Installation kit for M1114 up-armored.


Pear Half-Mast,

Is there an installation kit to put the AN/VRC-97 mobile subscriber radio-telephone terminal (MSRT MSRT Malicious Software Removal Tool (Microsoft)

SGT L.C.N.

Dear Sergeant L.C.N.,

Good question and one I thought I'd better go to the radio installation kit guru, Joe Parayos at CECOM CECOM Communications Electronics Command (US Army)
CECOM National Center for Communications of the Civil Protection Agency
, to find an answer for. Here's what Joe (Joseph.Parayos@us.army.mil) had to say

"There is not a kit specifically designed for the MSRT to be put in the M1114 up-armored HMMWV. However, if the requirement is critical, the kit, NSN NSN National Stock Number

 5895-01261-2901, for the M1025 armored armament carrier will work.

"Put the mounting tray on the curbside sponson spon·son

1. Any of several structures that project from the side of a boat or ship, especially a gun platform.

2. A short, curved, air-filled projection on the hull of a seaplane, imparting stability in the water.
 just like you would on any other HMMWV. However, instead of using an antenna tower mounted on the sponson, use a whip antenna installed on the roadside rear of the vehicle. You'll find instructions in TB 11-2300-480-12.

"There is a problem, however. The M1114 uses a dual installation kit for the SINCGARS SINCGARS Single Channel Ground to Air Radio System (US DoD)
SINCGARS Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System
. Dual radios require two antennas. One of those antennas goes on the roadside rear, cabled through the rear wall of the M1114, which is where the MSRT antenna needs to be cabled.

"So, you will either have to run with one SINCGARs radio or put another hole in the hatchback. Since another hole may degrade the overall condition of your M1114, we can't authorize it. That's a call your commander on the scene will need to make.

"If you do add another antenna, make sure they don't cross or touch."

Tanks, Joe, for answering this question and thanks. Sergeant, L.C.N., for asking it.
