FCA <strong>Monitoring</strong> – Self Reporting<br />
Terminals<br />
There are currently several active discussions regarding<br />
modifications to the MIDS terminal software <strong>for</strong> each radio<br />
to periodically report the number of pulses transmitted in a<br />
given time period.<br />
Advantages<br />
Each radio would be able to account <strong>for</strong> all usage including voice and<br />
stacked nets<br />
Disadvantages<br />
Implementation timeline – MIDS and JTIDS software changes, regression<br />
testing and subsequent field upgrades to the installed plat<strong>for</strong>m base<br />
Cost (see implementation timeline)<br />
<strong>Monitoring</strong> system upgrades – either a new monitoring system would<br />
need to be fielded or upgrades implemented to existing system to<br />
process the reports generated by each radio<br />
Increased TSDF – the reports would need to be transmitted, including<br />
possible relay of transmission usage reports<br />
Network design impacts<br />
Possible host system updates to process own terminal TSDF reports and<br />
send to monitoring units and/or stations<br />
