SHF Terminal/Antenna Study. Tasks 7 and 8.

Abstract

This report defines the characteristics of the interface equipment necessary for the ABCC aircraft to relay secure voice communications between tactical elements in a crisis scene and AUTOSEVOCOM I subscribers via satellite using SHF transmissions. It also describes objectives to be demonstrated through tests of the recommended interface equipment. Three general design questions were considered: Where should the interface be located. How should the control function be accomplished. How should the multichannel requirements be met. Several alternative approaches were defined and assessed, and a recommended approach was selected and the associated interface equipment characteristics defined. Possible extensions of the recommended approach to provide capabilities beyond those of SHF relay were also considered. The report specifies laboratory of flight test objectives to verify and demonstrate the interface equipment operational SHF crisis scene relay capabilities, presents the principal conclusions resulting from the study, and recommends specific further actions.
