April 17, 2006 - Telestra, used in conjunction with Digital Audio Communications Systems (DACS), models effects of radio communications over satellite links. It can model transmitter to receiver voice delays, supports up to 255 simultaneous links, and provides ability to serve satellite effects to multiple ASTi radio models working in multiple exercises. Along with ability to simultaneously model multiple satellite systems, solution can model separate uplink and downlink frequencies.

ASTi Satcom Simulation for Future Combat Systems

Advanced Simulation Technology inc. (ASTi) recently delivered two Digital Audio Communications Systems (DACS) and a Telestra Satcom Server to the Boeing Phantom Works' Warfighter Systems Integration Lab, a human factors laboratory supporting Future Combat Systems (FCS) experiments. The ASTi system provides operators with a high fidelity simulated radio environment featuring:

- Audio and control interfaces for two crew members, two command and control stations and a test conductor station. ASTi voice networking software will link operators located in disperse locations, including Washington and California.

- ASTi's Telestra Satcom Server, in conjunction with the DACS systems, is used to model the effects of radio communications over satellite links, including:

-- Transmitter to receiver voice delays of up to several seconds for each link

-- Support for up to 255 simultaneous links (this system is configured for 2 links)

-- Ability to serve satellite effects to multiple ASTi radio models working in multiple exercises

-- Ability to simultaneously model multiple satellite systems, each with realistic characteristic effects. System types include: dedicated channel, DASA and DAMA

-- Separate uplink and downlink frequencies are modeled, providing simulated full-duplex communications channels

- A Touch Screen Display (TSD) terminal, with custom embedded software provides the test conductor with realtime controls for setting: end-to-end satellite voice delays, signal-to-noise figures and other features. The TSD acts as an economical embedded host computer, communicating directly with the DACS over ethernet.

- The system is configured with a host interface to meet the customer's future requirement for an interface to Multi-Function Display (MFD) panels.

- The system also includes additional audio and discrete digital control interfaces, to meet a future requirement for integration with a 'virtual operator' station, comprised of a customer computer with speech synthesis and voice recognition capability.

ASTi provided engineering services to develop the turnkey system, integrating communications models with satcom effects and the TSD operator control interface.
