Application of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) to the Network Synchronization of the DCS (Defense Communications System)

Abstract

This publication describes the proposed network synchronization capability for the near-term Defense Communications System (DCS), and in particular the methodology for integrating this capability with the evolving NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS). A detailed description of the GPS is provided as well as a discussion as to how it might be applied in the DCS. Finally, a description is given for some of the available, commercial, off-the- shelf, GPS receivers.
