Abstract
This study analyzes the conceptual design of a joint tactical anti-jam communication
link from a systems point of view. It addresses the requirements
and the specifications for a communication system providing an integrated
solution for navies operating in closed-sea areas under intense enemy jamming
activity.
The concept of the proposed system is based on spread spectrum technology
and on the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS).
Spread spectrum technology has been an area of extensive research for many
years. Satisfactory practical solutions have been provided through the implementation
of several frequency hopping systems that give partial answer to the
anti-jam (AJ) problem. JTIDS is the only hybrid spread spectrum system intended
to provide a catholic answer. The AJ performance of the proposed
system is examined theoretically under realistic scenarios.
System feasibility, from the overall cost standpoint, is evaluated using life
cycle costing and sensitivity analysis. The trade-off between the procurement
of an original system and a JTIDS-based design is also evaluated, based on
the possible research costs. It is assumed that acquisition or procurement of
such a system is not limited by any technology transfer barriers.
