The US Navy Fleet Satellite Communication System (FLTSAT) relies on a set of information exchange subsystems (IXS) to manage shared satellite resources. The navy has developed application specific IXS protocols for end-user communities. The goals are to develop a single common, interoperable IXS capable of serving the requirements of any user community; and simultaneously, to improve the quality of service offered to end-users. To meet these goals, ViaSat has developed a system called multi-user UHF Satcom for TDMA-1 (MUST). Through innovative multislot control, MUST is able to provide high-performance access to the TDMA-1 navy demand assignment multiple access (DAMA) waveform. Simulated performance comparisons show that MUST has the capability to provide over twice the throughput of OTCIXS II. In addition, it offers a wide variety of user-oriented services, such as voice, reliable packet transfer, and tactical data transfer.<>

After a brief discussion of the distributed Bellman-Ford algorithm and the associated looping problems, a routing algorithm for loop detection and resolution is proposed. The proposed algorithm detects and resolves all kinds of loops within a finite time depending on the number of nodes in a loop, while requiring a small computation and memory overhead. No extra control messages are generated and communicated over the network. The proposed algorithm does not allow any serious looping effects and maintains the simplicity of the distributed Bellman-Ford algorithm.<>

The advanced single-channel antijam man-portable (ASCAMP) downlink is a custom-designed digital signal processor implemented in hardware that runs a tailored and efficient microcode. Appropriate sections of microcode are executed in response to the downlink requirements. The different processing functions, hardware design, and hardware implementation are discussed. The author points out the unique feature of reprogramming field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware in order to accomplish different processing tasks with minimal hardware. Advantages and disadvantages of using FPGAs in the advanced SCAMP implementation and ideas for future development are mentioned. The ASCAMP (EHF satellite communication terminal) has stringent size, power, and weight specifications, making for a challenging design project. The downlink processor implementation has been optimized both in concept and design to meet these specifications.<>

Algorithms to perform the network control function for the ground-based elements of the Strategic Defense System (SDS) have been developed and evaluated. The authors compare the analytical and simulation results of two broadcast routing algorithms, namely flood-and-forward routing and constrained flood routing to identify a suitable candidate for routing traffic in a fiber-optic communication network which connects the SDS command center and the distributed ground-based sensor and weapon sites which also host various battle management functions. In addition to the usual performance and cost measures, the packet processing rate required at each relay node is specifically addressed. Realistic packet processing delays are included in the simulation to provide a complete picture of the overall delay statistics.<>

The authors present an efficient and robust solution to the problem of simulating the bit error rate (BER) performance of digital communication systems with intersymbol interference and nonGaussian noise. BER simulation results are shown for the conventional importance sampling (CIS) and improved importance sampling (IIS) techniques. In each case a bounding technique was applied to ensure that the BER estimates simulated were obtained with a specified estimate variance. The simulation improvement ratio over a direct Monte Carlo approach was derived and showed that the IIS technique gives a constant improvement for any size of system memory length. The CIS technique was shown to have a detrimental dimensionality effect, such that its effectiveness decreases as the system memory length increases.<>

The authors concentrate on the problem of interference rejection for the cases of single and multitone jammers. They propose the use of a conditional nonlinear median filter operating in the transform domain, for the detection and suppression of narrowband signals of sufficient power, without regard to their center frequency, bandwidth, or peak power. It is shown that this approach offers several significant advantages over similar techniques that have been used before.<>

The US government must make profound changes in the way it approaches information systems security. These changes are further prompted by: (1) rapid technological advances that have virtually eliminated the traditional distinctions between telecommunications and information systems, (2) the move toward commercial off-the-shelf acquisitions, (3) a more complex threat scenario, and (4) an increasingly restrictive fiscal climate. In order to deal with this reality of the 1990s, information systems security must be compatible with, indeed often integrated into, emerging information technology. Add-on security will no longer be sufficient.<>

The author examines the use of variable-rate signaling in conjunction with error-correction coding for a meteor burst channel model which assumes that the received signal amplitude decays exponentially. The performance achievable with variable-rate signaling is quantified by calculating the cutoff rate. The average signal-to-noise ratio per bit required to support communications is calculated under the assumption that the code rate is equal to the cutoff rate. It is shown that the improvement of variable-rate signaling over fixed-rate signaling is large if the code rate is moderate to high, and that the improvement is small if the code rate is low and the decoder is provided with side information on the received signal level.<>

HF auroral backscatter recordings were made using the Verona Ava linear array radar (VALAR) during 1990. The authors present an example of initial results from the analysis of HF data collected during September 1990. The range-azimuth distribution and Doppler characteristics of 2F ground backscatter from the sub-auroral and the auroral F-region were identified and characterized using amplitude-range-azimuth maps and amplitude-range-Doppler maps.<>
