AN/VSQ-2 (V) Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS)

AN/VSQ-2 (V) Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The AN/VSQ-2 is a vehicular tactical data system which handles

Frequency: 420 450 MHz

Power: 0.4 -100 W

simplex/duplex data transmissions in the UHF band. Two variations

of the EPLRS are the Very High Speed Integrated Circuit (VHSIC)

and the System Improvement Program (SIP). The EPLRS utilizes a

vertical monoplole antenna in the vehicular, airborne, or manpack

configuration, depending on the mission.
