| Abstract |
The U.S. Navy's Precise Time and Time Interval (PTTI) Program is a worldwide effort to provide all Navy surface, subsurface, air and shore platforms and their communications, navigation and weapon systems with time and frequency references traceable to the U.S. Naval observatory's (NAVOBSY) Master Clock System (MCS). The PTTI System Concept is comprised of three elements; i.e., the NAVOBSY MCS, the PTTI Dissemination System and the Standardized PTTI Platform Distribution System (PDS). While undergoing continuous change and upgrade, two of these elements, the NAVOBSY MCS and the PTTI Dissemination System, do in fact exist today. This paper therefore describes very briefly the PTTI System Concept, the NAVOBSY MCS and the PTTI Dissemination System. The majority of the paper is devoted, however, to an overview of the Navy's Standardized PTTI PDS. |
