MIL-STD-188/115, MILITARY STANDARD: INTEROPERABILITY AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COMMUNICATIONS TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSYSTEMS (31 MAR 1986)

MIL-STD-188/115, MILITARY STANDARD: INTEROPERABILITY AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COMMUNICATIONS TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSYSTEMS (31 MAR 1986)., The purpose of this document is to provide a standardized method of timing that will fully support DoD communications timing requirements during peace and war, as well as support new communications functions as the need arises. The technical parameters promulgated by this document represent, in general, minimum interoperability and performance characteristics that may be exceeded in order to satisfy specific requirements. This document provides guidance required to achieve interoperability between existing and future communications facilities. In addition, emphasis has been placed on allowing maximum flexibility of system configurations to satisfy diverse user requirements. This document is not intended to be an engineering textbook or a reference handbook. However, this document does contain technical background information to explain how some of the standards were derived, why certain parameters were standardized, where these standards apply and how the standards are to be used.
