Abstract:
While lack of channel and bandwidth availability is the most frequently expressed communications problem in Navy Battle Group NBG communications, there is a group of communication channels which is not currently being exploited. This study considers the use of troposcatter and ducting in the Super High Frequency SHF band for ship-to-ship communications. Both line-of-sight and over-the-horizon communications are evaluated. The results of this study indicate link performance of great value to the Navy. A program is recommended to evaluate such a link and to determine the utility for an NBG communications system.
