Intra-Amphibious Task Force Communications. Bridging the Capabilities/Requirements GAP.

Abstract

This paper proposes a solution to current amphibious communications shortfalls. Specifically, it focuses on the need for a high capacity communications pipe to facilitate high-data-rate information transfer between amphibious task force ships, and between amphibious ships and landing force elements phased ashore during amphibious operations. The author examines current shortfalls in this area, and explains why these shortfalls can no longer be ignored. He recommends fielding shipboard terrestrial multichannel radio systems on amphibious ships to supplement satellite communications methods and bridge the gap between current communications capabilities and requirements.
