Light Introduction

Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain When they finished filming the ad, the film editor

noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. The ad was never put on TV because of

the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and

you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road......Spooky!

Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide.

NMS Configuration

Distributed environment to provide a MTDL Network Management Capability for the Network Manager

Execute the management and monitoring of operational Link 11 and/or Link 16 networks and ground terminals

Sub Network Management Configuration enables operators at different sites to manage the same operational network

To avoid contention access of the Online plan each network manager capable of being of being allocated responsibilities within the operational network.


NMS SUMMARY

The NMS has been designed to allow multiple streams of data to be managed by a single system to support management of cross border operations

Multiple networks can be simultaneously managed and monitored. Link 11 Link 16

Architecture designed to support new data links Link 22 VMF

Significant enhancements to the FCA package.
