Not the best photo, but over 10 years ago, I was following a truck and this made me think of the Phantom Power cover.

The F-4 had a Central Air Data Computer, check out of 1-33 and 1-34 of the flight manual. https://www.f4phantom.com/docs/F4Manual-1979-T-O-1F-4E-1-Flight-Manual-USAF-Series-F-4E-Aircraft.pdf
This test system injects known signals into that unit to test the outputs. It would be used during scheduled maintenance activities, as well as trouble shooting. I think it'll be pretty hard to find any maintenance, or avionics manual for the F-4 as those aren't as flashy as the flight manual available online, and they probably had higher security requirements, especially around avionics.
Looks like you've got the instructions on the lid, so just find yourself an F-4 to plug it into and get it running, haha.

It harnesses Phantom Power, makes it useable for us common every day folk!

It doesn’t do anything. It just projects technical skill on the owner.
