EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES 4-101 System Overview The Persone! Locator System AN/AYD-1 (PLS) consists ofthe airborne Radio-Set Personnel Locator AN/ARS-6(V) (hereinafter relered to as the AN/ARS-6(V) and the ground-based Fladio Set. Using 2 predetermined Survivor ID Code, the AN/ARS-6(V) is designed to selectively locate and home-on a particular Radio Set. The Radio Set ‘capable of being located with minimum ation required trom the operator. The Radio Set is also capable of normal ‘wo-way communications. A Program Loader is used for pre-fight programming (consisting of the Surviver .D. Code ‘and two predetermined frequencies) of the Radio Set. : 4-10.1.1 PLSimertace. The commurication interface from the airbome AN/ARS-6(V) to the ground-based Flacio 7 Set is defined 2s a downlink. The communication interface irom the Radio Set» the ANARS-6(V) is defined 25 4-10.12 Radio Set Operation. The Radio Set functions as a survival radiofransnonder which receives = ; imerogation on an assigned UHF frequency (225.00 to 298.975 MHz), and transmis @ return message on e ‘same equeney. ‘The Radio Set also functions as 2 two-way radio for voice transmissions over Line-of-Sight paths. : The Radio Set transmits amplitude modulated (AM) voice on 121.5 MHz, 243.0 MHz, 282.8 MHz. Channel A (predetermined programmed frequency), or Channel B (predetemined programmed frequency) as selected by the Radio Set ChanneV/Mode selector. Mission success is dependent only upon the proper functioning of the operator's equipment and the equipment on 7 the rescue aiteratt. During most of the mission, the avionics equi ment functions as a transponder in response - ienogation requests. ‘This concent enhances the systems covertness and maximizes the operator's Radio Set pater life. The avionics system interrogates the operators Radio Set, thereby obtaining the range ard dracon E tb the operator. The piloVeopict updates the avionics system by using interrogations as the approach 10 te Soerator ie made. When the Search and Rescue (SAR) aircraft within 1-3 nautical miles of the operator, the : Photesplet may put the avionics system inthe continuous interrogation mode. The operator(s) can then commun, ; ane wih the rescue aircraft proving they are not in a high threat environment. If the operator is in @ high threat ‘envirenment, sence should be maintained until absolutely necessary. : “The Ratio Set must be programmed with a sixigit Survivor identification (ID) Code in order for the transponder tb arewer an itferrogaion. Aso. in the same manner the avionics system utizing the imerrogator (the ANAS” | Sq) must have the same Survivor ID Code programmed into &. Additionally, the two channels designated 25 ‘Channel A and Channel B must also have a frequency programmed into them in order for them to function. Stopramming of Channel A, Channel B, and the Survivor ID Code int the Radio Setis discussed in Chanter 2 of ; ‘his manual. 15TO 31R2-2PRC-112-4 NAVAIR 16-35PRC112-4 ‘TM 14-5820-1037-138P 4102 _ Mission Characteristics ‘The PLS is designed to iocate personnel on the ground (figure 1-1). It provides the capability to conduct “first-pass” rescue operations in a high threat environment and under adverse weatner conditions. The Radio Set reduces the ‘SAR mission tme needed for the rescue of several cowned aviators within a combat zone. t also increases the probabilty of success by decreasing the probability of detection by the enemy.
