Abstract :
The existence of precise timing as a system is a little recognized but important factor in the new military systems. The new modes of intra-system, inter-system and inter-platform operation require not only a common reference but also survivable means of acquiring and maintaining precise time. Accuracy and survivability of timing is a unique issue involving the common reference, the dissemination systems, and on-board timekeeping. Recent progress, some discussion of the issues, and potential solutions are given.
