UHF SATCOM DEMAND ASSIGNMENT MULTIPLE ACCESS (DAMA) CONTROL SYSTEM STANDARDS DUE 042195. POC Mr. Sam George (908) 532-7719, DSN: 992-7719. UHF SATCOM DEMAND ASSIGNMENT MULTIPLE ACCESS (DAMA) CONTROL SYSTEM STANDARD POC: Mr. Sam George, (908) 532-7719, DSN: 992-7719. The Department of Defense (DOD) is soliciting participation in the development of an interface standard that will document the technical criteria for interoperability and performance of the integrated 5-kHz and 25-kHz UHF satellite communications (SATCOM) demand assignment multiple access (DAMA) multi-channel network control systems procured by DOD Such systems will implement the concept of decentralized resource management and centralized system control endorsed by the Joint Staff. This standard (currently designated MIL-STD-188-185) will be interoperable with the existing waveform structures defined in MIL-STD-188-182, Interoperability Standard for 5-kHz UHF DAMA Terminal Waveform and MIL-STD-188-183, Interoperability Standard for 25-kHz UHF TDMA/DAMA Terminal Waveform. Government and industry organizations interested in contributing information and participating in the development of this standard are requested to notify Mr. Sam George, in writing, by 21 April 1995 at DISA/JIEO Center For Standards, ATTN: TBBC, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5613. All Information provided by industry participants during the development of this standard shall be nonproperietary and at no cost to the government. All organizations participating in this effort must do so at their own expense. This announcement will not obligate DISA/JIEO Center For Standards or any other government organizations to reimburse any participant's expenses. Only written responses to this announcement will be accepted. DOD cannot asure that any procurement will result from the standard developed.
