Description
Summary:The automatic mobile director and reporting system (AMDRS) was designed to provide continuous control of each field unit. Consisting of three major subsystems: control center, command computer, and field unit, AMDRS is intended to provide real-time control with a minimum radio-frequency spectrum usage. Both the control center and the field unit make use of visual displays. An automatic vehicle locator and director is included to furnish position information directly to a vehicle operator. All digital message functions are automatically handled by the computer including optimum unit selection. Among the advantages claimed for AMDRS are: 1) real-time command with a minimum of spectrum usage 2) instant direction without requiring the field unit operator to depend on maps or memory 3) a degree of privacy owing to digital communications 4) system flexibility allowing various degrees of implementation.
