RF Communications systems that support end-to-end communications include ______ and ______.

RF Communications systems that support end-to-end communications include ______ and ______.

• A. RF circuits; Pier Connnectivity
• B. RF circuits; ADNS
• C. ADNS; CENTRIXS
• D. ISNS; SCI

Answer: (C)

End-to-end RF communications rely on more than just the radio link; they require the data networking and coalition-interoperability layers that carry and secure information across the entire path from one end to another. ADNS provides the shipboard data network, handling the routing and bridging between the radio interfaces and the internal networks that allow applications to run and data to move. CENTRIXS builds on that by offering secure, cross-domain interoperability with allied networks, enabling trusted information exchange across partners. Put together, the radio path connects through the ship’s network (ADNS) and out to coalition partners via CENTRIXS, delivering complete end-to-end communications. The other options mix in either only the RF transmission piece or networks that don’t provide the necessary cross-domain interoperability, so they don’t achieve end-to-end capability.
