AN/TSC-110 Adaptable Surface Interface Terminal (ASIT)
The AN/TSC-110 Adaptable Surface Interface Terminal (ASIT) van operates as a segment of the Joint Tactical Information Distribution
System (JTIDS) network. The JTIDS is an advanced radio system that provides a
secure, radio frequency (RF), digital data bus for tactical communications. The ASIT
van interfaces with the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) and
receives the air picture via a Tactical Digital Information Link, type J (TADIL-J) and
converts the data into a TADIL-B format which is used to pass the air picture to the
TAOM thereby increasing the overall air picture.
