SBOLC WIN-T Exam (fall 2023 -2024)AN/TSC-156D Satellite Tactical PHOENIX - ANSWER--The Phoenix terminal is a
transportable wideband TACSAT terminal operating in the C, X, Ku, and Ka bands.
-Functions in one band at a time
-The Phoenix can interface with strategic networks and tactical networks. Receives from
RHNs (C4ISR) and Gateways
AN/TSC-185C Satellite Transportable Terminal (STT) - ANSWER-Upgrades to the
Army's legacy STTs to provide increased capability (Able to receive FDMA), modularity,
mobility, and operational flexibility, while reducing size, weight and power (SWaP) for
the expeditionary force
AN/TSCI-154A Secure, Mobile, Anti-Jam, Reliable, Tactical Terminal (SMART-T) -
ANSWER--SMART T uses -MILSTAR III = Advanced Extremely High Frequency
(AEHF)
-Protected Systems: Can operate independent of ground control, relay stations, and
distribution networks because of its advanced onboard processing and satellite-to-
satellite crosslinks
-The SMART-T operates in the AEHF range
-Processes data and voice communications services up to 8.192 Mbps over AEHF.
-Provides protected range extension for tactical command posts at corps, division, BCT,
fires and combat aviation brigades, and expeditionary signal battalions (ESB) to provide
protected SATCOM as needed
-The satellite terminal can be removed from the HMMWV vehicle to operate in a stand-
alone mode, remotely operation mode is also allowed.
AN/TSCI-156 V1 Satellite Tactical - ANSWER--Phoenix Terminal - ETSSP
-The Enhanced Tactical Satellite Signal Processor ETSSP is the brain for the system
-Synchronous, full-duplex TDM (send and receive at the same time)
-Capable of multiplexing (multiple signals across one data link) 4 groups into 1 super
group and vice versa
-Interfaces "transmission" side with "cable/user" side
,AN/TTC-61B [THN] - ANSWER-Tactical Hub Node
-Baseband Truck
-The THN is organic to the Division's HQs element and in most cases will deploy with
the division main CP along with the rest of the division communications assets as
needed.
-Serves as a DISN Point of Presence, interface to STEP, Teleport, and RHN to access
DSN, SIPR, NIPR, JWICS, CENTRIX (allows you to communicate between SIPR and
NIPR, declassifies or classifies material going between networks), VTC, PBX, and other
enterprise services
Area Coverage (AC) - ANSWER-Uses a steerable dish or multi-beam antenna to cover
areas of concentrated users that often deploy small, mobile or transportable earth
terminals (I.e. ships, aircraft, and ground tactical terminals).
Benefits of WIN-T - ANSWER--On-demand, pre-positioned links to DISN services.
-Automatic routing and information transfer over the most effective SATCOM network.
-The Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) allows for cross-banding for communications
between dissimilar SATCOM systems and frequency bands(C band, X band, Ku band,
and Ka band).
BPU - ANSWER-Baseband Processing Unit
-The TR-T utilizes the HNR system to provide ATH high capacity ground-to-ground
communications to other WIN-T components over a mobile wireless wide area network
(the mesh network created by the 30KM range from HNR). You could use RTEK and
HRFU at the same time.
-It does not provide network capabilities or any user breakout services for the SE, SI, or
CO security enclaves
-The TR-T does not support any analog or IP phones
-TR-T's are allocated at Division and Brigade levels
CBS - ANSWER-Common Battery Signaling
-The PBX's and Voice Gateway (VG) provides needed power source (CBS) for
supervisory signals for analog voice, data, and video signals for their user when
required.
COMSEC - ANSWER-Communications Security
, -term used to describe the measures and controls taken to deny unauthorized persons
information derived from telecommunications and ensure the authenticity of such
telecommunications.
CPN AN/TTC-64B (v) - ANSWER-Battalion Command Post Node
-Deployed at the Corps/ESB, BCT level, the CPN is the primary means of meeting BN
command post requirements.
-Usually found at the BN level
-LAN Managers only work for their specific enclave.
Different Types of Satellites - ANSWER--Communications Satellite
-Satellite TV
-Astronomic Satellites or Space observatories
-Remote Sensing Satellite
-GPS
-Reconnaissance Satellite
Diversity - ANSWER--Diversity is a technique which improves the total receive signal
over any single path by combining.
-The signals may arrive at different times or arrive stronger/weaker in two or more
independent paths.
DOD Gateways - ANSWER--Gateways give tactical terminals access to DISN services
regardless of their deployment location.
-DOD gateways are located across the globe to offer gateway entry points close to
warfighters in all theaters.
-DOD gateways provide long-haul network transport and connections from the deployed
tactical network to the strategic infrastructure.
Earth Coverage (EC) - ANSWER-Uses an EC horn antenna to cover most of the earth's
surface visible from the satellite, normally equal to the footprint.
Five Planning Factors - ANSWER-1: Grid Location MGRS (Near and Distant End)
