BY ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE OFFICIAL JOHN W. HANDY, Lieutenant General, USAF Deputy Chief of Staff/Installations and Logistics 1 Atch Handbook ____________ Supersedes AFQTP 300X0-201LB, dated 21 Nov 1996 OPR: HQ USAF/LGMM OCR: 81 TRSS/TSQA DISTRIBUTION: F TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE Resource constraints in the Air Force are impacting the availability of our most valuable resource - manpower. This condition which will continue to exist in the future, makes it essential for the work force to be effectively trained to perform duties within each level of an Air Force Specialty (AFS). This handbook is another tool that will enable the Air Force and each MAJCOM to place the needed emphasis on total career field training. This handbook is identified as a mandatory training requirement in several Career Field Training Education Plan. The information in this handbook is intended for use by Air Force Communications-Electronics (C-E) Managers. It provides information gathered through subject matter experts and the members of the Maintenance and Training Advisory Group, to familiarize senior NCOs on C-E systems likely to be encountered by senior NCOs as they assume C-E management responsibilities. The contents of the handbook are not to be used as a basis for inspections of evaluation. The handbook is a specialized publication for familiarization and training purposes only; it is NOT a technical reference. This handbook was published 1 August 93 by the 81st Training Support Squadron. This latest revision was revised by TSgt Billy J. Colson and SSgt Martin F. Rivera members of “TEAM WIRE” at the 81 TRSS/TSQ at Keesler AFB MS. i FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND LANDING SYSTEMS — ATCALS........................1 RADAR SYSTEMS AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE RADAR -

History of the Internet Introduction Perhaps one of the greatest inventions of our time is the Internet. Without a doubt, the net has had a profound effect on almost every aspect of our lives. The formation of the Internet has changed the way we do business, communicate, entertain, retrieve information, and even educate ourselves. Nevertheless, the Internet might not have ever materialized if it had not been for some innovative thinkers from the Advanced Research Project Agency, who created "ARPANET." In collaboration with several educational and research institutions, the agency created the packet- switching technologies that form the basis of the Internet today. The Internet Timeline display illustrates a chronology of notable events that led to the Internet's creation and concludes with the thirtieth anniversary of the ARPANET experiment.

    DEPAF~TMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ORDER FE )ERAL.AVIATION ADMINISTRATION 6365.1A 1/3/83 SUBJ: U.S. NATIONAL AVIATION STANDARD FOR THE MODE SELECT BEACON SYSTEM (MODE S) 1. PURPOSE. This order establishes the U.S. National Aviation Standard for the *Mode Select Beacon System (Hode S) which defines the performance requirements of the Mode S system. * 2. DISTRIBUTION. The order is distributed to the director level in Washington with a division level distribution in the Acquisition and Materiel, Air Traffic, Program Engineering and Maintenance, and Systems Engineering Services, the Offices of Airworthiness, Flight Operations, and Budget; to the director level in the regions, with division level distribution in Air Traffic, Airway Facilities, and Flight Standards Divisions; to the director level at the Aeronautical Center with division level distribution to the FAA Depot; and to the director level at the FAA Technical Center with division level distribution in the Systems Test and Evaluation and Systems Simulation and Analysis Divisions. 3. CANCELLATION. Order 6365.1, u.s. National Aviation Standard for the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS), dated December 9, 1980; is cancelled. 4 • BACKGROUND. * a. It was recognized in a study conducted for the Department of Transportation in 1968, that improvements would be required in the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) to support air traffic control through the 1990's. Also recognized was the need for a data link system to support enhanced automation with sufficient capacity to meet traffic growth through the same period. b. The concept that emerged was a discrete address beacon system with an integral data link.

    Chapter 8 The Birth and Development of the ARPANET by Ronda Hauben [email protected] “The Nutrition of a Commonwealth consisteth, in the Plenty, and the Distribution of Materials, Condusive to Life.” Thomas Hobbes The Leviathan “The method I take…is not yet very usual; for instead of using only comparative and superlative words, and intellectual arguments, I have taken the course (as a Specimen of the Political Arithmetic I have long aimed at) to express myself in terms of Number, Weight, or Measure; to use only arguments of Sense, and to consider only such Causes, as have visible Foundations in Nature; leaving those that depend upon the mutable Minds, Opinions, Appetites, and Passions of particular Men, to the Conservation of others.” Sir William Petty, Political Arithmetic Preface The creation of a Global Computer Network is one of the surprising developments of our times. This achievement raises the question: What are the factors that nourished the growth and development of this network and what are those creating impediments to its continued development and expansion?1 Introduction J. C. R. Licklider was one of the early computer pioneers who helped to make the global computer network a reality. His vision of an Intergalactic Computer Network helped to inspire these developments. He and Albert Vezza, describing an earlier networking advance, wrote, “Shakespeare could have been foreseeing the present situation in information networking when he said, ‘…What’s past is prologue; what’s to come, in yours and my discharge’.”2 The story of the network’s growth and development contains important lessons for its continued expansion.

The audit was performed from August 1988 to July 1989. Our overall audit objective was to determine whether the development and implementation of the Defense Data Network (the Network) had proceeded on schedule and in a cost-effective manner consistent with guidance established in 1983 by the then Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD[R&E]). Specific audit objectives were to determine if increases to original program cost estimates were reasonable and justified, if the Network was responsive to the needs of DoD users, and if applicable internal controls were adequate. Another specific audit objective was to determine if methods used to obtain contractor support were in compliance with applicable acquisition regulations and would produce cost-effective results. This audit objective was deferred to a future audit of Network contract support. The audit was limited to the Military Network, or unclassified segment of the Defense Data Network, because the General Accounting Office completed an audit of the classified segment of the Defense Data Network in January 1989. We estimated the program costs for the Network at $1.039 billion for FY 1982 through FY 1992.

    CHAPTER 8 IDENTIFICATION EQUIPMENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES After you finish this chapter , you should be able to do the following: 1. Describe a basic IFF system and how it operates. 2. Identify the AIMS MK XII IFF system components and explain their operation. 3. Explain the use of the AIMS MK XII equipment in a jamming environment and in emergency (Mode 4) operations. INTRODUCTION ATCRBS Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) is the system that IFF Identification Friend or Foe ships and stations use to identify friendly aircraft and MK XII Mark XII ships. Since hostile aircraft, with their fast speeds, pose S System a greater threat than ships, we will concentrate on aircraft IFF procedures. However, some of the IFF Today, all U.S. armed forces use the AIMS (Mark procedures also can be used for identifying ships.

They also use AIMS for an approaching aircraft is friendly sends out a special tracking and controlling aircraft. In the military world, electronic signal in the direction of the aircraft.
