FAST TERMINAL ENTRY IN LINK 16 TACTICAL NETWORKS

摘要

A process for allowing a CMN-4 equipped Link 16 terminal to enter an active network. After an initial entry command is entered at the terminal at a given current time at the terminal, a number of time slots are identified in which multiple receivers at the terminal have an opportunity to detect an initial entry message (lEM) after the given current time. Each of the receivers is set to detect an lEM during a different one of the identified time slots. When an lEM is first detected by one of the receivers, the current time at the terminal is reset based on the time slot in which the I EM was detected.
