[ 2 ] May 2016: Harris Corp. is awarded a $405 million contract by Moroccan Army concerning SINCGARS system equipment including ancillary items, spare parts, installation kits, training and fielding support services.
Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) is the NATO name for the communication component of Link-16 developed by Xetron. [1]MIDS is an advanced command, control, communications, computing and intelligence system incorporating high-capacity, jam-resistant, digital communication links for exchange of near real-time tactical information, including both data and voice, among air ...
ACARS can send messages over VHF if a VHF ground station network exists in the current area of the aircraft. VHF communication is line-of-sight propagation and the typical range is up to 200 nautical miles at high altitudes. Where VHF is absent, an HF network or satellite communication may be used if available.
The network consists of dedicated tactical links, wideband air-to-air links, and ad hoc networks constructed by the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) networking services. JTRS is a software-defined radio that will work with many existing military and civilian radios.
The earliest communication with aircraft was by visual signalling, ground-to-air only. Air-to-ground communication was first made possible by the development of two-way aerial telegraphy in 1912, soon followed by two-way radio. By the Second World War, radio had become the chief medium of air-to-ground and air-to-air communication. Since then ...
The Aeronautical Telecommunication Network [1] (ATN) is an internetwork architecture that allows ground/ground, air/ground, and avionic data subnetworks to interoperate by adopting common interface services and protocols based on the ISO OSI Reference Model.
Air-ground radiotelephone service is a system that allows voice calls and other communication services to be made from an aircraft to either a satellite or land-based network. The service operates via a transceiver mounted in the aircraft on designated frequencies .
Today, HFDL is an air/ground data link standard with coverage in virtually every corner of the globe, approximately 168,000,000 square miles (440,000,000 km 2) where aircraft are never out of touch both in the air and on the ground. There are around 15 HF ground stations (HGS) available today, and, like a canopy within a jungle, the stations ...
