About: AN/FLR-9

An Entity of Type: System104377057, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The AN/FLR-9 is a type of very large circular "Wullenweber" antenna array, built at eight locations during the cold war for HF/DF direction finding of high priority targets. The worldwide network, known collectively as "Iron Horse", could locate HF communications almost anywhere on Earth. Because of the exceptionally large size of its outer reflecting screen (1056 vertical steel wires supported by 96 120-foot (37 m) towers), the FLR-9 was commonly referred to by the nickname "Elephant Cage." Constructed in the early to mid 1960s, in May 2016 the last operational FLR-9 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska was decommissioned. It can be confused with the US Navy's AN/FRD-10, which also used a Wullenweber antenna.

  • 象の檻（ぞうのおり）(Elephant Cage) とは、巨大な円形ケージ型アンテナを形容している語。正式にはWullenweberアンテナと呼ばれている。AN/FRD-10、GTE／シルバシア製AN/FLR-9として米軍に制式採用したものの通称であるが、同様の形状をした自衛隊などのアンテナにも使用される言葉である。そのサイズや全方向受信のための、円形形状がゾウを入れる檻のように見えることから付けられた。世界各地に存在した。通信傍受人工衛星のない時代に鉄のカーテンや竹のカーテン内部の生の情報を得るためのきわめて重要な施設であった。 (ja)
