PURPOSE
The BGU is an automated management system designed to meet a critical
requirement for a decentralized and automated system to generate print, store,
and electronically transfer both single channel and frequency hopping CEOI
information.
BGU will generate and load frequency hopping information for
radios and the Transmission Security (TRANSEC) Key (TSK) for ECCM protection.
The BGU is intended to be more responsive to rapidly changing and highly
mobile battlefield conditions as an integral subsystem of SINCGARS, High
Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF) AM/FM, and Ultra High Frequency
(UHF) radio systems.
CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES
The BGU is able to electronically transfer and receive data from another BGU or
DTD .
The BGU os also capable of generating, processing, displaying, printing, and
storing SOI/CEOI information (e.g., net descriptions, call signs, frequencies
(including al 1 four bands:
HF, VHF-AM, VHF-FM, UHF), suffixes and expanders,
sign/countersign, smoke and pyrotechnics), and frequency hopping information for
SINCGARS and other radio system (e.g., Net IDs Manual frequencies, CUE
frequencies, and hopset information), and electronic transfer of information and
loading of ECCM fill devices, DTDs, and frequency hopping radios. The BGU will
also generate, store, and distribute the TRANSEC Keys. The BECS will generate
current single channel CEOI and provide password protection.
