Evolving UHF SATCOM DAMA Standards: Impact on CBS Reach-Back Capabilities

摘要

The Navy has plans to transition from its current system of many special purpose data exchange protocols to a single system that uses standard open system network protocols. The new system is expected to use UHF SATCOM to provide low speed data links for the request of data and GBS for high-speed data delivery. This paper looks at changes that need to be made to the UHF SATCOM demand assigned multiple access (DAMA) standards to efficiently handle future user communication requirements. The impact on GBS reach-back applications is emphasized.
