DESCRIPTION
The Test Equipment Modernization (TEMOD) program replaces obsolete General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment with new state-of-the-art equipment. This new equipment reduces the proliferation of test equipment, modernizes the Army’s current existing inventory and strongly supports other weapon systems. Acquisitions are commercial items that have significant impact on readiness, power projection, safety and training operations of the Army, Army Reserve and National Guard. The TEMOD program has procured 38 products that replace more than 334 models.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
TEMOD improves the readiness of Army weapon systems; minimizes test, measurement and diagnostic equipment proliferation and obsolescence; and reduces operations and support costs.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Equipment includes:
Oscilloscope, Bench Top (OS-305/U): High sampling rate bench top digital oscilloscope with a frequency range of DC to 1 GHz
Radar Test Set Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) Upgrade Kit and Radar Test Set with Mode S Enhanced and Mode 5
Cryptography (TS-4530A/UPM): Personnel use this equipment to perform pre-flight checks on aviation and missile transponders and interrogators to alleviate potential fratricide concerns
Multimeter (AN/GSM-437): Enables quick, reliable troubleshooting that positively affects operational availability
Radio Test Set (AN/PRM-36): Diagnoses the condition of various radios in the field
Oscilloscope (OS-307/U): Handheld portable oscilloscope with a frequency range of DC to 200 MHz
Telecommunication System Test Set (TS-4544/U): Measures and displays information related to digital transmissions
Radio Frequency Power Test Set (TS-4548/P): Power meter for troubleshooting and repair of electronics that emit radio frequency radiation
Future TEMOD Projects: Upcoming TEMOD equipment includes an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, the TS-4558/U, which will include an optical power meter for testing of fiber-optic cables; a Spectrum Analyzer, the CM-523/U, measures frequency up to 26.5 GHz; and a Radio Test Set, the TS-4549/T, will test and troubleshoot Army Radios
