The CCS-280 Optical-Fiber Link Task.

Abstract

The development of an experimental optical-fiber link for the Command and Control System 280 (CCS-280) of the DDH-280 Destroyer Escorts of the Canadian Forces is described. The objective of the task was to demonstrate the application of optical-fiber transmission links in a land-based CCS-280, and thereby alert and inform the armed forces of the advantages of optical-communications technology in military systems. The Task was planned and managed by the Department of Communications on behalf of the Department of National Defence, while the design and implementation of the optical link were accomplished through industrial contracts. All test conditions set by the Directorate of Maritime Combat Systems were satisfied by the experimental optical-fiber link. (Author)
