TO ACHIEVE DIRECT INTEROPERABILITY AMONG ALL PROVIDERS OF HIGH FREQUENCY
(HF) BASED AUXILIARY COMMUNICATIONS TO THE U.S. MILITARY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT
THE USE OF MIL-STD AND STANDARD NATO (STANAG) COMPLIANT WAVEFORMS AND
PROTOCOLS AND SUPPORTING STANDARD’S BY MARS IS A REQUIREMENT.
LINUX DEVELOPERS BOARD CONCEPT
Created by NNN0WWL
In early 2014 the evaluation of economical embedded Linux developers boards
began. Much less expensive than DSP based developers boards by factors of
10x in some cases. The Beagle Bone Black for example will support low symbol
rate 2G ALE and MS110A App. A and B OFDM modems but its not looking
good for support of 3G ALE, MS110A/B or STANAG serial tone waveforms.
EMBEDDED INDUSTRIAL PC CONCEPT
Also evaluated in 2014 although more expensive than a Linux
developer board, but providing more CPU power with Windows
Embedded Standard 7 for use of MARS-ALE and MS-DMT.

2014 MIL-STD TACTICAL TERMINAL CONCEPT
Created by NNN0WWL
A RapidM Tactical Terminal next to an image of a handheld concept of a Tactical Terminal
based on the form factor of a modern wireless keyboard and pointing device with TFT LCD.
The premise being based on an embedded Linux or DSP developers board and powered by
a Lithium battery. The question in early 2014 was if a similar low cost OEM device that is
Open DSP SDK, Linux or Windows Embedded Standard based was awaiting discovery?
2015 “MIL-STD TACTICAL TERMINAL” DEBUT !
Created by NNN0WWL
MS-DMT/Tablet Edition (MS-DMT/TE) running
on an under $100USD Intel Atom (Z37356) based
1.33Ghz Win8.1 Tablet PC now represents the
first generation of an economical MARS
handheld “Tactical Terminal” solution!
Created by NNN0WWL
As a Tactical Terminal, out-of-the-box an Intel Atom
Win8.1 Tablet PC such as the Winbook TW700 used in
development testing of MS-DMT/TE are feature rich
and provide the processing power, RAM and low
latency performance required with no tailoring!

The USB ports can be used for radio CAT control and
audio interfacing, UFD storage, keyboard, pointing
device, etc. with the addition of a powered hub.
The Micro SD Card Slot can be used to augment the
small amount of SSD storage.
The Speaker/MIC can be use for wired or
emergency acoustic based radio audio interfacing. It
can also be used for Digital Voice as the Analog I/O
port.
The Front and Rear cameras can be used for taking
images and making short videos in the field at the
EMCOM site for relay via various means to even
include conversion to ASCII files for radio
transmission or sent as compressed binary files via
an appropriate ARQ mode.
MS-DMT TAILORED FOR TABLET PC

The MS-DMT/TE GUI has been tailored to provide a better Touch Screen
experience down to use on a 7 inch Tablet PC devices.
In addition direct support has been added for Touch Screen keyboard
operation.
MS-DMT/TE use on small screens is recommended when oriented vertically.
TOUCH KEYBOARD SUPPORT

The Touch Keyboard type
selected for use is launched on
program start and can be
reopened at a tap of the
KEYBOARD button.
A Touch Keyboard configured as
docked will always locate at the
bottom of the screen with the
outgoing message window auto
resized to accommodate.
All selections in MS-DTM/TE
return the mouse pointer to the
outgoing message window for
immediate message editing.

Tactical
Terminal solution is shown
receiving traffic using MSDMT/TE.
The USB cable provides
IC7200 CAT control for DATA
port selection for TX audio
path, CAT PTT and two-way
audio.

STANAG 4591 (MELP-e/MELP) over MS110A or
S4285 operating at 600, 1200 and 2400bps.
The Tablet PC in handheld use would make for a
natural Digital Voice platform where the user can
rapidly switch between Digital Voice and Data at
tap of the touch screen and also go analog voice at
any time.
The Tablet PC’s built-in Sound Device support and
Mic/Speaker or a plug-in Mic/Headset makes the
Tablet a natural for the analog audio I/O
requirement for MIL-STD Digital Voice with the USB
port sound device for the data modem.
