Development of STANAG 5066 ed. 3 DTS
| Resumo: | The STANAG 5066 serves as a pivotal standard that aims to guarantee a reliable means of communication over an HF radio channel. This dissertation will focus on the NCIA baseline implementation of the STANAG 5066 with the aim of improving it and ensuring its compliance with edition 3 of the specification. Due to the complexity of the STANAG 5066, the work performed was limited to the DTS, which is the sublayer responsible for the exchange of data over the HF channel. The document starts with a description of the DTS specification to provide the theoretical foundation necessary to understand the practical aspects of the implementation by addressing several concepts crucial for HF radio communications using this protocol. The description of the DTS implementation begins by exploring the architecture used by NCIA to address various aspects and design considerations that ensure that the DTS is able to perform in accordance with its specification. After providing the theoretical background and understanding of the DTS architecture, the dissertation will delve into the practical aspects of implementing the DTS to emphasize the practical challenges and considerations that must be taken into account to ensure a reliable and stable means of communication. The characterization of the DTS emphasizes how it implements each feature and the algorithms to maintain data communications over the HF radio. To finalize and validate the implementation of the STANAG 5066 stack and DTS in particular, several tests were outlined to evaluate each implemented feature and verify its compliance with the STANAG 5066 edition 3. The test scenarios were designed to emulate different conditions that may occur when operating over HF radio to monitor and record the behaviour of the stack and DTS to guarantee its compliance and adequate response to issues that may occur. |
