Voice Multiplex System (VMS)

Abstract

A three node aircraft status fiber optic Local Area Network (LAN) aboard the USS Constellation will provide interior voice communication and data display information. Point to Point voice communications and aircraft status (normally done on translucent boards and grease pencils) will be supplied to various areas of the ship. System users fall into three categories. Two users, AIR OPS and STRIKE OPS, will construct, modify and broadcast flight schedules; two users, CIC TAO and FDC, will be able to update selected display field e.g. launch time; the remaining users will be constrained to viewing a variety of display files. Each user can scroll through one of ten display files he wishes to view. Reprints. (RRH)
