The OE-349 Antenna Mast Group (AMG) is mounted on an M927 5-Ton Cargo Truck.
It includes four 4 kW antennas in two pairs on remotely controlled masts.
Emplacement of the AMG can have no greater than a 0.5-degree roll and a 10-degree crossroll.
The antennas can be controlled in azimuth, and the masts can be elevated up to 100 feet 11 inches (30.76 m) above ground level.
Mounted at the base of each pair of antennas are two high-power amplifiers associated with the antennas and the radios in the co-located shelter.
It is through these antennas that the ECS and ICC send their respective UHF "shots" to create the PADIL network.
The polarity of each shot can be changed by adjusting the "feedhorn" to a vertical or horizontal position.
This enables a greater chance of communication shots reaching their intended target when terrain obstacles may otherwise obscure the signal.
