The Tactical Automatic Digital Switch and Its Impact on Army Area Communications.
Abstract
This report is an updated version of a paper given in the 'Automation as a Combat Aid' Working Group Session of the 26th Military Operations Research Society (MORS) Symposium on 18 November 1970. The report describes the use of the Tactical Automatic Digital Switch AN/MYQ-2(TADS) in the Army Area Communication System (AACOMS). The specific use of TADS to enhance logistical and personnel communications from unit level through Army-Rear entry into AUTODIN is emphasized. Also emphasized is the use of TADS, a store and forward message switching system, as a subscriber-oriented field switch. Through this consideration it is shown that TADS, which will interface with the Combat Service Support System (CS3), can extend the CS3 data retrieval function to subscribers who do not possess CS3 terminals. The use of TADS for other field communication functions is also discussed. (Author)
