 ANSWERS
1. shore to shore communication is the fixed military
communication.
Advantages-
a. fixed stations.
b. High powered transmissions.
c. Directional aerials.
d. Rapid and secure transmissions if teleprinters and
cryptographic devices are used.
2.methods of ship to shore complexes-
a. SIMPLEX: this method uses one frequency and shore
stations replied in same frequency.
b. HALF DUPLEX: in this method ship calls on one frequency
and shore station answers on separate frequency.
c. DUPLEX: this method uses two frequencies. Ship calls on
one frequency and shore stations answers on normal answering
frequency.
d. CROSS-BAND: this method uses three frequencies. Ship
calls on calling frequency and shift to working frequency. The
shore stations replies on a third frequency known as answering
frequency.

3. a) PASSIVE SATELLITE: a passive satellite is used

purely as a reflector signal transmitted from earth stations.

b) TACTICAL COMMUNICATION: it is designed to enable

the OTC to control and co-ordinate the movements,
sensors and weapons of his force at all time.
