MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS SWITCHING SYSTEM DESIGN.
Abstract
The past few years have witnessed the rapid evolution of communications switching. As in many other technical areas, requirements of the defense community have tended to outstrip technological progress. The result is that military communications switching systems that are now, or shortly will be, in operation are doomed to varying degrees of obsolescence in the not-too-distant future. This technical report is intended to review the state of the art in the area of communications switching, examine major problems and recommend areas of investigation. The report covers four major topics: (1) Military Commuications Switching Requirements, based on Military Standard 188B, which was released early in 1964. (2) Switching System Design Problems, including a discussion of switching fundamentals and a description of the influence of system requirements on the choice of techniques and devices used for implementation. (3) The State of the Art in communications switching, from the point of view of system operation and useful or promising devices. () Recommended Research and Development Efforts, indicating technical areas in which such efforts should result in worthwhile additions to the communications switching discipline. (Author)
