Precise Time Technology for Selected Air Force Systems: Present Status and Future Requirements

N.F. Yannoni

Abstract:	Precise time and time interval (PTTI) technology is becoming increasingly significant to Air Force operations as digital techniques find expanded utility in military missions. Timing has a key role in the functions of communication and identification as well as in navigation. A survey of the PTTI needs of several Air Force systems will be presented. Current technology supporting these needs will be reviewed and new requirements will be emphasized for systems as they transfer from initial development to final operational deployment. The PTTI program activity in the Signal Processing and Timing Devices Section of the RADC Solid State Sciences Division is reviewed, and a survey is presented of areas of mutual interest to Government and industry in planning and execution of PTTI research and development programs.
