Working for the DoD, we are frequently required to develop systems on standard miltary hardware, such as the UYK-7, UYK-20, UYK-43, and UYK-44 computers from Sperry. I need to know if any work has been done for interfacing these types of computers to a commercial LAN (Ethernet, etc.) using NTDS interfaces. NTDS is Navy Tactical Data System, and the types of interfaces include NTDS Slow, NTDS Fast, and ANEW. I would think a network interface processor would have to do the conversion from NTDS - Ethernet (or whateverNet). Do these processors exist? Currently I have only heard of one effort for an NTDS computer fiber-optic ring, which is very application specific. Are there any others?
