A. DESCRIPTION: THE SURVEILLANCE INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER: OL-
571/TSQ-176A (LIN Z48689), COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS IPF VAN-1, IS ONE
OF FOUR INTEGRATED INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTERS OF THE GUARDRAIL/
COMMON SENSOR (GR/CS) SYSTEM-2 (AN/USD-9E). IPF VAN-1 HAS THE MAIN
ENTRANCE FOR THE INTERCONNECTED VANS AND CONTAINS A TOTAL OF NINE
OPERATOR WORKSTATIONS, THE FUNCTIONS OF WHICH ARE DETERMINED BY
SPECIFIC MISSION REQUIREMENTS (MISSION MANAGER, TRAFFIC ANALYST,
COMINT COLLECTION SUPERVISOR, COMINT COLLECTION/LOCATION ANALYSTS,
TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS OPERATOR, ELINT SUPERVISOR, AND ELINT
OPERATORS). OPERATORS PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS AT ONE OF THE
WORKSTATIONS OR AT HARDWARE UNITS WITHIN THE FACILITY. IPF VAN-1 IS
MOUNTED ON A MODIFIED, 8 X 40' TRAILER CHASSIS AND IS ENVIRONMENTALLY
CONTROLLED BY A UNIFAB CV-60-5/6-08 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNIT (ECU-
121) CONTAINING THREE EACH, 60,000 BTU/HR COOLING AND 49,000 BTU/HR
HEATING AIR CONDITIONERS.

B. CAPABILITIES:
(1) GENERAL. GR/CS SYSTEM 2 (AN/USD-9E) IS A COMMUNICATIONS
INTELLIGENCE (COMINT) SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES INTERCEPT AND DIRECTION
FINDING OF COMMUNICATION SIGNALS OF INTEREST. AN/USD-9E GENERATES
NEAR REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE REPORTS FOR CORPS' USERS WITH EMPHASIS ON
DEEP BATTLE AND FOLLOW-ON FORCES ATTACK SUPPORT BASED ON DATA STREAMS
FROM MULTIPLE RECEIVERS ONBOARD SPECIALLY EQUIPPED SURVEILLANCE
AIRCRAFT. ACCURATE DIRECTION FINDING (DF) ALSO SUPPORTS TARGETING OF
ARTILLERY AND AIR STRIKES. THESE REPORTS ARE THEN PASSED BACK UP THE
SECURE DATA LINK TO THE AIRCRAFT AND TRANSMITTED VIA RADIO TO
COMMANDER'S TACTICAL TERMINALS (CTT) IN THE CORPS' FORWARD DIVISIONS.
(2) SPECIFIC. IPF VAN-1 OPERATORS COLLECT ELINT DATA. THE
SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ANALYST CONDUCTS CURSORY ANALYSIS ON THE RAW
DIRECTION FINDING (DF) AND THREAT DATA TO PRODUCE REPORTS FOR
APPROPRIATE SUBSCRIBERS AT ALL ECHELONS. ALL THE OPERATORS MAINTAIN
AND CORRELATE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INTELLIGENCE (EEI) INTO A
DATABASE ARCHIVE FOR HISTORICAL REFERENCE. ONE RECORD KEEPER
MAINTAINS THE REPORT SERIALIZATION LOG AND THE ACTIVITY'S SHIFT LOG.
ONE MAP BOARD OPERATOR PLOTS PROCESSED DATA ON THE MAP AND PROVIDES
ENEMY LOCATION FEEDBACK INFORMATION TO THE OTHER OPERATORS.
C. EMPLOYMENT:
(1) GENERAL. IPF VAN-1 IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER
THREE INFORMATION PROCESSING FACILITIES IN THE GUARDRAIL COMMON
SENSOR (GR/CS) SYSTEM 2 INCREMENTAL CHANGE PACKAGE (M096) TO OBSERVE,
ANALYZE, AND PROCESS TRANSMISSIONS RELAYED FROM THE AIRBORNE RELAY
FACILITY (ARF) AND/OR THE DIRECT AIR-TO-SATELLITE RELAY (DASR),
AND USAF PLATFORMS. ALL FOUR IPF VANS (AN/TSQ-176A SURVEILLANCE
INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER) ARE COLOCATED WITHIN LINE-OF-SIGHT OF
THE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PATHS, OR IF UTILIZING THE DASR, WITHIN THE
FOOTPATH OF THE RELEVANT SATELLITE.
(2) SPECIFIC. FOUR IPF VANS COMPRISE THE AN/TSQ-176A SURVEILLANCE
INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER (IPF), WHICH IS A MANNED, GROUND-BASED,
CONTROL, DATA PROCESSING, ANALYSIS, AND MESSAGE GENERATION AND
DISTRIBUTION CENTER. THREE TRACKING MICROWAVE DISH ANTENNAS PROVIDE
THE MAJOR DATA LINKS BETWEEN THE IPF AND THE ARFs, VOICE ORDER WIRE
(VOW) COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE IPF AND THE AIRCRAFT PILOTS, AND ONE
LEG OF THE CTT COMMUNICATIONS LINK. THE IPF CONTROLS ARF INTERCEPT
AND DIRECTION FINDING (DF) EQUIPMENT, PROVIDES SECURE VOW
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE AIRCRAFT PILOTS, PROVIDES SECURE UHF BACK-UP
VOW (BUVOW) AND VHF FM (SINCGARS) COMMUNICATIONS WITH AIRCRAFT
PILOTS, PERFORMS SIGNAL CLASSIFICATION, ACQUISITION, AND RECOGNITION
(SCAR) PROCESSING OF RECEIVED COMINT SIGNALS, PROVIDES OPERATOR AURAL
MONITORING AND SPECTRUM DISPLAY OF INTERCEPTED COMINT SIGNALS,
PROVIDES TAPE AND OPTICAL DISK STORAGE FOR THE RECORDING, PLAYBACK,
AND ANALYSIS OF COLLECTED SIGNAL AUDIO, DISPLAYS LOCATION AND
STATISTICAL DATA AT OPERATOR WORKSTATIONS, GENERATES TACTICAL REPORTS
FOR TRANSMISSION OF COMINT AND ELINT RESULTS TO INTELLIGENCE CENTERS
AND CTTS, TRANSMITS SECURE TELETYPE (TTY) MESSAGES TO THE CTTS
THROUGH THE DATA LINK AND THE ARFs, AND PROVIDES TWO-WAY SECURE VOICE
(TCC) COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE IPF AND THE CTTS THROUGH THE DATA
LINK AND THE ARF.
D. BASIS OF ISSUE: ONE PER AVIATION COMPANY, EW, MIB, SRC 34418A200
E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: IPF VAN-1 FACILITY REQUIRES 35.5 KW PF POWER
AT 60 HZ, WHICH IS FURNISHED BY THE POWER PLANT, ELECTRIC, TRAILER
MOUNTED: AN/MJQ-44 (LIN P28143).
F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: IPF VAN-1 IS AN 8' X 40' LAND-SEA
CARGO CONTAINER MOUNTED ON A TRAILER, PULLED BY A 5 TON TRACTOR. CAN
BE TRANSPORTED BY C130, C141, AND C5. HOWEVER, FOR A C130, THE
BOGIE AND EXTERNAL ACCESSORIES MUST BE LOADED/UNLOADED WITH A K-
LOADER AT THE ORIGIN AND DESTINATION AIRFIELDS.
G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS:
(1) OPERATORS (TOTAL OF NINE):
6 SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ANALYST, MOS 98C, AND
3 ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENCE INTERCEPTOR/ANALYST, MOS 98J
(2) MAINTAINERS:
UNIT LEVEL MAINTENANCE: MOS 44E, 52C, 63S
DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE: MOS 33W, 44E, 52C, 63G, 63W

H. SPECIAL NOTES:
(1) BOING IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PUBLICATION IN AR 71-13.
(2) ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNIT (LAST COMPONENT ITEM), MODEL
ECU-121, IS COEI, RATIO 1:1, FOR EACH IPF. IT IS A COMMERCIAL ITEM,
AND DUE TO THE LIMITED PROJECTED PROCUREMENT OF THE IPF VAN-1, NO LIN
WILL BE REQUESTED.
(3) THE BASE ITEM IN ALL AERIAL EXPLOITATION BATTALIONS IS
GUARDRAIL V (GRV). THE HISTORY OF THE GUARDRAIL FAMILY FOLLOWS:
GRV WAS ORIGINALLY REQUIRED IN FOUR BASIC VARIATIONS: ONE
EACH WAS SCHEDULED TO BE FIELDED AT HUNTER AAF, GA, FORT HOOD, TX,
KOREA AND USAREUR.
AT HUNTER AAF, GRV WAS REPLACED BY GR/CS SYSTEM 1 (TOE
34418A100).
AT KOREA, GRV WAS REPLACED IN TOE 34418L300.
FOR OPERATION DESERT STORM A FIFTH VARIATION (TOE 34418A400)
WAS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE GRV--THEN IT WAS REASSIGNED TO USAREUR.
AT FT HOOD, GRV WAS REPLACED BY IGRV (TOE 34418A500) WHICH
IS NOW BEING REPLACED BY THE GR/CS SYSTEM 2 (TOE 34418A200).

Z38388 (M087MB), Z38320 (M087MC).
(5) ALL QUICKLOOK PERSONNEL WERE REPLACED USING M087AA.
GR/CS EQUIPMENT WAS REPLACED WITH THE OTHER BOIPS.
(6) GR/CS SYSTEM 2 CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING LINS:
Z48689 (M096AA), Z48757 (M096AB), Z48825 (M096AC),
