Interconnection Study of Joint Tactical Communications Systems

The tactical communications system should be be interoperable with other allied networks and strategic networks for joint operation. Also, new equipment will invariably need to interoperate with current in-service equipment. In order to interconnect tactical communications systems between U.S. Forces and ROK Army, they conducted the interoperability test of two systems. In this paper we present the interoperability issues of joint tactical communications systems, the SAI physical level interface compatibility with the NAI, the network configuration for interoperability test and test results.
