| | AN/SYQ-7B) or SCO (Compaq Proliant 1850R, |
| | AN/SYQ-7B PC Variant and AN/SYQ-26) operating |
| | systems. NAVMACS COMMUNICATIONS CONTROLLER (NCC) |
| | VME CPU running VXWorks. System capable of |
| | sixteen (16) serial channels to connect with |
| | AUTODIN and other serial protocols. Backend LAN |
| | delivery using AMP software for interface with |

| | is required to interface computer and satellite |
| | RF equipment (if patch panels are unavailable). |
| | Connectivity Requirements | UHF satellite 25 Hz wide channels allocated for |
| | CUDIXS through DAMA only. No Non-DAMA CUDIXS |
| | circuits are available. Each channel is |
| | half-duplexed UHF link at 2400 bps, SHF uses RIXT |
| | or MODE I circuits with KG-84A and MARCEMP |
| | circuit with KG-84C. NAVMACS II - SMS deletes the |
| | requirement for Gate Guard. NAVMACS II - SMS |
| | circuits support RIXT, MODE I and MMS protocols. |
| | It also interfaces by telephone line using STU |
| | III telephone. High Speed Fleet Broadcast is not |
| | used. All (4) broadcast circuits are utilizing |
| | 75 bits per second. Full Period Terminations |
| | circuits are used with NAVMACS II - SMS as well. |
| | Crypto Requirements | None, provided by the communications |
| | paths/systems. Crypto equipment used with NAVMACS |
| | II - SMS: KG-84A, KG-84C, KWR-46, STU-III. |
