DTS-K CP-2635(C)/A LINK-11
DTS-K CP-2635(C)/A LINK-11 – DATA TERMINAL SET
WITH EMBEDDED CRYPTO
The DRS DTS-K CP-2635(C)/A – Link-11 Data Terminal
Set with Embedded Crypto is designed to house data
link modem and cryptographic equipment in one
chassis of either a fixed or a rotary wing aircraft. The
DTS-K is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based
system comprised of a VME bus-based chassis, and
circuit boards that contains the software that enables
the circuit boards to perform a Link-11 data terminal
set and crypto functions.
Its current design accommodates operation via
software-selectable switching, but design work has
been done to allow for simultaneous Link-22 operation
in a future configuration. The DTS-K has been certified
by the National Security Agency (NSA).
the radio are converted to binary data and input to the
computer. Third, the DTS-K provides the encryption and
decryption needed for Communication Security
(COMSEC).
Designed for the military aircraft environment, the
DTS-K has a remote control (e.g., from the cockpit)
feature that enables remote operation of the unit
over an RS-232 compatible link. In addition to the
Conventional Link-11 Waveform (CLEW), the DTS-K
also provides the Single-tone Link-11 Waveform
(SLEW) for improved performance in the presence of
multipath, commonly found in the High Frequency (HF)
environment.
The DTS-K has three primary functions in a Tactical
Data Information Link (TADIL) net. First, the DTS-K
handles the message flow required to pass net
transmission from one station to another. Second,
it accepts binary digital data from the computer and
converts it to phase-modulated audio tones for the
radio. For reception of information, audio tones from
