NODE 66aa08b4Encrypted Military Information Broadcasts
nobody@shell.portal.comSun, 12 Jun 94 00:14:16 PDT
From reading unclassified literature related to a device called a
"Commanders' Tactical Terminal/Hybrid-Receive Only" (CTT/H-R) manufactured
by E-Systems, I've heard of such things as:
Tactical Information Broadcasting Service (TIBS)
Tactical Reconnaissance Equipment and Related Applications (TRAP)
Tactical Data Information Exchange System Broadcast (TADIXS-B)
CONSTANT SOURCE
SENIOR SPAN
It also mentions "embedded COMSEC modules based on CTIC and Ricebird
crypto chips".
Reading between the lines, it seems to be some sort of encrypted
information distribution system. Is there an UNclassified (and brief)
description of the function and usage of each of these available
somewhere, hopefully that could be posted here? Thanks.
My job situation is such that it wouldn't be prudent or me to ask these
questions openly, hence my use of an anon server.
