TRI-TAC (Tri-Service Tactical Communications) is an obsolescent military tactical communications architecture, centered around AN/TTC-39 digital circuit switches. The AN/TTC-39 is a modular design, which, in a late version, handled in excess of 700 lines — comparable to a private branch exchange of moderate size. TRI-TAC would interconnect tactical command posts to one another, to higher command, and to the communications centers linked by radio to moving forces. It can switch low-speed data (i.e., 16 or 32 Kbps) as well as digital voice channels, and a limited number (i.e., 96 of 744) analog voice circuits. The switches differ from those in commercial use, in that they are:
It interoperates with the smaller Mobile Subscriber Equipment switches, and is being replaced, incrementally, by the AN/TTC-56 switch and Joint Network Node, on the way to the fully packet-switched Warfighter Information Network–Tactical. |
