scope:

This commercial item description covers a data communication system for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) used to protect sensitive conventional arms, ammunition and explosives (AA&E). The DTMDCS uses dual transmission media (telephone link with backup cellular radio link) to assure successful notification of alarm and status change conditions.

The DTMDCS is intended to provide IDS alarm and system status data communications from one or more control units (also referred to as remote area data collectors, alarm panels, alarm controls, premise control units, etc.) which are located in the protected area, to a remotely located monitor console (Central Station, remote status monitor, etc.).

NOTE: The Digital Control/Communicator (DCC) described herein could be used as a stand-alone device without requiring a control unit; however, the intended application is for use with existing control units of the Joint-Services Interior Intrusion Detection System (J-SIIDS). The J-SIIDS Control Unit has three outputs: alarm or not alarm, secure or access (armed or disarmed), and AC power present or absent. Beneficial comments, recommendations, additions, deletions, clarifications, etc. and other data which may improve this document should be sent to: USA Communications-Electronics Command, Logistics & Readiness Center, ATTN AMSEL LC ED BD, 10115 Gridley Rd, Suite 228, Ft Belvoir, VA 22060-5849.
