The terminals operate in both X and Ka band transmitting and receiving communications (full duplex) via geo-stationary over the Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), and Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) constellation. The AN/SSC-15 provides downlink capability for receiving Global Broadcast Service (GBS). The AN/SSC-15 interfaces with DDG-1000 Total Ships Computing Environment (TSCE), Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI), and Automated Digital Network System (ANDS) systems. The TSCE is a network that controls all computing applications on the DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer. TSCE includes systems for command, control, communications, and intelligence (C4I).
