AN/GSG-10 Tactical Fire Detection System (TACFIRE)

AN/GSG-10 Tactical Fire Detection System (TACFIRE)

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/GSG-10 uses the AN/VRC-46 Radio Set for communication

Frequency: 30 76 MHz

Power: 35 W

purposes via a vehicular and/or fixed short range FM radio set. It

utilizes a resonant length whip antenna.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

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 ....

Exclude personnel to a distance of 1.0 m from the antenna.

RF shock/burn .....................

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch the antenna when energized.

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

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

hazards.

AN/GSS-1 Radar Surveillance Central

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/GSS-1 uses the AN/TPS-1D radar set in a truck

Frequency: 1.22 1.35 GHz

Power: 615 kW PEP

mounted shelter, with the radar antenna on the forward end of

492 W average

the shelter roof. It utilizes a 4.57 m wide parabolic section

antenna.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

While scanning, this system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess

of the safety standard. While nonscanning, 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 ....

While nonscanning, exclude personnel to a distance of 15.0 m from the antenna. In the

high power mode, exclude personnel to a distance of 17 m from the antenna. Extremely

high PDLs exceeding 5x the safety standard exist in the region between the feed horn

and the reflector. Exclude personnel from these areas.

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

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

Direct main beam from occupied areas during servo alignment procedure.
