NTL-MARINE/WATERWAYS TRANSPORTATION-Ships and Vessels
Abstract:
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) had communications requirements uncommon to Tech Report services. Currently, there were no Defense Message System (DMS) products that could be used to send messages to underway vessels with multiple modes of communications. The DMS architecture did not address some of the problems and operational considerations of a mobile independent user; such as, the requirement to make cost-conscious decisions between different methods of wireless transmission to that user, and then to transmit the message via the best method. The Intelligent Gateway (IG) was a Research and Development (R&D) effort to design an algorithm to provide computer-aided routing of ACP-123/X.400 messages by a USCG Communications Area Master Station (CAMS).
Frequently, there were no Defense Message System (DMS) products that could choose the best path to send messages to underway vessels with multiple mod...
