What is NATO Supply Classification Class 5985?

NSC 5985 is the NATO Supply Classification Class (also known as Federal Supply Class FSC 5985 in the USA) for supply items codified in the category of Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment.

Which Federal Supply Group is FSC 5985 in?

FSC 5985 is in Federal Supply Group (FSG) 59 which contains Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.

Which NATO Supply Classification Group is NSC 5985 in?

NSC 5985is in NATO Supply Classification Group (NSG) 59 which contains Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.

A Mast is an item essentially of columnar shape, having a single footing or mounting base, used to support another item. It may include accessories such as guys, insulators, and collars. See also TOWER. For similar items of this type used to carry power and/or communication lines, see POLE, LINE CONSTRUCTION (as modified)

What is a Mast Section?

A Mast Section is an item that is specially designed and fabricated to be readily assembled together with other sections to form a MAST.

An Antenna is an item consisting of a conductor or a system of conductors specifically designed to radiate and/or receive electromagnetic waves in free space. May include beam-forming devices, drive motors, synchros, radome, and associated mechanical structure.

What is a Radio Frequency Transmission Line?

A Radio Frequency Transmission Line (LINE,RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSION) is an item designed primarily for the conduction of radio frequency energy, and consisting of two or more conductors supported in fixed spatial relationship(s) along their own length. Since the characteristic impedance of the line is determined by the spatial relationships of the conductors, which are sufficiently rigid to maintain these relationships between supports, the configuration of the item is usually not susceptible to mechanical manipulation; that is, it is not normally flexible. Includes a single conductor inclosed in an outer concentric conductor (coaxial) or two or more conductors laid parallel. All types have low loss or special characteristics at high frequencies. May include fittings or terminations. For items having continuous homogeneous dielectric, see CABLE, RADIO FREQUENCY. See also LINE SECTION, RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSION.

What is a Mast Accessory Kit?

A Mast Accessory Kit (ACCESSORY KIT,MAST) is a collection of items for setting up a mast, such as guy reels, winch, guy stakes, list of contents and bag.

NATO Supply Class 5985 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

NATO Supply Class 5985 specifically focuses on Antennas, Waveguides, And Related Equipment. This class includes various types of antennas and waveguides used in communication systems, radar systems, and other electronic equipment.

Antennas are devices used to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves, allowing for wireless communication. They come in different forms such as dipole antennas, parabolic antennas, and array antennas.

Waveguides, on the other hand, are hollow metallic tubes or channels used to guide and transmit electromagnetic waves at microwave frequencies. They are commonly used in high-frequency applications, such as radar systems and satellite communications.

Related equipment in this class may include connectors, mounts, brackets, and other accessories used in the installation and operation of antennas and waveguides.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 5985 is to provide a standardized classification system for procurement and logistics purposes within NATO member countries. It helps ensure efficient management and coordination of the supply chain for antennas, waveguides, and related equipment in military and defense applications.
