  1. SINCGARS FAMILIARIZATION AND OPERATION Primary Instructor: SGT SPENCER Assist Instructor: SGT LEWIS 549th MP CO

  2. TASK: Communicate via Tactical Radio in a Secure Net CONDITIONS: Give an operational radio net with an SOI, fill device with appropriate fills, fill cable, and an operational distant station STANDARDS: Establish voice communications with the distant tactical radio/network within three minutes References: TM 11-5820-890-10-8 TM 11-5820-890-10-2

  3. METHODS OF COMMUNICATION VISUAL SIGNALS (Hand signals, Semaphore) SOUND SIGNALS (Speaking from one person to another) MESSENGER (Sending another person to deliver either a written or voice message) WIRED SIGNALS (Land-line telephone, DSVT/DNVT, TA-312, TA-1) RADIO COMMUNICATIONS (SINCGARS, PRC-77, PRC-127)

  4. PURPOSE Provide familiarization / refresher training on SINCGARS radios through conference style instruction and hands – on practical exercises. Ensure personnel are capable of operating SINCGARS radios in Frequency Hopping Modes. Ensure personnel are trained to perform both hot and cold start net openings.

  5. OVERVIEW • BASIC COMMUNICATIONS • SINCGARS OVERVIEW • NON-SECURE COMMUNICATIONS • SECURE COMMUNICATIONS

  6. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS ADVANTAGES Fast Covers long distance Secure capabilities Send the message to large amounts of people at once DISADVANTAGES Weather Terrain Inexperience can compromise Requires a power source

  7. SINgle Channel Ground Airborne Radio System WHAT DOES SINCGARS MEAN?

  8. Models PA No PA AN/VRC-87F Short Range AN/VRC-88F Short Range and Manpack AN/VRC-89F Short and Long Range AN/VRC-91F Short and Long Range plus Manpack AN/VRC-92F Long /Long Range AN/PRC-119F AN/VRC-90F Long Range RT-1523E

  9. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Range: LO: 200M – 400M MED: 400M – 5KM HI: 5-10KM PA: 40KM Antennas: Whip manpack (AS-3683, AS-4266) Whip vehicular (AS –3900/A, AS-3916) Ground (OE-254, QEAM, COM201B) 8 Single Channels 6 FH Channels

  10. SINCGARS (RT-1523E)

  11. RECEIVER TRANSMITTER

  12. Batteries BA-5590

  13. Face Panel

  14. SINCGARS ASIP Keypad • [CMSC] (#1) used to scroll COMSEC keys TEK used in channels 1-5 and may be used in channel 6. KEK used in chan. 6. • [RCU] (#2) used to convert to a remote system. Can operate up to 4 km away. • [SYNC] (#3) used during FH to sync RT to net. • [FREQ] use to call channel database to display. “FILL” means channel is empty. With Function switch in SQ. [FREQ] and #7 used to set backlights. • [ERF/OFFSET] key not recommended. Use air net synchronization instead. [OFST] is a SC anti-jam procedure. • [SA] & [GPS] keys not used at this time.

  15. SINCGARS ASIP Keypad • [DATA] key (#4) allows you to set data rate • [CHG] (change) key in conjunction with [DATA], [OFFSET] or [CMSC] keys to scroll through data/options. • [CID] key is not used at this time. • [LOUT] key rarely used. • [TIME] key used to enter Julian date and sync time. • [BATT/CALL] key used to set and check battery life in a dismount radio. Also used for commo between RT and RCU. • [STO] key used to place data into memory. • [LOAD] key use to load data into holding memory and retrieve data from permanent memory. • [CLR/MENU] key is used with other keys to delete entries or stored data.

  16. SINCGARS ASIP Keypad • Set Volume – (5) • Set Channel - (MAN, CUE or 1-6) • Set Power - (low, med, hi or PA) • Set Mode - Single Channel(SC) and Frequency Hopping (FH) • Set COMSEC – Plain Text (PT) and Cipher Text (CT) • Set [FCTN] switch to LD • Load SC frequencies • Press [FREQ] key • Press [CLR] key • Enter 3 digits for FH and 5 digits for SC frequencies • Press [STO]

  17. SINCGARS (ASIP)Power-Up Procedures • Set FCTN Switch to: • [Z] “Zeroize” • Radio displays “GOOD” • Switch to [LD] (Load) • Load COMSEC • Set Frequency • Load Julian Date/Zulu Time

  18. Part 1- Single Channel/Plain Text

  19. SC SETTINGS CHAN TO REQUIRED CHANNEL COMSEC TO PT MODE TO SC FCTN TO LD

  20. LOAD YOUR FREQUENCIES Screen will read 1- Press FREQ 00000 2- Press CLR - - - - - 3- Enter frequency 54900 4- Press STO Screen flashes once, frequency is loaded 5- Turn FCTN switch to SQ ON and enter the net with your call sign

  21. Part 2- Frequency Hop

  22. FH SETTINGS COMSEC TO CT AN/CYZ-10 to FILL Via W-4 cable MODE TO FH CHAN TO 1 FCTN TO LD

  23. DATA/FILL CONNECTORS • FILL- To connect fill devices (KYK-13, KYK-15, AN/CYZ-10) to load FH data and COMSEC • DATA- To connect hand mike (H-250/u or H-350/u) or to connect RT to mounting bracket in vehicular use.

  24. Automated Net Control Device (AN/CYZ-10)

  25. Automated Net Control Device (ANCD) Key Pad

  26. LOAD YOUR HOPSET AN/CYZ-10 Screen will read • Turn AN/ CYZ-10 on • Select Radio • Select Send • Select Radio Soi Radio supervisor Send Receive Database setup Comsec Time send to: Radio Ancd Stu Pc Select: iCom Nonicom Abn Rcu Haveq

  27. LOAD YOUR HOPSET AN/CYZ-10 Screen will read • Select iCom • Connect ANCD to RT with the W-4 cable, press ENTR key • Ensure FCTN switch is set to LD, Press ENTR key Connect to RT AUD/FILL Connector Set FCTN switch to LD on RT Do you want to include time? (Y/N) AN/ CYZ-10 Screen will read Press [LOAD] on RT • Select Y

  28. LOAD YOUR HOPSET BEFORE YOU PRESS [LOAD] YOU MUST KEY THE HANDMIKE UNTIL YOU HEAR A LONG, STEADY TONE. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOU WILL GET THE MESSAGE “HANDSHAKE FAILED”. IF YOU GET THAT MESSAGE, START OVER, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEY THE HANDMIKE.

  29. LOAD YOUR HOPSET AN/CYZ-10 Screen will read • Press LOAD (0 key) on the RT keypad • CYZ-10 screen will scroll through the various keys and hopsets it is loading. When done, it will read Transfer in progress ICOM transfer successful

  30. Vehicular Amplifier Adapter (VAA) • VAA serves as a vehicle mount for the SINCGARS ASIP • As an Internet Controller (INC) serves as link to TI • If a platform’s SINCGARS/VAA/INC is not “up”, that platform will not appear in any SA displays No Power Amplifier Power Amplifier

  31. Components MOUNTING BASE (MT-6352) ICOM RECEIVER / TRANSMITTER (RT-1523 (C)/U) (PLAIN A, B, C, D) BATTERY CASE/ INTERCONNECTING BOX (CY-8346) MANPACK ANTENNA (AS-3683) MOUNTING ADAPTER (AM-7239) POWER AMPLIFIER (AM-7238) VEHICLE ANTENNA (AS-3900) CONTROL - MONITOR (C-11291/VRC) AMPLIFIER MOUNTING BASE (MT-6353)

  32. MOST COMMON PROWORDS ROGER: I have clearly received and understand your last transmission OVER: This is the end of my transmission to you and a response is necessary OUT: This is the end of my transmission and the conversation. Do not respond. CORRECTION: There was an error in my transmission, I will now continue with the last correct word BREAK: This is a long transmission, I am now separating the text from the other parts of the message

  33. CALL SIGNS Contain two parts Prefix-Stands for unit or organization Suffix-Stands for the individual • Examples ENFORCER 6 - Company Commander ENFORCER 7 - Company First Sergeant ENFORCER 3-6 - 3rd Platoon Leader ENFORCER 3-1 – 3rd Platoon / 1st Squad
