GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1
INTRODUCfION
Thisdocumentdescribes the operationalaspectsoftheMultiFunction Switching Matrix (MFSM). See the companion
MaintenanceManual-Volume2, Part
# CIA-M-22544/B for
detailed maintenence and troubleshooting information. This
document, MFSM Operator's
Manual-
Volume1,presents
General Information, Functional Description, Controls and
Connectors, and Operating Procedures for the MFSM.
Installation procedures are covered in a separatepublication,
MFSM "Mark 5" Unpacking and Installation - Volume 3 (a
security clearance
of
Alpha III,orbetter is needed to gain
access to the installation document).
1.2
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The MFSM is housed in a ruggedized metal casing which is
designed for optimal operation in adverse environmental
conditions. See Figure
1-1
for a general view illustration
of
the MFSM. It features a sophisticated power supply,
Phnordman video matrix, transceivers, a solid-state video
recorder, telemetry guidance capabilities, and switching!
interface circuits.
1.2.1 Power Supply
Power is supplied by special transformers and adaptors that
automatically adjust to voltages utilized at a local site.
Because the MFSM is principally used in clandestine
operations, its transformer circuitry also detects and masks
power line analyzer device signals, rendering its presence

and location electronically invisible to voltage security
probes. Nickel cadmium battery packs are provided for
autonomous operation.
1.2.2 Phnordman Video Matrix
A Phnordman video matrix, consistingoffour monitors can
display anyone
of
the following system functions: target site
security monitors, video tape, telemetry guidance display,
and site surveillance cameras.
1.2.3 Long-Range Transceiver
A built-in long-range transceiver transmits and receives
encoded signals via a secured satellite uplink system
(satellites are in geosynchronous orbit). Highly advanced
Adaptive Differential Pulse Coded Modulation (ADPCM)
circuitryis usedto provide nearreal-timemanipulation
of
the
MFSM subsystems. When coupled with the satellite uplink,
the MFSM can be placed anywhere on the earth, and can be
controlled from any location. Transmission delays are
typically on the order
of
10.77
~secs,
duetoaverage
atmospheric propagation factors.
1.2.4 Short-Range Transceiver
Another transceiver is used to control a varietyofremote
equipment from the MFSM. This transceiver, which is part
of
the on-board Telemetry Guidance System (TGS), features
provisions for an interactive synthetic aperture radar display
of
objects within a 5 square mile radiusofthe unit. Mobile
Remote Units (MRUs), model numbers G-665 or better can
be operated, as well as most Subterranean Remote Units
(SRUs). See applicable documents for details on interface
requirements.
