As both systems are similar in basic de- 

 sign, only the installation is different, dis-

Equipment Description 



The Navy Transportable Terminal AN/ 

 TMQ-29 is a semi-trailer equipment van, (fig. 

 6-10). The van is equipped for towing. An S-Band 

 antenna assembly consisting of a ten-foot re- 

 flector and feed assembly are mounted on the 

 top rear of the van. The whole unit is designed 

 for compact transportation. The antenna can be 

 disassembled and stored in designated areas 

 in the van, while the pedestal is stowed on a 

 special carrying rack attached to the rear of 

 the van. The van can be towed over land by truck/ 

 tractor or it can be airlifted by a C5A, C141, 

 or equivalent aircraft. 



The equipment room (fig. 6-11) contains the 

 electrical racks, and the operating control sta- 

 tions and work areas for maintenance and ad- 

 ministrative duties.

The shipboard version, AN/SMQ-10, has two 

 antennas. They are normally mounted one each 

 on the port and starboard sides of the ship 

 just below the flight deck aft. The electronics 

 associated with the antenna are located im- 

 mediately adjacent to each antenna. The re- 

 ceiving-terminal equipment is located in another 

 space in the ship.
