– The Base Station maintains a database of all of the users it has assigned time slots to. Each Radio Set that has been assigned a time slot is said to be “in the CSEL net”. To enter the net, the Radio Set operator must send at least one UHFSATCOM immediate mode message. Being in the net is required for the JSRC to send messages to the specified Radio Set.

A) Almanac Data
B) Course
C) In the Net
In the Net
– The intended path of movement in the horizontal plane expressed in degrees from North (true, magnetic, or grid).

A) Course
B) Primary JSRC
C) Crypto Key
Course
– Cryptographic (encoded) data provided to the receiver to enable full capabilities of the SA/A-S function.

A) Crypto Key
B) Mean Sea Level
C) Azimuth
Crypto Key
– This is a JSRC that has been designated as the overarching JSRC. Any messages which are not deliverable to the Primary or Backup JSRCs will be delivered to the CSC. Additionally any messages for which a destination cannot be determined will be sent to the JSRC designated as the CSC.

A) Primary JSRC
B) CSEL Support Center (CSC)
C) Azimuth
CSEL Support Center (CSC)
– The reference frame for a selected map coordinate system.

A) Ephemeris Data
B) Datum
C) Crypto Key
Datum
– Eastward (that is left to right) reading of grid values on a map.

A) Crypto Key
B) Ephemeris Data
C) Easting
Easting
– The distance above (positive) or below (negative) mean sea level or datum surface.

A) Elevation

– A system that uses standard-scale grid square, based on a point of origin on a map projection of the earth's surface in an accurate and consistent manner to permit either position referencing or the computation of direction and distance between grid positions. A position is described by a series of numbers and letters to de-scribe a grid zone, a 100,000 meter square, and a distance to the east followed by a distance to the north both measured from the coordinate origin of the square.
