An ITT Industries led team is developing the Near Term Digital Radio (NTDR) Information Transport System (ITS) for PM Tactical Radio Communication Systems to meet the growing need for higher capacity digital information distribution on a highly mobile battlefield. The team consists of Motorola, Lockheed Sanders, BBN, SICOM and Group Technology Corporation. The NTDR ITS is based on open architecture principles for both hardware and software. It draws heavily on commercial cellular telephone system concepts to support highly mobile users in a dynamic environment. The system is designed to operate without any need for intervention by the user or network manager. In one sense the NTDR can be viewed as an RF system with a very sophisticated embedded router/gateway. However, each module of the NTDR ITS contains advanced features that cause the system to function very effectively in a dynamic, mobile environment.

The SINCGARS system improvement program (SIP) ground and airborne radios target specific improvements to address the need for improved position awareness, improved data throughput, and speed of service on the battlefield. This paper specifically discusses the implementation of these improvements in the radios. First, it discusses the implementation of Reed-Solomon forward error correction to increase throughput while improving range and significantly improving the interference protection of the radio against cosite and jamming. The discussion includes the investigation of several coding approaches and implementations, and the results of the analysis which led to the selection of a family of the Reed-Solomon codes. The second area of discussion is the implementation of a new frequency hopping waveform that increases the probability of synchronization and reduces transmission overhead. Thirdly, the implementation of an improved channel access algorithm that allows mixed voice and packet data operation on a common net with minimal impact of voice operation at high packet data throughput rates is discussed. In addition, the implementation of an efficient data interface, per MIL-STD-188-220 A, to ITT's Internet controller (INC) which provides for packet radio relay nodes across the battlefield is discussed. Finally, the implementation of the embedded GPS position information, and user ID, in voice and data messages to provide reporting of friendly force positions for situation awareness is discussed.

An analysis of a quaternary direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access communication system is presented. The system uses a correlation receiver and random signature sequences in an additive white Gaussian noise channel. The multiple-access interference (MAI) is analysed using a product of symmetric multinomials. The analysis is greatly simplified by assuming independent multiaccess interference (MAI) for different interferers. The result is a procedure for the determination of independent MAI probability density functions (PDF). The PDF are subsequently used to obtain an approximation to the probability of bit error.

Military communication networks in the near future are expected to be integrated and dynamic. In order to deal with dynamic user needs, demand-assigned multiple access (DAMA) techniques are being developed and standardized for military satellite communication (SATCOM) networks. In the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band, two military standards have been released. However, a technical working group (TWG) within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has been formed to address some of the anticipated shortcomings of networks operating per these standards. In the superhigh frequency (SHF) band, although not yet released, two documents representing a military standard exist in final draft form. In the extremely high frequency (EHF) band, several organizations are developing protocols for DAMA operation that will likely lead to a future military standard. This study proposes and evaluates the improvements resulting from several protocol enhancements, primarily for UHF DAMA. The study gives consideration to the impact on operation of existing equipment in its assessment of various protocol enhancements. The proposed protocol enhancements address the following needs: short delay (call setup and voice/data throughput) connections, fast mode changes between the two standardized UHF DAMA modes, reduction of overhead when dynamic DAMA protocols are supporting relatively static services, and increased capability to handle network dynamics for standardized protocols having insufficient orderwire capacity. This study considered the need for multiple-hop global connections having short throughput delays. Because of the general trend to integrate previously isolated communication systems, the importance of addressing multiple-hop within a single system (e.g., UHF SATCOM) is diminishing and therefore was not further investigated. This study also considered the need for standardized high-rate DAMA services on SHF channels; however, the existing draft military standards were found to be adequate in this area. In other areas, the study proposes and describes enhancements that offer significant improvements in network capability with minimal impacts on the operation of existing equipment.

Mobile radio networks in tactical environments are typically subject to frequency-selective fading. Many techniques, including error-control coding, modulation schemes, and sophisticated receivers, are used to provide diversity and improve communication over a fading channel. Spread-spectrum modulation, in particular, has properties that make it suitable for mitigating the effects of fading. Two types of spread-spectrum modulation combat fading in different ways. Frequency-hop (FH) modulation and block coding with interleaving can provide diversity among the symbols of a codeword in a frequency-selective channel. On the other hand, direct-sequence (DS) modulation has anti-multipath capability that allows the receiver to discriminate against interference caused by multipath propagation. If a RAKE receiver is used, the copies of the signal that are received with different delays can be combined to provide diversity. Each system takes advantage of different features of the fading channel, so channel variation affects the behavior of these two methods differently. For example, an increase in the correlation bandwidth improves the performance of a DS system while degrading the performance of a FH system. Previous research on the relative performance of these two formats is limited to specific channel models and environments. The article considers a general wideband channel model ann studies each system under identical conditions. The purpose is to explore the effects of the channel's characteristics on the performance of both FH and DS spread-spectrum systems.

All tactical digital communications architectures include provisions for error detection and correction (EDAC), and for repeating, relaying, and updating messages. In addition, the most important messages generally require receipt/compliance replies, to ensure that if the message is lost it will be repeated immediately and as often as necessary to ensure receipt. These features are collectively referred to as redundancy, and are built into the message standard for the links involved. Purposeful redundancy in message standards reflects an awareness on the part of the link designers of concepts of information theory. However, those information-theoretic components are rarely formalized, and in any case message standards do not provide adaptive, real-time analysis of information requirements. The issue addressed in this paper is how to measure the information content of tactical data, so as to determine the optimal update/repetition rate for messages, or the optimal data screening for overloaded processes. After a brief review of the relevant concepts of information theory, we describe a real time metric for measuring information in tactical operations, and show how to apply that metric to a common tactical scenario, in which a sensing unit reports track positions to a remote tracker over a surveillance net. We conclude with some ideas on extending this approach to filter messages based on estimates of their probable effect on the recipients.

The OPNET simulation software developed by MIL3 has been used to construct a very detailed model of the Mil-Std-188-220 A network protocol executing over a SINCGARS radio net operating in packet mode. The intranet relay function provided by this protocol has included a transport layer like acknowledgment for ensuring reliable transmission across multiple relayers within a network. The intranet end-to-end (ETE) acknowledgment is in addition to any reliability provided by the link layer. This paper examines the performance of multi-hop relay networks using different combinations of network layer and link layer reliability functions. The paper presents recommendations for the use of the ETE acknowledgment based on throughput, delay, and completion percentage.

The current literature contains many algorithms for determination of the number of emitters and their parameters when the emitter signals are all present over the observation period of the receiver. In the problem considered, emissions are of short duration, and interference between emissions at the receiver is a rare event. The receiver estimates the angle, frequency, amplitude, and time of arrival for each emission assuming that no other emissions are present. These estimates are then collected for some time interval and passed to a sorting method that estimates the number of emitters and the parameters associated with each. Two methods are presented. These methods are ad-hoc, although the 3D method resembles the Parzen with a normal kernel for estimating a probability density function and the maximum a posteriori method for estimating the parameters. The 2D method is a modification to the 3D that trades off performance for speed of execution. Both methods were evaluated using over 100 data sets. The data varies from sparse, containing 50 or less hits over the collection interval, to dense, with over 1000 hits. In sparse environments both methods produce about the same emitter reports. In dense environments, the 2D method sometimes misses emitters that the 3D method detects.

Interference and jamming can severely disrupt the performance of an intended communication receiver, as well as any intercept receivers. This paper examines the effects of a transform domain digital excision filter upon the performance levels of both types of receivers as determined through simulations using the Signal Processing Worksystem. The communication system considered in this research employed direct sequence spread spectrum modulation. Intercept receivers considered were the radiometer and chip rate detector. The performance of the communication and intercept receivers in the presence of narrowband jammers was measured with and without the excision filter in order to characterize the performance gains achieved with the filter. These gains are presented in the form of bit error probability and receiver operating characteristic curves.
