Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) uses cyclic code shift keying (CCSK) for baseband symbol modulation, in which 5-bit information is mapped to one of thirty two 32-chip sequences. It is a kind of direct sequence based spread spectrum communication. In this paper, the performance of non-coherent detection of CCSK using non-orthogonal 32-chip sequence is evaluated. And a 32-chip sequence with better performance is also proposed and compared with the conventional one.

In this paper, we analysis the performance of position estimation when adopting Dynamic TDMA(DTDMA) in JTIDS RelNav. JTIDS RelNav is widely understood as a new navigation solution possibly capable to support or take cover of the role of conventional systems including INS or GPS no matter if they are working well or not. By maximizing the efficiency of radio resource management in MAC(Medium Access Control) layer we enhance the system performance without any replacement of hardware.

Position information is important to carry out military operations. In general, GPS is used to estimate position. However, GPS is vulnerable to jamming due to the low received signal strength, therefore GPS can be easily jammed. The relative navigation is an auxiliary navigation system defined in JTIDS. When GPS is jammed, the relative navigation requires ground reference units on the ground to operate accurately. If the ground reference unit does not exist, nodes operated by the relative navigation depend on the inertial navigation system to identify their position. However, this positioning scheme based on only INS causes accumulative position error, therefore the nodes cannot identify their position accurately for a long time. In this paper, we propose an alternative to reduce position error generated by depending inertial navigation system. In order to verify that the performance of proposed scheme is better than that of the existing scheme, various simulations are conducted.

Link-16 is a up-to-date tactical data link used in the armed forces of U.S. and NATO. In order to guarantee the required capabilities of anti-jamming and low probability of detection, Link-16 uses the techniques of frequency hopping and spreading code etc. In this paper, under Nakagami fading channels, we ananlyze the symbol error rates (SERs) of JTIDS/Link-16-type waveform based on both the single- and double-pulse schemes by considering the partial band noise jamming and the pulse jamming models, respectively.

In this paper, we analyses transmission performance of interleaving for cipher communication in TDMA STD DP mode of aerial tactical communication link. In LINK16 link we present about transmission architecture of STD DP mode and study an effect of interleaving, the capability of crypto synchronization pattern, and a quality of degraded effect of transmission communication during crypto communication.

The joint tactical information distribution system (JTIDS) is used as the communication terminal of Link-16 by the United States armed forces, north atlantic treaty organization (NATO), and other allied forces. A portion of Link-16 frequencies may be shortly remapped to other systems owing to the growing demand for frequencies, especially in civil aviation, which is witnessing a constant increase in air traffic. This will affect the performance of Link-16. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the effect of frequency band reduction on the performance of Link-16 waveform under partial-band noise jamming with Nakagami fading, via simulation and numerical analysis. The multi-net and anti-jamming performance of Link-16 with frequency remapping is compared with that of conventional Link-16 systems. The results show that the performance of Link-16 waveform is degraded with the reduction in frequencies. Nonetheless, Link-16 retains its jam resistance, and it can support multiple users in the same time slots.

The positions of vessels in JTIDS where each vessel broadcasts its position, can be found using the relative navigation method. Besides positioning, the relative navigation could be adopted for identification friend or foe, tracking targets, monitoring battle field and etc. In this paper, we have explained the fundamental operation and technical structure for the relative navigation and implemented the simulation platform to evaluate the basic function and performance of the system in arbitrary environment. Using platform, the availability of relative navigation within the group network and the characteristic of the algorithm for position prediction was verified. Based on the simulation result, it was verified that EKF based navigation algorithm could produce great initial error and need quite convergence time. To improve the performance, we proposed a new navigation algorithm which uses the minimum norm estimation algorithm until the EKF converges. The simulation results reveal the relative navigation can be effectively used in the formation flight and collision avoidance system.
