км, где h₁, h₂ - высота расположения антенн в метрах (Справочник по радиоэлектронике. Т. 1. Под ред. Куликовского А.А. - М.: Энергия, 1967, стр. 264.) Даже при расположения антенн на корабле на высоте 1,5 м, дальность связи не превысит 30 км.The disadvantages of both analogs and the prototype can be attributed to the fact that the main means of communication in the tactical link of ship control are VHF radio stations, the communication range of which substantially depends on the antenna height. It is calculated by the formula

km, where h ₁ , h ₂ is the antenna height in meters (Handbook of Radio Electronics. T. 1. Edited by AA Kulikovsky - M .: Energy, 1967, p. 264.) Even when the antennas are located on the ship at an altitude of 1.5 m, the communication range does not exceed 30 km.

The aim of the invention is to expand the technical capabilities of communications of an automated shipborne communications complex in terms of increasing communication distances in the tactical command link.

The KAU 39 ship antenna installation ensures the azimuthal angle to the correspondent (a ship with a similar tropospheric station that is in communication in the troposphere communication channel) of the diagram and the elevation angle of the reemission zone in the troposphere when the ship is rolling and its course changes. (N.Yu. Vorobyov et al. Ship antenna installation of a satellite communications system: mathematical model, control algorithms, construction option. “Electronics Journal” No. 10, 2015.)

The tropospheric communication station 40 provides the exchange of TLF information via short-range communication channels at the operating frequencies of the stations.

AWS DS 34 provides automated switching of terminal equipment (remote communications posts - airborne forces, ShAS equipment) located in various spaces of the ship to channel-forming equipment in accordance with the task:

- formation and management of communication paths;

- management and control of the technical condition of communication and switching equipment;

- input, storage and use of reference information on the organization and status of communication;

- auditory monitoring of communication paths.

AWP DS 34 has two levels of access to information stored in the database:

- lower - “Access of the duty officer on communication”;

- top - "Access to the commander of the warhead."

The upper level of access, unlike the lower, allows you to create new paths and adjust information about radio networks.

The documenting device 15 is designed to document the received and transmitted information processed by the encryption device TLG SHAS 14.

VPS-M 21 is designed to provide TLF radio communications for ship officials. VPS-M operates in simplex communication mode.

The formation of the tropospheric communication path is as follows:

- the duty officer for communications at AW DS 34 determines the tropospheric path for communication;

- Enters the necessary communication parameters (frequency, type of work, etc.);

- AWS DS 34 transmits to the adapter 8, connected to the tropospheric station, a packet of commands containing information about the settings of the tropospheric station and its switching in the desired path of the ship communication complex;

- upon completion of the process of setting up and switching the path of the tropospheric station, a light indication is displayed on the AWP DS 34, informing about the formation of the path and the possibility of starting work in this formed path.

In FIG. 2 conventionally shows two tropospheric stations on the earth (water) surface, the boundaries of their radiation patterns in the vertical plane and the region of re-emissions. The coordinates of this region are located at an altitude of ≈12.5 km in the middle of the distance between the radiation sources, which allows us to unambiguously determine the azimuth and elevation angle of the re-emission region.

Thus, when implementing the proposed technical solution, involving the use of tropospheric stations on ships in conjunction with the ship’s antenna installation of the ship’s space communications station, the communication range in the operational-tactical link of ship control will be significantly increased.
