COMMUNICATIONS SUITE Flashcards
What is the SATCOM called?
ARC-210
What is the VHF radio called?
ARC-222
What is the UHF called?
ARC-164
Is anti jamming Transmission Security or Communications Security?
TRANSEC by frequency hopping
Is not COMSEC because no inherent encryption
What does SINCGARS stand for?
Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System
What are SINCGARS and HAVEQUICK?
Waveforms
Not frequencies or nets
What does SINCGARS have that HAVEQUICK doesn’t?
Digital data capability
SINCGARS can be used in both clear and secure mode with the KY-58s
How does SINCGARS operate?
Frequency hops at 100 freqs per second AND at a pseudo-random timing pattern
Makes the signal sound similar to random noise and difficult for anyone to understand other than the intended receiver
Are SINCGARS and HAVEQUICK TRANSEC or COMSEC?
Anti jam or TRANSEC
What is HOPSET
Fancy way of naming a set, or table, of computer generated hopping frequencies
What are lockouts?
Table of frequencies across FM spectrum not to be hopped on
Marine corps doesn’t use them
What is a net ID?
How many net IDs can ARC-210 hold?
3 digit numeric code; ranging from 000-999 prefaced with F
Up to 25
Starting point for radio to begin hopping within hopset
Is SINCGARS used for VHF or UHF?
VHF
HAVE QUICK
What form does the Net Number take?
AXX.XYY
The YYs determine HQ I or HQ II
HQ I = 00
HQ II = 25
Indicates hop rate (00 slowest)
HAVE QUICK
What determines if WOD is training mode?
WOD starting with 300.0XX
What 2 parts make up the TOD?
Precise Time
Operational Day - calendar day; enables radio to pick the correct MWOD
What is MWOD
Multiple Word-of-Day
It is a WOD with a DATE TAG
How many MWODs can the ARC-210 hold?
6
What are the 3 types of SATCOM
Dedicated
DAMA
Integrated Waveform
How many satellites are there for SATCOM use?
How many transponders per satellite?
How many channels per transponder?
Results in how many channels per satellite?
Those satellites are called UHF Follow On (UFO)
10 UFO
39 transponders
4 channels per transponder (N, O, P, Q)
supports 159 channels
How many channels can the scan function scan?
1 command channel and 3 secondary channels
command channel scanned 3x more than secondary channels
