What is a Television Camera?

A Television Camera (CAMERA,TELEVISION) is a single component specifically designed to convert visual images (either still or in motion), utilizing an optical system and a light sensitive electron tube or light sensitive semiconductor elements, into electrical impulses. Control equipment may be included, For items with integral recording or integral recording and reproducing equipment, see CAMERA-RECORDING, VIDEO.

What is a Radio Transmitter?

A Radio Transmitter (TRANSMITTER,RADIO) is a single component specifically designed to generate electrical signals of specific frequency and form, which, when fed to an antenna, will propagate radio frequency electromagnetic waves in space. May include facilities for amplification and/or integral modulator. See also TRANSMITTER, RADAR.

What is a Radio Receiver?

A Radio Receiver (RECEIVER,RADIO) is a receiver used for reception of radio frequency electromagnetic waves transmitted through space exclusive of countermeasure, facsimile, loran, radar, television, and other specialized systems.

What is a Radio Receiver-Transmitter?

A Radio Receiver-Transmitter (RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER,RADIO) is a single component capable of performing the functions of a RECEIVER, RADIO; and TRANSMITTER, RADIO.

What is a Radio Receiving Set?

A Radio Receiving Set (RECEIVING SET,RADIO) is a complete electronic set specifically designed to intercept, demodulate and reproduce the radio frequency electromagnetic waves propagated by radio transmitter(s).

A Radio Set is a fixed number of components and/or items, not all having the same basic name, utilizing radio frequency electromagnetic waves in space to carry two-way intelligence. Excludes RADAR SET; FACSIMILE SET; RECEIVING SET, RADIO; RECEIVER-TRANSMITTER, RADIO; and RECEIVING SET, TELEVISION.

What is a Television Monitor?

A Television Monitor (MONITOR,TELEVISION) is an item for the display of images transmitted over a closed electrical circuit by a compatible television camera. The item may include an audio channel, but does not include the radio frequency components required for reception of video signals from a television transmitting set. For items that include these components, see RECEIVER (1), TELEVISION. For items that provide similar data by means of other than closed circuit television, see INDICATOR, VIDEO.

NATO Supply Class 5820 is a classification for Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne. It falls under NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

This supply class includes a wide range of equipment used for radio and television communication purposes. It encompasses devices such as radios, transceivers, broadcasting equipment, antennas, amplifiers, receivers, and other related communication equipment.

The equipment in this class is specifically designed for non-airborne applications, meaning it is not intended for use in aircraft or airborne operations. It is primarily used for ground-based communication systems, including both civilian and military applications.

The purpose of this classification system is to provide a standardized method for categorizing and organizing military supplies and equipment. By using NATO Supply Classes and Groups, it becomes easier for member nations to identify, procure, and maintain the necessary equipment for their military operations.

FSC 5820 Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne - New Zealand (NZ)

Includes Telemetering Equipment.

Excludes Home Type Radio and Television Equipment.

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
