Microcomputer Polling Improvements for AFSATCOM.

Abstract

This report documents a cost effective approach for an on-line, remotable demonstration of AFSATCOM polling improvements made possible through currently available, general purpose microcomputer technology. Descriptions of present and enhanced AFSATCOM terminal capabilities, and a comprehensive overview of the resultant microprocessor-based hardware and software, and the support facility are presented. The conclusion is that message processor unit software-only changes or stand-alone microcomputer hardware additions to existing AFSATCOM terminals can significantly enhance netting capabilities for the satellite-user community.
