The TATS Master is an automatic net control station for operating a satellite communications net consisting of many terminals with TATS modems operating at UHF at a data rate of 75 bits/sec. TATS(TActical Transmission System) is a frequency-hopping modulation system for tactical satellite communications which has been designed to provide a high degree of random multiple-access capability, RFI resistance, and protection against multipath. Most net member stations will be located on aircraft, ships, or small land vehicles. All net member stations are provided with a small add-on box to provide automatic response capability. The TATS Master physically consists of several TATS modems connected to a small general purpose digital computer with a number of input/output devices. With such a terminal, a commander or controller can maintain semiautomatic control over large numbers of terminals which comprise his communications network. (Author)
