New Military Air Traffic Control Developed by Tadiran Communications
Tadiran Communications is developing a new military Air Traffic
Command and Control System (ATCCS) which comprises operationally
proven networking technologies that allow flexible connectivity
of voice, data and images between different platforms and across
communications networks. ATCCS features automatic optimal assignment
and allocation of communications using mature and operational
Radio over IP (RoIP) and Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies.
The system provides transparent connectivity between all types
of communications systems-telephone, intercom, and radios. It
connects through standard gateways that can adapt to any radio,
on all frequencies, and include all types of equipment whether
old or new, of Eastern or Western origin. This capability is essential
for interoperability-a baseline for coalition joint operations.
ATCCS enables efficient, low-latency voice, data and video transfer
between all ground control elements, over gigabit Ethernet links.
Radio communications are based on a system that can favor the
best, most efficient radio for the task, mission and platform,
including use of countermeasures in interference, low probability
of intercept, burst, or reduced power for frequency utilization.
Connectivity between airborne platforms is determined by the bandwidth
capacity of each system. The system uses fixed base and deployable
communications assets to support operations over expanded communications
capacities, subscribers and extended areas of operation. The network
has a built-in data recording facility which maintains synchronized
records of voice, video and radar displays for post action debriefing
and analysis.
