FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/ASQ-10 is similar in function to the AN/AS-8.
Magnetic Detecting Set AN/ASQ-10 is designed to
detect submarines from low-flying aircraft.
The
presence of a submarine is indicated by deflections of
the inked trace on a paper chart. The AN/ASQ-10
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
determines the presence of a submarine by measuring
the change produced in the earth's magnetic field. The
Power Requirements: 115 5 vac, 1-ph, 380 to
change in the earth's magnetic field is measured by
420 cps, 1.9 amp, 145w, 0.78 pf (lagging); 28 vdc,
means of a saturable core magnetometer.
The
6.6w
magnetometer element, when held parallel to the earth's
Operating Temperature: -65 to +160 deg F
magnetic field, produces a signal when any change in
this field occurs. When a signal is produced, the signal
