Automated communication system 90

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The automated communication system 90 (also AutoKo 90 or automated corps trunk network 90 ) is a so-called wide area network and is used by the Bundeswehr . The participants in the network are automatically connected to all other participants in the network and forwarded to other networks ( SatCom ) via interfaces . The AutoKo can therefore be viewed as a network level between the end level ( BIGSTAF ) and the remote level (SatCom).

technology

Technically, the AutoKo consists of two different radio relay systems, namely the FM 1000 and FM 15000, the range of which is designed for their different tasks. The FM 15000 has an average range of approx. 15 km and is used, as an alternative to the cable connection, to connect the BIGSTAF end level to the remote level.

With a range of up to 60 km, the FM 1000 is used to mesh the individual network nodes . This meshing of the network components enables the automatic participant search. This means that a detour search also takes place automatically, even if individual network nodes cannot be reached.

The AutoKo therefore consists of 3 different components, the network node, the Rifu forces and the Elcromux forces.

history

In 1977 AutoKo I was introduced as the first forerunner of the current system. AutoKo II followed in 1985, which was replaced by AutoKo 90 in 1995. The wide area network AutoKo 90, together with the wireless dial-up network DWN / SCRA and the BIGSTAF, form a cornerstone for the telecommunications system of the German army.
