Tactical ISDN Technology Program

Abstract

This report summarizes work carried out at Lincoln Laboratory during FY89 on a Tactical ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) Technology investigation under AF/RADC sponsorship. The primary focus of the study has been to develop strategies for exploiting the features and capabilities of the emerging ISDN technology in order to meet the requirements for secure voice and data communications in a tactical environment. An important element of the effort has been to develop a plan for an ISDN testbed and experiments to support the future development of a Multi-Level Security Multimedia Integrated Service Network (MISEN). Efforts to date in this program have been described in three previous Quarterly Letter Reports, in a paper (8) presented at the October 1989 MILCOM Conference and in various briefings to RADC. This Annual Report replaces the fourth Quarterly Report, and summarizes work over FY89. The report covers the overall study effort, and includes a plan for the ISDN testbed and experiments. Keywords: Radio communications; Tactical communications; Tactical Air Control System(TACS); Packet network; Digital switch; Gateway; Voice/data integration; ISDN.
