AN/TSQ-216 Remote Landing Site Tower (RLST)
RLST is a Tactical Mobile Control Tower. It is housed in a
modified S-250 Shelter with an extendible roof which is raised
for operation and lowered for transport. The system is
configured for two operator positions and a supervisor and is
fully self contained. Communications equipment is provided for
VHF/UHF AM, VHF-FM and HF-SSB frequency bands. The
radios can be remoted by fiber optics up to 3 km from the
tower. A towed trailer transports dual diesel generators,
communications rack, ancillary and support equipment. The
TSQ-216 mounts on a HMMWV, CUCV or other suitable
vehicle. It drives-on/backs-off or backs-on/drives-off a C-130
aircraft. It is helicopter liftable by UH-60L, CH-46 or CH-53
helicopters.
