A. DESCRIPTION: THE GROUND BASED COMMON SENSOR-HEAVY (GBCS-H)
CONSISTS OF A MISSION ELECTRONICS SUITE INSTALLED IN AN ENCLOSURE AND
MOUNTED ON AN XM5 ELECTRONIC FIGHTING VEHICLE SYSTEM (EFVS) TRACKED
CARRIER. MISSION COMPONENTS PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY TO DETECT,
IDENTIFY, LOCATE WITH TARGETING ACCURACY, PROCESS, AND REPORT ON
SIGNAL ACTIVITY IN THE MF TO SHF FREQUENCY RANGE. GBCS-H ALSO
PROVIDES A STATE OF THE ART COMMUNICATIONS JAMMING CAPABILITY. IT IS
CAPABLE OF NETTING WITH UP TO 15 OTHER COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS FOR
COMPLETE COVERAGE OF THE COMMANDER'S AREA OF OPERATIONS. GBCS-H CAN
USE WORLDWIDE COMMERCIAL AND STANDARD ARMY POWER SOURCES. GBCS-H IS
USED BY TACTICAL COMMANDERS FOR ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, TARGETING
LOCATIONS, AND COMMUNICATIONS JAMMING OF ENEMY EMITTERS. THE GBCS-H
CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:

B. CAPABILITIES: WILL PROVIDE COMMUNICATIONS INTERCEPT DATA IN
THE HF, MF, EMF, VHF, AND, UHF RANGES, PROVIDE VHF, EHF, AND SHF
EMITTER LINES OF BEARING, DIRECTION FINDING AND COMMUNICATIONS SIGNAL
JAMMING. WHEN OPERATING IN TANDEM WITH TWO OR MORE SIMILAR SYSTEMS,
THE GBCS-H IS CAPABLE OF ACCURATELY FIXING EMITTER LOCATIONS. THE
GBCS-H WILL INTERFACE WITH OTHER IEW SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE
SURVEILLANCE, DIRECTION FINDING, TARGET LOCATION, AND COMMUNICATIONS
JAMMING RELATED TO ENEMY GROUND, AIRBORNE, AND OTHER SELECTED
OR TRANSMITTED SIGNALS WITHIN THE SYSTEM'S OPERATING RANGE. THIS
SYSTEM WILL REPLACE THE FOLLOWING IEW SYSTEMS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED
SUPPORT ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT:
AN/TSQ-138(TRAILBLAZER) LIN M21948
AN/TRQ-32A(V)2(TEAMMATE) LIN Z61894
AN/TLQ-17A(V)3(TRAFFIC JAM) LIN C30675
C. EMPLOYMENT: THE SYSTEM IS ASSIGNED TO MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
UNITS IN SUPPORT OF ARMORED AND MECHANIZED UNITS AND IS CAPABLE OF
INTEROERABILITY WITH LIKE SYSTEMS ACROSS THE FLOT. NORMAL OPERATIONS
WILL INVOLVE SIX SYSTEMS IN SUPPORT OF A DIVISION FRONT AND FOUR IN
SUPPORT OF AN ACR.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: ONE PER ELECTRONIC WARFARE TEAM, MILITARY
INTELLIGENCE COMPANY (GENERAL SUPPORT), MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
BATTALION, HEAVY DIVISION AND ONE PER ELECTRONIC WARFARE TEAM,
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE COMPANY, ARMORED CAVALRY REGIMENT.
E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: SYSTEM POWER IS AN ON BOARD GENERATOR
