Pod Long Range Broadcast System (LRBS)

Also known as
  • LRBS
  • Pod LRBS
  • Pod Long Range Broadcast System
  • Long-Range Broadcast System
  • Pod Long-Range Broadcast System
  • MMP-H LRBS

El pod Long Range Broadcast System (LRBS) es un pod externo estadounidense de transmisión asociado con el EC-130J Commando Solo y con la modernización Super J Multi-Mission Platform-Heavy. LRBS encaja dentro de la familia más amplia de transmisiones para operaciones militares de apoyo a la información, mientras que la configuración EC-130J combinaba la carga útil externa en pod con un sistema interno roll-on, CEASAR y capacidad de transmisión y ataque electrónico definida por software.

Broadcast System Context

LRBS aparece tanto en una amplia familia de sistemas de transmisión de SOCOM como en la instalación más específica de pod externo EC-130J MMP-H. El pod funciona como una carga útil de misión que extiende un sistema de transmisión de aeronave, no como un sistema de combate documentado de forma independiente.

ContextoDetalle documentadoNota de alcance
Familia LRBS de SOCOMMaterial presupuestario general describe LRBS como una familia de sistemas de transmisión para emisiones MISO en AM, FM, TV, onda corta, UHF/VHF y telefonía celular, incluido trabajo de FM y telefonía celular basado en pods.Esto respalda la función de familia de transmisión y la línea tecnológica, no una afirmación de uso en un conflicto nombrado.
Instalación EC-130J MMP-HAir & Space Forces identifica LRBS como un elemento externo en pod del sistema digital de transmisión EC-130J MMP-H junto con CEASAR y una carga útil interna roll-on.Esta es la conexión documentada más clara entre LRBS y el portador EC-130J catalogado.
