Popis:	The modern day surface ship is composed of a number of individual systems which together operate the platform. Vital to making such a collection of systems work in this real-time environment is a common understanding of time. As additional functions and processors are added to systems, more demands are being placed on the time distribution function. Experience has shown that currently employed techniques for time distribution are not scalable to the more distributed approaches for building shipboard control systems. Use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components also drives the need for new approaches to implementing time services. This paper presents requirements for time services, an overview of current time synchronization approaches, and a technical approach being investigated for future shipboard time synchronization.
