This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 6-02.53 Techniques for Tactical Radio Operations January 2016 replaces Field Manual (FM) 6-02.53, Tactical Radio Operations and expands on the foundation of tactical radios operations found in FM 6-02, Signal Support to Operations. ATP 6-02.53 incorporates numerous changes. The Integrated Tactical Networking Environment is a combination and evolution of all three concepts through the integration of the software based networking radio technologies, and mission command mounted and mobile applications management. Communications and mobility are key enablers of mission command in support of the execution of successful unified land operations. Communications must support the Army's aim to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage over the enemy in sustained land operations. Army forces must be able to move repeatedly and communicate. Tactical situations change rapidly during sustained land operations, requiring tactical radios that are versatile and readily adaptable to rapidly changing tactical situations. Communications in support of unified land operations require the employment of communications capabilities at squad level and higher echelons. Communications at the squad level enables communication and situational awareness at the lowest level possible. ATP 6-02.53 contains 12 chapters and 9 appendices- Ch 1 provides an overview of tactical radios, tactical radio networks, capabilities, and network management. Ch 2 addresses the employment of tactical radios at all echelons throughout the Army. Ch 3 addresses the tactical radio platforms and associated waveforms that Army forces employ at all echelons across all phases of operations. Ch 4 discusses the waveform and waveform application functional component of the tactical networking environment. Ch 5 describes the commercial-off-the-shelf very high frequency radios used to support tactical radio operations. Ch 6 addresses the ultrahigh frequency radios and systems that play a major role in network centric warfare. Ch 7 addresses the Army single channel tactical satellite capabilities associated with the legacy and enduring radio platform and planning considerations. Ch 8 addresses the airborne radios employed to provide communications for ground-to-air operations as well as air-to-air and air-to-sea missions. Ch 9 addresses various other tactical radio systems employed to enable communication and situational awareness during the conduct of operations. Ch 10 addresses antenna techniques, concepts, terms, types, effects, and provides examples of antenna field repairs. Ch 11 addresses key management techniques relative to protecting voice, data, and video information over tactical radio networks. Ch 12 addresses electronic warfare and the electronic protection techniques used to prevent enemy jamming and intrusion into friendly communications systems. App A provides a description of frequency modulation networks.

Book Army Techniques Publication Atp 6 02 54 Techniques for Satellite Communications June 2017

Download or read book Army Techniques Publication Atp 6 02 54 Techniques for Satellite Communications June 2017 written by United States Government US Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 6-02.54 Techniques For Satellite Communications June 2017 ATP 6-02.54, Techniques for Satellite Communications, identifies and explains the role of SATCOM as a part of the Army's transport layer for connection to Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) services. ATP 6-02.54 expands on the doctrinal foundations and tenets found in FM 6-02, Signal Support to Operations. The vision for the Department of Defense Information Network-Army (DODIN-A) is the employment of an end-to-end network that provides assured global mission command and enables the Army to fight and win in a contested and congested operating environment. This network seamlessly integrates services and capabilities from strategic to tactical echelons and enables all warfighting functions. The network is a warfighting platform that enables the mission command system to integrate joint combined arms and all elements of combat power; support leaders' ability to understand, visualize, and describe the operational environment, problems, and approaches to solving them; support commanders' ability to make decisions and direct action toward a desired end state; assess understanding of the problem and adequacy of the operational approach and subsequent plans and level of progress. The network is tailorable and will adapt based on phases of the operation to provide assured mission command in home station, en route, and in deployed environments. Deployed environments include training, exercises, security cooperation engagement, initial entry, and combined arms maneuver, which may employ minimal to robust force packages requiring the network to adjust to provide appropriate services at the point of need under all conditions. We will seek to provide services at point of need and, through home station mission command, reduce the deployed footprint and operational risk. The ability to predict the actions of enemies and adversaries enables proactive defense and assures access to critical data and the security of our networks and systems, which is essential to our mission success. The network must embrace common standards from a joint and multi-national perspective that allow the addition of capabilities and systems while reducing, not increasing complexity of the network. The network must provide an advantage and not a burden while providing enhanced speed and agility to our warfighting formations. The SATCOM network capabilities provided by Signal Soldiers play a vital role in supporting Army operations by providing an information advantage. Today's Army demands the reliable network transport provided by SATCOM to receive information for situational understanding necessary to conduct Army operations. Network transport and information services is a core competency of the Signal Corps. Planners integrate satellite assets to support the commander and the operational mission plan. SATCOM capabilities are vital to increasing the Army's combat power and that of its joint, interorganizational, and multinational partners. As the evolution of capabilities make our networks less complex and more defensible, we will evolve our doctrine to describe the current and effective employment of our networks and systems in a congested and contested operating environment.

Book Army Techniques Publication 3 34 81 Mcwp 3 17 4 Engineer Reconnaissance  March 2016

Download or read book Army Techniques Publication 3 34 81 Mcwp 3 17 4 Engineer Reconnaissance March 2016 written by Us Army, United States Government and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATP 3-34.81 provides techniques for the performance of tactical and technical engineer reconnaissance in support of military activities that are conducted across the full range of military operations. This publication supports doctrine found in ADP 3-0, FM 3-34, ADRP 5-0, and ADRP 6-0. Although primarily oriented on the brigade combat team (BCT)/regimental combat team (RCT) based Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) and below, the principal audience for ATP 3-34.81 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army and Marine Corps headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army and Marine Corps will also use this publication. The three engineer disciplines are combat (with the capabilities and activities of mobility, countermobility, and survivability [M/CM/S]), general, and geospatial engineering. These disciplines include significant reconnaissance capabilities. The three engineer disciplines include extensive discussion on integrating the planning for, and conduct of, engineer reconnaissance support within the tactical operations of the combined arms team. This publication discusses the capability resident within combat engineer units to form and employ engineer reconnaissance teams (ERTs). It also describes the capability resident within general engineer elements to form and employ ERTs, augment combat engineer ERTs, or provide assessment and survey teams. Finally, geospatial engineering enables reconnaissance and may play a large role, especially during the planning process. Engineer reconnaissance, like chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and other technical applications, is not a form of reconnaissance. Engineer reconnaissance is a focused application of special or unique capabilities supporting reconnaissance, and it is applicable to all forms of reconnaissance. The engineer disciplines provide reconnaissance capabilities that vary in linkages to warfighting functions, degrees of technical expertise, and effort applied to the assigned mission and tasks. Engineer reconnaissance is directly linked to geospatial intelligence because combat and general engineer units use technical measuring or survey devices to confirm, correct, or update the accuracy of available geospatial information. After analysis and comparison against other intelligence collections, this updated geospatial information becomes intelligence, which feeds the commander's decisionmaking process. Finally, this publication is written with the acknowledgement that the operational environment is more variable now. Engineers must be prepared to go into any operational environment and perform a full range of reconnaissance tasks in support of the maneuver commander while dealing with a wide range of threats and other influences. It builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through nearly a dozen years of sustained military operations and exercises. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security. This publication consists of five chapters and six appendixes that discuss the integration of engineer reconnaissance within the operational planning, execution, and assessment process that is presented in ADRP 5-0, ADRP 6-0, and MCWP 5-1.
