DESCRIPTION
The Test Equipment Modernization (TEMOD) program replaces
obsolete General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment with new stateof-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:
• High Frequency Signal Generator (SG-1366/U): This is a signal
source to test electronic receivers and transmitters of all types
throughout the Army and provide standards to compare signals
• 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): The multimeter enables quick, reliable
troubleshooting that positively affects operational availability
• Radio Test Set (AN/PRM-36): This set diagnoses the condition of
various radios in the field
• Ammeter (ME-572/U): The ammeter measures and displays
alternating and direct current without interrupting the
measured circuit
• Telecommunication System Test Set (TS-4544/U): This set
measures and displays information related to digital transmissions
• Future TEMOD projects: Upcoming TEMOD equipment
includes two oscilloscopes, the OS-305/U, a bench-top instrument,
and the OS-307/U a portable, hand-held instrument; the Radio
Frequency Power Test Set, the TS-4548/P, for general purpose digital
measurement of radio frequency power; and an Optical Time Domain
Reflectometer, the TS-4558/U which will include an optical power
meter for testing of fiber-optic cables
