Soldier Seeking Supplies

I received a curious comment to my post about Warlock Green. It's purportedly from a soldier in Iraq. (the ip# seems to verify this) The message is this,

I am a troop in Iraq and my unit broke the Ant. cable for the Warlock Green. I need the NSN for a S2 Antenna. So I can order one to replace the broken on and a list of NSN for the Warlock Green if I need to replace any other parts (i.e ant., cables or just need to know info) someone please respond.

At this point maybe I should back up a little and explain...

Last January I posted about my concern that no one was working on a way to electronically defeat IED's. From the perspective of someone who isn't an electrical engineer it seemed like such a thing would be relatively easy, especially if you didn't have to worry so much about accidentally causing interference with other electronics in an area. The two posts on the subject were, Electronic Countermeasures and Jamming IED's.

I received some really good responses to these posts. In fact, one was so good that I posted it as part of an update, IED Update.

Finally, in April, I saw that the military had awarded a contract to EDO Corporation to build devices to jam IED's. These devices are called, Warlock Green

Warlock Green emits a radio frequency that jams communications signals that detonate roadside bombs, called improvised explosive devices. EDO also manufactures a less sophisticated jammer called Warlock Red, said a Dec. 29 company statement.

EDO will start delivering Warlock Green to U.S. and coalition troops in Iraq in June, according to an industry official familiar with the device's fielding. William Walkowiak, the company's investor relations director, and the Army declined comment.

This reminds me of something I heard about the invasion of Grenada. A unit was pinned down and couldn't get their radio to work. Instead, they found access to a telephone and called long distance to Fort Bragg, NC. It doesn't surprise me that a soldier is trolling the internet looking for parts to fix some necessary equipment.

If this comment is legitimate, apparently, someone needs a new antenna cable for their Warlock Green device. Can anyone help him?

I don't know exactly what he's talking about but if you do and know where he can find this particular antenna cable, I'm sure he would appreciate hearing from you. Spc. Sherman Bell (sherman.bell [at] us.army.mil)
