AN/TSC-93

By Editor | February 27, 2008

The AN/TSC-93 is a sheltered, 4.5mbps terminal which supplies voice, data, and teletype communications to the ground, air, and logistics elements of a landing force. The terminal operates in conjunction with the AN/TSC-85 to enable the user to transmit or receive channels of voice communications and order wire. It also digitally interfaces with the externally multiplexed TRI-TAC group. The inter-leaver allows for substitution of 16/32 Kb/s of data in each of the voice channels. The AN/TSC-93 can operate with an organic AS-3036/TSC, AS-3036A/TSC, OE-361 (QRSA), AS-4429C (LAMDA) or AS-4429 (LHGXA) antenna. The AN/TSC-93D has CMA capability.

The AN/TSC-93 and AN/TSC-85 combination provide landing force Marines with long-haul defense communications entry as well as intra-landing force communications. The AN/TSC-93 is deployed as a non-nodal, point-to-point terminal operating in a tactical communications system with the AN/TSC-85 terminal to provide direct field communications on tactical trunking networks. Up to four AN/TSC-93 terminals serve as spokes with one AN/TSC-85 in a hub-and-spoke configuration. External connectors for field telephones and 70 Mhz wideband are available.
