Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M) Segments and SkyCAP Assured IP Software

Abstract

SkyCAP is a software solution to provide netted I/P access over half duplex LDR satellite (also LOS) links. It is the integration of the proposed MIL-STD-188-184A with an I/P interface. the original goal was to only pass TCP for mail, web browsing, ftp, etc. but has since been expanded to support all I/P types. SkyCAP has demonstrated use on other tactical Line-of-Sight (LOS) VHF/UHF radio networks and shows potential for Over-the-Horizon (OTH) HF radio modes. DoD does not have a UHF SATCOM I/P network waveform.
