R&S^®SIMCOS II Signal Management and Control System

Planning operations

CommPlans & CommSets for particular mission scenarios e.g. ASW, ASuW, AAW etc. can be configured and prepared without any interference to the settings of the active CommPlan, i.e. the current operational status of the DCN is not altered, by defining / redefining:

• CommLines incl. AU allocations
• Tape Record channel allocations for Audio Units and other devices
• Relay configuration

Operation

The following main operator functions are available:

• Activation of a pre-planned CommPlan & CommSet
• Modification of current CommLines, Tape allocations or Relay constructions.
• Access to
• Device Control application for changing device parameters; Remote control of equipment
• Frequency Antenna Management (FAM) for decision aid computation for radio links (optional)



Remote Control (DEVCON)

System Monitoring

A continuous monitoring function monitors and displays:

• The operational state of the DCN (failures in nodes, slots and interfaces of the DCN).
• The operational state of communication devices and modem devices.
• The Squelch and Carrier state for radio devices.
• The Plain/Cipher state for external crypto devices used in CommLines depending on hardware configuration.

All Events are recorded in a central Log and archived by the R&S® SIMCOS II server for later analysis
