Topic 8 Afloat Comms
Enabling Objectives
8.1 DISCUSS how the UHF/SHF/EHF spectrums support OTH-T C4I
systems.
8.2 DISCUSS current satellite connectivity and terminal configuration.
8.3 DISCUSS current Military and Commercial SATCOM systems such as
DSCS, CWSP, INMARSAT B HSD, EHF MDR, GBS, and DWTS.
8.4 DISCUSS ISNS and ADNS.
8.5 DISCUSS the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT).
8.6 DISCUSS the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES).
8.7 DISCUSS the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS).
UHF
Advantages: Very Widespread, Can use small, lightweight equipment
Disadvantages: Low Data Rates, Very crowded, Susceptible to jamming
UHF
300-3000MHZ
Utility
SHF
EHF
3-30GHZ
Capacity
30-300GHZ
Survivability
SHF
Advantages:High BW, Joint interoperability
Disadvantages: Not widespread, DSCS Crowded, CWSP cost
Small antennae make ships “disadvantaged users”
EHF
Advantages: LDR:Anti-Jam, Anti-Scint, LPD/LPI
MDR: better data rates, less survivabilty
Disadvantages: LDR slow, Not as widespread as UHF
Cloud bursts can interfere w/ xmsn

It has the same application as commercial technology:
– High powered satellites
– Wide bandwidth (High Data Rates)
– Sophisticated receive terminals (Small Antennas)
– Ka Band on UHF F/O
– Ka, X Band on Wideband Gapfiller Satellite
– Ku Band on Commercial Leased Satellites
(CONUS/EUCOM)
– Multimedia (not primarily video)
– Variable data rates
It provides Smart Delivery of large data products
Supports the mobile and disadvantaged user
