M1102 trailers at Ft Mead for MIST Surface Antenna Group (SAG)

[JBT]

Recently there were several M1102 trailers on GL at Ft Meade with equipment mounted on them.
Someone wondered what the equipment was.
I have not seen one up close yet, but did some research.

The trailers data plate lists the trailer as part of AN/TSQ-219(V)2.
Part number A3254715v2.

It also lists:

POWER UNIT, DIESEL ENGINE DRIVEN, HIGH MOBILITY TRAILER MOUNTED,
10 kW, 60 Hz, PU-798A (NSN 6115-01-413-381
in which case the equipment is the switch box. TM 9-6115-660-13&P

TACTICAL EXPLOITATION SYSTEM-FORWARD (TES-F)/
AN/TSQ-219(V)2, BOIP M101AA, LIN Z16057 IS A TACTICAL SUITE OF
EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH THE PRIMARY MISSION IS EXPLOITATION, ANALYSIS,
AND DISSEMINATION OF NEAR-REAL-TIME INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION.


1. TES-F IS COMPRISED TEN (COMPONENT) WORKSTATIONS, MTD IN
SIX NON-STANDARD (COMPONENT) SHELTERS, MTD ON SIX OF THE SEVEN
(ASIOE) M998/HIGH MOBILITY MULTIPURPOSE WHEELED VEHICLES (HMMWV)/LIN
T61494. THE SEVENTH HMMWV (EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT VEHICLE (ETV)) DOES
NOT CARRY A SHELTER. TWO OF THE SEVEN HMMWV PULL (ASIOE) 3/4 T.
TRAILERS/Z36272. THERE IS ALSO ONE ASIOE 2 1/2T. LMTV TRUCK/M1078/
LIN T60081, WHICH TOWS THE 2T. (COMPONENT) MIST (MODULATED
INTEROPERABLE SURFACE TERMINAL) SURFACE ANTENNA GROUP (SAG) TRAILER.

2. TES-F MAY BE DEPLOYED IN ONE OF 5 CONFIGURATIONS EMPLOYING
COMBINATIONS OF THE NINE FUNCTIONAL SUBSYSTEM COMPONENTS.
EMPLOYMENT CONFIGURATIONS INCLUDE:

a. BASIC:
- THE FORWARD COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLE (FCV): SHELTER-MTD HMMWV TOWING
60KW GEN. SHELTER CONTAINS 2 WORKSTATIONS, CABLING, ETC.
- THE COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT VEHICLE (CSV): SHELTER-MTD HMMWV CON-
TAINING WORKSPACE, CABLING, ETC.

b. FULL SIGINT:
- THE FCV
- THE CSV
- THE MiDAS VEHICLE (MDV): HMMWV TOWING COMPONENT MiDAS TRAILER

c. NATIONAL IMINT:
- THE FCV
- THE CSV
- THE IMAGERY SUPPORT VEHICLE(ISV): HMMWV TOWING COMPONENT 60KW GEN

d. FULL IMINT:
- THE FCV
- THE CSV
- THE ISV
- THE IMAGERY PROCESSING VEHICLE(IPV): HMMWV TOWING ASIOE REMOTE
EQUIPMENT TRAILER
- THE MIST ELECTRONICS VEHICLE (MEV): HMMWV TOWING COMPONENT
30KW GEN
- THE MIST SURFACE ANTENNA GROUP (SAG) TRAILER: TRANSPORTING THE
MIST DATA LINK ANTENNA
- THE FAMILY OF MEDIUM TACTICAL VEHICLES (FMTV2): TOWS THE MIST SAG

e. FULL FORWARD:
- THE FCV
- THE CSV
- THE MDV
- THE ISV
- THE IPV
- THE MEV
- THE MIST SAG TRAILER
- THE FMTV2
- THE EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT VEHICLE (ETV): HMMWV TOWING COMPONENT
60KW GEN

So, the trailer must have been set up to carry the
POWER UNIT, DIESEL ENGINE DRIVEN, HIGH MOBILITY TRAILER MOUNTED,
10 kW, 60 Hz, PU-798A (NSN 6115-01-413-381
