
(4) ASSOCIATED ITEM: THE KYK-13, LIN E98103, IS RECOMMENDED FOR
USE IN THE CGS AS A QUICK RELIABLE MEANS OF LOADING KEY DATA AND
TRANSFERRING OF DATA FROM ONE CRYPTO DEVICE TO ANOTHER. THIS CRYPTO
DEVICE WILL BE USED IN ADDITION WITH THE AN/CYZ-10(V)3, LIN Z21128,
TO SUPPORT CGS KEYING OPERATIONS. THE AN/CYZ-10(V)3 SOFTWARE WILL BE
UPGRADED IN FY99, WHICH WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE KYK-13.
(5) ASSOCIATED ITEM: THE CMD SYS TACTICAL, LIN Z24045, WILL BE
INCLUDED AS ASIOE UNTIL THE JOINT TACTICAL TERMINAL BECOMES
AVAILABLE.
(6) ASSOCIATED ITEM: THE TAPE READER GENERAL PURPOSE:
KOI-18/TSEC, LIN T40405, IS FOR USE WITH THE JTIDS COMSEC MODULE:
KGV-8/TSEC, LIN Z54132.
