Military radio communications

The paper shows the importance and traces the development of radio communication for the modern, highly mobile army. It describes the principal field radio equipments used in military communications and gives an account of their essential qualities. A description is given of the war-time efforts in design and production on these types of radio equipment and the measure of improvement achieved. The paper gives the trend of design in modern military radio equipment, showing the tendency to utilize very-high-frequency and super-high-frequency transmission in substitution for high frequency for many roles. It also indicates that frequency modulation, television, facsimile and integrated line and radio systems may form part of future development projects for military communications.
