Traditional thinking regarding the data transfer vehicle needed to interconnect elements of a distributed processing combat system generally envisions one or more data busses. This paper presents the somewhat unorthodox viewpoint that a distributed switching network is a better transition vehicle for moving from today's federated architectures to the distributed-processing architectures of the future. The structure and operation of a distributed switching network concept, called Standard Information Transfer Architecture for Combat Systems (SITACS), is briefly described. Simulation results are presented which show throughput and timing values considerably better than that achievable by data bus systems.

HALL, JON W.ANDERSON, MICHAEL D.USCGLCdr. Jon W. Hall
USCGenlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1960 and subsequently served in a number of High Endurance Cutters as an Electronics Technician. In 1969. LCdr. Hall was commissioned an Ensign. U.S. Coast Guard. upon graduation from the Coast Guard Officer Candidate School Yorktown. Va.His first assignment as a commissioned officer was in theUSCGC Hamiltonas a Deck Watch Officer and Electronics Material Officer. He then served as the High Endurance Cutter Representative for Electronics in the First Coast Guard District. Boston Mass. and later at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington D.C. In June 1978. he was assigned to the New Construction Section of Electronics Engineering. located in Coast Guard Headquarters. as a 270-foot WMEC Project Officer. Currently he is the Chief. New Cosntruction Section responsible for overseeing the development and installation of the 270-foot WMEC electronics package. LCdr. Hall is a graduate of Wentworth Institute Boston. Mass. and has an associate degree in Electronics Technology. Lt.(j. g.) Michael D. Anderson
USCGgraduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. New London Conn. in June 1976. with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. He served in theUSCGC Madronaas Deck Watch Officer. Communications Officer and Electronics Officer. In August 1977 he was assigned to the Electronics Engineering Division U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters. and until October 1978 held the Type Desk for Electronics Installations in Coast Guard Buoy Tenders Tugs and River Tenders.

The Shipboard Data Multiplex System (SDMS) is a general purpose information transfer system directed toward fulfilling the internal data Intercommunication requirements of a variety of naval combatant ships and submarines in the 1980–1990 time frame. The need for a modern data transfer system of the size and capability of SDMS has been increase in unison with the sophistication of shipboard electronic equipment and the associated magnitude of equipment-to-equipment signal traffic. Instead of the miles of unique cabling that must be specifically designed for each ship, SDMS will meet information transfer needs with general-purpose multiplex cable that will be Installed according to a standard plan that does not vary with changes to the ship's electronics suite. Perhaps the greatest impact of SDMS will be the decoupling of ship subsystems from each other and from the ship. Standard multiplex interfaces will avoid the cost and delay of modifying subsystems to make them compatible. The ability to wire a new ship according to a standard multiplex cable plan, long before the ship subsystems are fully defined, frees both the ship and the subsystems to develop at their own pace, will allow compression of the development schedules and will provide ships with more advanced subsystems. This paper describes the SDMS system currently being developed by the U.S. Navy.
