Communications

Front 1

What is SSIXS?

Back 1

Submarine Satellite Information Exchange
Subsystem

Front 2

This is a narrowband
uhf subsystem that links voice communications
between ships and connects with wide-area shore voice networks.

Back 2

Secure Voice Subsystem

Front 3

This subsystem is specifically designed for
special intelligence communications

Back 3

Tactical Intelligence Subsystem (TACINTEL).

Front 4

This is a one-way broadcast of
tactical information from command centers ashore to afloat units primarily in support of over-the-horizon targeting (OTH-T).

Back 4

Tactical Data Information Exchange Subsystem (TADIXS)

Front 5

This subsystem continues to provide inter-and intrabattle
group communications and is now also designated as the return path for ship-to-shore
OTH-T communications.

Officer in Tactical Command Information Exchange Subsystem (OTCIXS).

Front 6

This subsystem was designed to
multiplex several subsystems, or users, on one satellite channel, allowing more satellite circuits to use a single uhf satellite channel.

Back 6

Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA)

Front 7

Four Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master
Stations (NCTAMS) have primary responsibility for
naval communications via satellite. They are:

Back 7

NCTAMS LANT, Norfolk, Virginia
NCTAMS MED, Naples, Italy
NCTAMS WESTPAC, Finegayan, Guam
NCTAMS EASTPAC, Wahiawa, Hawaii

Front 8

provides connectivity between NCTAMS EASTPAC and NCTAMS LANT?

Back 8

Naval Computer and Telecommunications
Station (NCTS), San Diego, California

Front 9

What is the purpose of baseband equipment?

Back 9

used to collect and
control the transmitted or received communications.

Front 10

What is the purpose of the rf terminal?

Back 10

used by the baseband system to
transmit and receive via satellite link.

Front 11

Fleet Satellite Broadcast Subsystem
provides the capability to transmit Fleet Broadcast
message traffic in a high-level jamming environment.
The subsystem has how many subchannels of encrypted message traffic at an input data rate of what bps per channel?

Back 11

15 sub channels
75 bps

Front 12

The shore terminal transmits this data on a direct-sequence, spreadspectrum
what signal to the satellite, where the signal is translated to what and down-linked to the subscriber.

Back 12

SHF
UHF

Front 13

The Fleet Satellite Broadcast message traffic is queued and/or channel selected by two processor controlled message switching systems before transmission. These systems are?

Back 13

(NAVCOMPARS) , and STREAMLINER

Front 14

For general service message
traffic.

Back 14

NAVCOMPARS

Front 15

For special intelligence
message traffic.

Back 15

STREAMLINER
