| | Ground Mobile Forces Network Planning Prototype (GMF NETPLAN) |
| |
| | Primary Purpose | To assist the planning and implementation of |
| | tactical and strategic satellite networks. |
| | Sub-Functions | Produces deployment packages, Satellite Access |
| | Requirements (SAR), Tactical Satellite Signal |
| | Processor (TSSP), and Low Rate Multiplexer (LRM) |
| | programming sheets. |
| | Equipment Requirements | 486 computer with 16MB RAM, 25MB hard disk space. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | In normal office of field environments, requires |
| | a computer with printer. The system can be |
| | interfaced with the Defense Satellite |
| | Communications System (DSCS) Network Planning |
| | software used at Regional Satellite Control |
| | Centers (RSCC) and the DSCS Operating Center. |
| | Crypto Requirements | None, unless producing networks above |
| | UNCLASSIFIED. Can be used on workstation/LANs up |
| | to SECRET. |
| | Normal Locations | Signal Battalions and Engineer Brigades. |
| | Information Managed | Mission requests through GMF stations. Terminal |
| | data, antenna data, locations (Lat and Long), |
| | satellite data, DSCS OC controller details, |
| | network routing, LRM and TSSP configurations, and |
| | user configurations. |
| | Products Created | Network diagrams, map of terminal locations, |
| | SARs, TSSP, and LRM programming sheets. |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | The system was initiated by the US Army. Contract |
| | is managed by CECOM. |
| | Current Fielding Status | Version 2.2.3 is in current operation throughout |
| | the services. |
| | Known Problems | Does not include data entry into Defense |
| | Communication System (DCS) entry sites for |
| | strategic-tactical interface. The system can only |
| | configure point-to-point links for AN/TSC-143 |
| | networks due to the lack of TSSP data. |
| | DIICOE Compliance Rating | Level 5. |
