Dish antennas at Stenigot (David Farrant). We hadden het geluk bij een ongeluk omdat de camper kapot was en we een huurauto hadden. After extensive testing ACE High was accepted by NATO to become operational in 1964/1965. This article is a copy of a copy but it’s all we have. Frequencies used by ACE HIGH (taken from the ITU international catalogue of radio frequencies) ranged from 832.56 to 959.28MHz. Belvedere Troposcatter Station (Andrea Borgnino), Veneti tropscatter station (Andrea Borgnino), Maniva troposcatter station (Andrea Borgnino), Tolfa Ace High Transmitter (Andrea Borgnino), Tolfa Ace High transmitter room (Andrea Borgnino), Tolfa Ace High patch bay (Andrea Borgnino), Tolfa Ace High north antenna (Andrea Borgnino), Tolfa Ace High south antenna (Andrea Borgnino). This would indicate that the Ringstead and Martlesham Heath links were not directly part of ACE HIGH. By the end of the 1980s its replacement was in fact already available but NATO postponed the ACE High phasing-out until 1995 and as of 1996 the 800 MHz band frequencies became available for civilian use again. Binbrook is in Lincs., Boulmer in Northumberland. So in the early 1950s there existed an urgent need for a reliable, fullproof long distance European communications network. Flyswatter antennas on the tower replaced by dishes and an additional microwave tower with dishes to the left of the station. All copyrights acknowledged. The old NATO connections would be replaced by the "Crisis Response NATO Operating System" (CRONOS) and by connections via internet-routers. Nadat ACE High eind jaren tachtig buiten dienst werd gesteld, werden de gebruikte frequenties vrijgegeven voor commercieel gebruik. Date of publication is unknown but looks early 1970s by the typography. Two illustrations were provided with the press release; as these are from photocopies they cannot reproduce very clearly here. The transmitters broadcast at 832.56 - 959.28 MHz producing an average transmitting power of 10 kilowatts.[2]. The frequency supportability and frequency assignments were profited in accordance with the NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement (NJFA). A few members will know about this system, however many new to the club may not: The network would be kept operational until the 1990s as all frequencies then had to be released to the civilian authorities. Initially 60, 30 or 15 ft dish or billboard type antennas have been used in combination with General Electric or RCA AN/MRC80 TRC24; AN/FRC-75 or 39 radio sets. Het systeem had 82 zendstations in negen NAVO-landen; onder meer in België en Nederland. ACE High (Allied Command Europe High) was een telecommunicatienetwerk van de NAVO dat van eind jaren 1950 tot eind jaren 1980 operationeel was. An original section, financed by the United States and operating for the past several years in Norway, has been incorporated into the ACE HIGH network and the first internationally funded station was put into operation by SHAPE almost two years ago. De tekst is beschikbaar onder de licentie. This first picture fails to give the true scale of the dishes, which looked monstrous-and made a good landmark when seen from the M2 motorway in the distance near Junction 5 (A249). In 1966 however France, under president Charles de Gaulle, left NATO and systems had to be rerouted from France to Brunssum in The Netherlands while the former Primary Control Center at Beauvais, was relocated to Lamersdorf, West-Germany. The Coldblow site was sold by auction in September 1986. ACE High NATO Communications System. You will find little about it on the Internet - except here! The type and beaming angle of the antennas depended of the local site position and its distance to the next relays. The ACE High network included the following major sites and terminals, but also connected Line of Sight (LOS) microwave links to other networks reaching C2 centres not listed here.[3]. This ‘new’ microwave tower was an intermediate relay station on the British Forces Broadcasting Service 4GHz chain for taking British television programmes to troops stationed in West Germany. However, they used exactly the same technologies and frequencies. Billboard reflectors at Swingate, Dover (Bob Jenner). The last station in the network, which extends 8,300 route miles, from the northern tip of Arctic Norway to the eastern edge of Turkey, has now been accepted by Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe on behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In the late 1960s the system reached a 99% operational reliability; not because of its components but because of the qualification and dedication of the Mobile Maintenance Team crews. Duncan Campbell’s book The Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier provides an insight into the applications for ACE HIGH (pages 188 and 62). Allied Command Europe Highband (ACE High ) was a fixed service NATO radiocommunication and early warning system dating back to 1956. The rise of the military SATCOM I-III (1971-1994), SATCOM IV (1995-now) network satellites, internet routers, and the Central Region Integrated Communication System (CRICS) and the Crisis Response Operations in NATO Operating Systems (CRONOS) made ACE High obsolete. The first mentions in passing this L-band troposcatter radio system but gives no further detail. Military - Intelligence and Communication, Belvedere: Martinafranca - Località Masseria - Chiantone - Puglia (south east Italy), Veneti: Portogruaro - Veneto (north east Italy), Monte Maniva - Lombardia (northern Italy), Monte Nardello Location - Roccaforte del greco - Calabria (south west Italy). While researching for club talks, I ran across the following link regarding the tropo scatter system used in the 1970s/1980s with eye watering ERPs. There used to be 49 troposcatter links augmented by 40 Line Of Sight Microwave terrestrial stations, located in nine different NATO countries from northern Norway through central Europe to eastern Turkey. Paris and Norway are linked by two routes-one extending from Paris through France, Germany and Denmark into Norway, and the other from Paris to London then northward through the United Kingdom, the Shetland Islands and into Norway. In order to provide the necessary microwave link relay stations, the US Air Force obtained four more facilities at Golden Pot, near Alton, Hants, Dean Hill near Salisbury, Bulbarrow Hill near Shaftesbury, and on Portland Bill. The principle of the tropospheric forward scatter system. Written by Andy Emmerson. The sites illustrated are: Some pictures were taken from The Sale of Defence Ministry Real-Estate website (now defunct) which was full of photos of ex-military bases. This communications technique has many advantages. This network consisted of a number of "backbone" stations covering the 6,800 km (4,200 mi)distance from the north of Norway to the south of Turkey and was initially called the "Over the Horizon Troposperic scatter Communications Net" but was renamed "Allied Command Europe - Highband" (ACE-High). A new tower belonging to Pye Mobile Radio for VHF communications also visible at far left. Television viewers in east Kent of a curious disposition (people like me!) From a site at Swingate in Dover, high on the celebrated chalk cliffs and overlooking the busy harbour and medieval castle, US Air Force transmitters beamed signals towards their counterpart networks run by the US Army and Air Force in France. A press statement by STC issued around 1960 gives a more detailed briefing. “All that was on offer were some brick one-storey buildings (with no secret bunkers attached!). US developed tropospheric diffusion techniques, integrated in a new military communications network appeared to be the solution and in 1956 STC, a planning, design, engineering and installation company had been ordered to develop a new integrated communications network in Europe. At the end of this feature you will see plenty of reader feedback, some of which amends statements made in the main text. 11th June 2019 John Gumb. The system has 570 voice, 260 telegraph and 60 data circuits.In the coming years the system will be gradually replaced. As the stations were accepted by SHAPE, it has assumed responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the network, although the contractor, International Standard Engineering Inc., an affiliate of IT&T [as STC was], is continuing to provide highly skilled engineers and technicians to givc support in the huge task of maintaining the highly complex system and the training of military personnel who operate the stations.”.
