1.18 THEORY OF OPERATION.
The CBPS is supplied with communications equipment that allows the crew to maintain radio
communications during operation. The radios, supplied by the gaining unit as part of its Basis of Issue,
functions similar to any vehicle-mounted radios during mobile operations. The driver and/or passenger have
the ability to fully control the radios. They also have the ability to activate/deactivate the RRA stored inside
the LMS. The RRA allows most of the radio functions to be transferred inside CBPS during static operations
which leaves driver and passenger free to perform CBPS mission-essential tasks.
a. Mobile Mode. During mobile mode, radios are operated as any vehicle-mounted radio by driver and
passenger according to TM 11-5820-890-10-1.
b. Transition from Mobile Mode to Static Mode. When CBPS is parked and crew prepares to deploy
CBPS, driver and/or passenger switch control of radios to LMS crew. This relieves driver and/or
passenger from responsibility of monitoring radio traffic and frees them to perform other tasks.
c.
Static Mode. During static operations, LMS crew is responsible for monitoring and controlling radio
traffic. The RRA allows LMS crew to hear both long-range and short-range radio transmissions via
two loudspeakers. The LMS crew can fully control (transmit, receive, channel select, frequency hop)
long-range radio using HRCRD. The short-range radio is limited to transmit and receive functions
during static mode operations.
