The Operational Use of an Automated High Frequency Radio System Incorporating Automatic Link Establishment and Single-Tone Serial Modem Technology for U.S. Navy Ship-Shore Communications
Abstract
The U.S. Navy has all but ceased to use high frequency (HF) radio for long-haul ship-shore communications. Satellite systems have rightfully assumed this role, but the antiquated nature of the Navy HF system has soured planners on even considering HF for supplementary uses or other roles. In an attempt to dispel this undeserved reputation and gain operating experience for application of automation to new shipboard HF systems, an HF radio communications system incorporating automatic link establishment (ALE), single-tone serial modems and 500-watt transceivers was deployed on USS TARAWA (LHA-1) and to serving Navy shore communications stations during her recent deployment to the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf This paper describes the use of this system for bidirectional 600 baud message traffic.
