DSBCIS (Dismounted Soldier Battlefield Combat Identification System)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The DSBCIS is a rifle and soldier-mounted version of the BCIS. This

Power: 38 mW average

system is composed of a transponder/interrogator assembly which is

316 mW PEP

used to identify friendly forces during combat. This system utilizes a

patch-array antenna attached to the soldier's rifle and an transponder

omnidirectional resonant dipole antenna is attached to the soldier

helmet.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.

DWSR88C Weather Radar

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The DWSR88C is a fixed-station Doppler weather radar. It utilizes either of

three parabolic reflector dish antennas; 3.7 m, 4.3 m, or 6.1 m.

Power: 125 W average; 250 kW PEP

275 W (Doppler mode)

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

When utilizing the 4.3 m or 6.1 m antenna, this system is not able to produce potentially

hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety standard. When utilizing the 3.7 m antenna,

this system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard. Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines

provided in this TB) .

Hazard distance from antenna ....

When utilizing the 3.7 m antenna, exclude personnel to a distance of 47 m from the dish

antenna.

Open/cracked waveguides.........

The area between the antenna feed horn and reflector and any open waveguides produce

potentially hazardous PDLs within short ranges. Exclude personnel from this area and

do no permit operation of this system with any cracked, broken or open waveguide.

Other.................................

Consult the manufacturer's equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or

maintenance hazards.
