Sea Viking: expeditionary tactical communications system
Article Abstract:
The development of expeditionary tactical communication system (ETCS) started in September 2002 and it has shown the potential to provide unrestricted over-the-horizon (OTH), on-the-move (OTM) voice and data communications to the dismounted Marine warfighters from the shipboard landing force operations center, through the well deck or flight deck and to the objective, where ever they may be. The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) investigates the OTH and OTM communications capabilities for experimentation in Sea Viking 04 (SV 04).
