ImprovedRemotely Monitored

Battlefield Sensor System(IREMBASS)

I-REMBASS is an unattended ground sensorsystem that detects, classifies, anddetermines direction of movement ofintruding personnel and vehicles. It usesremotely monitored sensors emplaced alonglikely enemy avenues of approach. Thesesensors respond to seismic-acousticenergy, infrared energy, and magneticfield changes to detect enemy activities.The sensors process the data and providedetection or classification informationwhich is incorporated into digitalmessages and transmitted through shortburst .transmission to the system sensormonitor programmer set. The messages aredemodulated, decoded, displayed, andrecorded to provide a time-phased recordof enemy activity.

AN/PRD-12

The AN/PRD-12 is a lightweight manportablecommunications intercept/DF system. Thesystem's dual channel design gives itspeed, high accuracy, and operationalflexibility. It can stand alone onintercept and direction-finding missions.On emitter location missions, it works aspart of a network that may includelarger systems, such as Teammate,AN/TRQ-32A(V)2. The system is ideal forintercept/DF operations in light,airborne, air assault and SOF operations.The 60 pound system can be carried by twosoldiers. The receiver/processorsubsystem fits in one soldier's ALICE packand the antenna subsystem goes in anotherpack. A complete station can be rapidlyrelocated, optimizing its use in theforward areas of operations. Externalcommunications are provided by secureCombat Net Radio (CNR) .

Ground Based Common Sensor(GBCS)

GBCS is the Army's only on-the-ground,all-weather, all-terrain, self-contained,fully integrated, 24-hour signalintelligence and electronic warfare asset.The Electronic Attack (EA) module includessmart jamming capabilities. GBCS-H,mounted in the Ml097 (EFVS), provides thecapability to conduct mission operationson-the-move. The GBCS-L, mounted on theMl001 (HMMWV, heavy), provides lightforces with a rapidly deployable groundbased SIGINT capability. Using commonsubsystems in the platform, the systemintercepts and jams both single channeland LPI signals and when netted with AQF,provides situation development andtargeting information to battlefieldcommanders. The GBCS preprocesses signaldata at the sensor and provides targetdetection, identification, and locationreports in near-real-time. The GBCS isorganic to MI units at division and ACR.System collection and precision locationresults provide input for tasking andmission direction for other divisional IEWassets\ The GBCS-H/L is an element of theIEW Common Sensor (IEWCS) system.

AQF is a division level sensor system thatprovides signals intelligence to thebattlefield commander at ranges in excessof the Ground Based Common Sensorcapability. The system modularity allowsfor tailored mission tasking forcommunications and non-communicationsintelligence collection, precisionlocation, and Electronic Attack (EA).The system will permit rapid mid-rangeemitter mapping of the battlefield byusing angle and time difference of arrivaltechnology. Its range and accuracysupports the targeting of command andcontrol nodes within the division battlespace. The AQF operates in single ormultiple aircraft missions. Itinteroperates with the GBCS-H/L, and otherAQF assets, as part of the Intelligenceand Electronic Warfare Common Sensor(IEWCS) system, in a network to obtaintargetable emitter locations. Eachsystem provides the capability to detect,locate, collect, analyze, and exploitfixed frequency and LPI communications.AQF provides a "smart jamming" capabilityagainst communications emitters.

JSTARSGround Station Module .

(GSM BLK I)

JSTARS is a joint Army-Air Force wide-area-surveillance system that provides battle managementand targeting information. It supports situationdevelopment and targeting of mobile and fixed groundtargets and slow moving rotary wing aircraft. JSTARSconsists of Air Force E8C aircraft and Army GSMs.The E8C collects MT1 and SAR radar data using amulti-mode radar. The GSM is the Army's highlymobile ground station. It receives and analyzesprocessed radar imagery from the E8C. It is alsocapable of receiving/analyzing data from UAV-SR andSIGINT from the CTT. The GSM is distributed at allechelons brigade and above. It supports intelligenceand targeting functions with NRT interactivedisplays, which can be reproduced on a remotedisplay. The operator provides accurate fixed andmoving target locations, speed and direction ofmovement, and classification of tracked/wheeledvehicles. The GSM is equipped with standard Armycommunications and dedicated TACFIRE and ASAS digitallinks using pre-formatted auto-fill message formats.The SCDL provides a wideband, anti-jam, two way linkbetween the E8C and the GSM. Radar data, flightoperations information and RSR status, come from theaircraft. RSRs requesting special radar products(see performance characteristics), etc. are sent fromthe GSM to the aircraft. The GSM and E8C are alsolinked by SINCGARS and UHF radios.

It incorporates additional missionfunctionality into a fully mobile targeting, battlemanagement, and surveillance system. It receives,correlates, manipulates, displays, stores, anddisseminates imagery to include secondary imageryfrom national and theater sensors. The CGS operatesat the SECRET collateral level. It interfaces withATCCS and B2C2 to provide tactical commanders andbattle staffs at ECB a status-at-a-glance of thebattlefield. CGS operations on the move aresupported by a robust suite of communications devicesthat include SATCOM, IHFR, and CTT. The systemfacilitates intelligence operations and battlecommand through the use of wargaming, IPB, assetmanagement, and other tactical IEW and targetingworking aids. It provides the force with a fullyscalable, tailorable, mobile, and responsiveintelligence data processing capability to satisfyoperational and tactical requirements. The system'sopen architecture allows performance improvements andphysical downsizing through insertion of evolvingcommunications and computer technology.

EPDSElectronic Processing andDissemination System

EPDS is a mobile, air and groundtransportable, system-high, intelligenceand communication system. The systemreceives and processes SIGINT datacollected by national, theater, and corpssensors. SIGINT data is correlated andintegrated, then forwarded to the tacticalcommander in response to priorityintelligence requirements and requests forinformation. The EPDS maintains thetactical commander's SIGINT data base andserves as a pre-processor for theETUT/THMT/MITT/FAST. The CommunicationsSystems Processor (CSP) consists of aSUCCESS radio which provides uplink anddownlink communications with multipleairborne/spaceborne platformssimultaneously, and external ports toenable communication compatability withTROJAN, MSE, DIN/DSSCS as well as otherTENCAP systems. The SUCCESS additionallyprovides a TRAP/TADIX-B interface. Thedata acquisition system provides directaccess to national sensors, as well as, afull-duplex S-band SATCOM capability. ATIBS capability will be added in FY 94.

Automatic MeteorologicalSensor System

m=S)

The AMSS is a fully-automaticmeteorological sensor system capable ofmeasuring wind speed, wind direction,ambient temperature, relative humidity,and barometric pressure in forward areasof the battlefield. AMSS can be mountedon tactical vehicles or hand-emplaced inremote areas. The system is man-portable,automatic, remotely operated, and useseither standard internal battery orexternal power sources. The AMSS supportsfast-paced, flexible AirLand Operationsand gives critical surface weather data tosupport maneuver and targetingrequirements. The AMSS assigned to themaneuver force provides local weather datato the brigade/battalion S2, plus providesweather support to the division IMETS.The sensor/transceiver unit (STU)automatically senses, stores, averages,and reports weather data at its locationat operator-programmed intervals, wheninterrogated by the programmer/monitorunit (PMU), or when operator-progammedcritical thresholds are met. An interfaceunit links the system to the weatherprocessor using available areacommunications.
