SYSTEM DESIGN AND ENGINEERING STANDARDS FOR TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS
Organization:
ARMY - CR - US Army Communications Electronics Command
Year: 1983
Abstract: The purpose of this document is to promulgate technical parameters in the form of mandatory system standards and optional design objectives that are considered necessary to ensure interoperability and to promote compatibility and commonality among tactical communications equipment, subsystems and systems. It is also the purpose of this document to establish a level of performance of tactical communications equipment, subsystems and systems considered necessary to satisfy the requirements of a majority of users. The technical parameters promulgated by this document represent, in general, minimum interoperability and performance characteristics which may be exceeded in order to satisfy specific requirements. For example, other codes may be added to the minimum mandatory capability of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), as stated in the note of 5.3.7.1.
Standards contained in this document have been based on measured performance of existing communications equipment according to the definition of system standards as stated in Federal Standard (FED-STD) 1037. Consequently, it is not the purpose of this document to establish all standards considered necessary to ensure interoperability of future communications equipment that is currently being designed and developed. However, this document provides guidance to the designers of future equipment by standardizing the technical characteristics of existing communications assets to facilitate the necessary design decisions required to achieve interoperability between existing and future communications facilities. In addition to addressing interoperability parameters, emphasis has been placed on establishing acceptable overall system performance with maximum flexibility of system configuration to satisfy diverse user requirements.
It is not the purpose of this document to serve as a stand-alone, comprehensive reference containing all technical parameters and other details required for the design of new equipment and facilities or the preparation of specifications. Therefore, parameters for such items as size and weight limitations, connectors, cable assemblies, or power supplies are not contained in this document. These parameters and other design details have to be established, based on specific requirements, and have to be carefully tailored in accordance with the policies of DoD Directive (DoDD) 4120.21.
This document is not intended to be a communications engineering textbook or a reference handbook. It is assumed that users of this document have a basic technical background in communications system engineering. However, this document contains considerable technical background information to explain why certain parameters were standardized, how some of the standards were derived, where these standards apply and how the standards are to be used. The purpose of this tutorial information is to assist the user of this document in determining how certain standards and design objectives are to be applied to particular situations.
It is not the purpose of this document to inhibit advances in communications technology. Such advances are encouraged by including design objectives which should be achieved, if economically feasible. Additionally, such advances are facilitated by standardizing upper or lower limits rather than fixed parameter values and by avoiding to specify the technology that should be used to meet the required standards.
This document applies to the design and development of new equipment, assemblages and subsystems used in tactical communications systems. This document applies to switched and non-switched multichannel subsystems and to single channel radio subsystems. Therefore, this document applies whenever there is an interface between a weapons platform, such as ships, aircraft and vehicles, and a land-based single channel radio net or multichannel area network.
When standards are selected from this document, it should be ascertained that only those standards are chosen that apply to the particular type of equipment, subsystem or system under consideration.
This document applies also to the engineering and installation of tactical communications equipment, subsystems and systems. It is not intended that existing communications facilities be immediately converted to comply with the standards contained in this document. New facilities and those undergoing major modification or rehabilitation shall comply with the standards contained in this document subject to the applicable requirements of current procurement regulations.
When tactical communications circuits are interconnected with long haul circuits, there are additional standards in MIL-STD-188-100 which apply. (See 5.1.1.5.)
Unless otherwise stated, performance parameters contained in this document do not apply to operation in an electronic warfare environment.
The main objectives of this document are to ensure interoperation of tactical equipment, subsystems and systems consistent with military requirements, to provide a degree of system performance acceptable to a majority of users of tactical communications systems, and to achieve the necessary degree of interoperation, performance and compatibility in the most economical way. These objectives will be accomplished by continuing efforts in the following areas:
a. Standardizing user-to-user performance characteristics and hypothetical reference circuits.
b. Specifying the probable maximum transmission distance of communications circuits.
c. Standardizing the characteristics of signals at various interface points in a communications system.
d. Specifying the maximum permissible degradation of a signal in the process of transmission, and allocating the permissible degradation among various parts of a system.
e. Establishing performance parameters and operating features of equipment, not of detail design, but of other factors which govern the interface characteristics with subsystems and systems in which the equipment will be used.
f. Defining performance parameters without specifying the technology that should be used to obtain the required performance.
An additional objective of communications system standards is to prevent proliferation of equipment serving the same or similar function. The variety of equipment shall be the minimum necessary to effectively support the missions of the tactical forces in accordance with DoDD 4630.5.
The parameters and other requirements specified in this document are mandatory system standards (see Appendix A) if the word "shall" is used in connection with the parameter value or requirement under consideration. Nonmandatory design objectives are indicated by parentheses after a standardized parameter value or by the word "should" in connection with the parameter value or requirement under consideration. For a definition of the terms "System Standard" and "Design Objective" see FED-STD-1037.
