A Framework for an Integrated Defense Communication Network for the Republic of China Armed Forces

Abstract

This thesis discusses communication systems currently in use by the Republic of China (R.O.C.) Armed Forces and explores ways that the R.O.C. may increase the capability of its national defense by improving current communication networks. Modern network communication and components techniques such as digital data transmission, network protocols, network topologies, switching technologies, and transmission media are discussed. The U.S. Defense Data Network (DDN) is used as a model for a successful military network. The DDN technology and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) standards are combined with concepts from modern communication technologies to develop the conceptual framework for a proposed Integrated Defense Communication Network (IDCN) for the R.O.C. Armed Forces. This framework is intended for use by the R.O.C. Department of Defense in establishing a nation-wide communication system that will improve its administration management, logistic supply, intelligence collection, and auxiliary tactical communication capabilities.
