AN/UGC-144 Communications Terminal
The Communications
Terminal (CT) is a digital communications
terminal with an automated message
composing and storage capability to simplify
message handling. It is designed for
transportability and provides access to the
Automatic Digital Network (AUTODIN).
The AN/UGC-144 is a user friendly
keyboard, display, "stand alone" message
terminal for composition, editing, refilling,
transmitting, receiving, monitoring, and storing
record traffic messages. It has a 40 MB
internal hard drive and a removable auxiliary
cassette containing at least 512 KB which provides additional capability for easy storage
of messages or additional terminal software.
The menu-driven software, man-portable characteristics, accessibility, expandability and
ease of maintenance allows the AN/UGC-144 to be employed at all echelons of a tactical
communications system. The Single Subscriber Terminal (SST) is designed to operate
with TRI-TAC switching equipment at data rates of 75 to 2400 KBS. With the
appropriate data modem, it is capable of operating directly into AUTODIN Modes I, II,
and VI.
