CHAPTER 7NEW TECHNOLOGY IN DATA COMMUNICATIONSINTRODUCTIONThe current Link-11 and Link-4A systems are being updated with new equipments. The DataTerminal Set AN/USQ-125 is currently replacing the older Link-11 data terminals. In addition, newcommunications systems, such as the Command and Control Processor (C2P) and the JointTactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), are quickly becoming commonplace onvarious platforms in the Navy. This chapter will introduce you to some of the changes taking placeand the basic features of some of the new systems.After completing this chapter, you should be able to:.Describe the various components of the AN/USQ-125 Data Terminal Set..Describe the operation of the AN/USQ-125 in a typical Link-11 system..State the purpose of the Joint Tactical Information Data System (Link-16)..Describe the components of the Link-16 system..State the function of the Command and Control Processor (C2P) system.lDescribe the components of the C2P system.THE AN/USQ-125 DATA TERMINAL SETThe AN/USQ-125 data terminal set is the newestLink-11 data terminal set in the Navy. It is quicklyreplacing older DTSs, such as the AN/USQ-36 andthe AN/USQ-59. There are several configurations ofthe AN/USQ- 125.
