Folks, below is a link with a picture of a device I can not identify. I believe this is an anti-IED device and I have seen it on Strykers in afghanistan, M-ATV's and some M-1151's. I have not been able to find the name of this device however and I need that so I can google it to get more pictures (better details, etc.) of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The anti-IED devices that are on poles on the front of armored veicles are called a "Rhino device". Not sure how well one would work right on the side of the vehicle. Also, most of the Rhinos I've seen are closer to a square shape, as opposed to this device's rectangle (though actual length vs width may not matter).

It is an anti-IED device, however, I can't remember the name either. It is not a Rhino and it works differently than the Rhino. That is all that needs to be said in an open forum about it.

Here is a working pic of it.

Thanks for attaching the picture Gino and for confirming my assumption that it was an anti-IED antenna...............now to simply find the name

Here you can see markings similar to those that can be found on the DUKE tubular antenna :


You can see the back of it here :

Yes its the new antenne for the duke, it extends the range

Bill, can you take the actual ranges out of your post? OPSEC my friend. Just leave it at, "It extends the range." No need to list actual capabilities of a current C-IED system.

Thanks for the info. guys, I appreciate the assistance.
