On the Shipboard Application of Network Time Protocol (NTP, RFC 1305)

Abstract

The rapid evolution of naval combat system computing platforms is inspiring novel approaches in the design of shipboard time distribution systems. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is being considered as a component in some of these new models. This paper presents studies conducted to evaluate the viability of NTP, in general, as a shipboard timekeeping mechanism, and in particular, as a non-mission critical timekeeping mechanism for the AEGIS Weapon System.
