On the Shipboard Application of Network Time Protocol (NTP, RFC 1305)

Melanie E. Bautista

Abstract:	The rapid evolution of naval combat system computing platforms is inspiring novel approaches in the design of shipboard time distribution systems. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is being considered as a component in some of these new models. This paper presents studies conducted to evaluate the viability of NTP, in general, as a shipboard timekeeping mechanism, and in particular, as a non-mission critical timekeeping mechanism for the AEGIS Weapon System.
