Advanced Technology Direction and Control Communications Systems

Abstract

This report reflects the MITRE Corporation's research in appropriate advanced communications technologies for distributed, survivable direction and control systems for civil defense in the 1980's. In addition to network design options that have a near-term payoff, several potential technologies are described which may have a longer-term payoff. These systems are communications satellites, meteor scatter burst communications, JTIDS and Packet Radio, and SCULPT, a spread spectrum satellite system. In addition, digital transmission, switching and distribution are described because of their application by the commercial communications services in the 1980'2.
