CTRS is a direct replacement for the USH-26 Cartridge Magnetic Tape Unit (CMTU). It combines the advantages of an off-the-shelf solution with a robust design that can withstand rigorous use. Using up-to-date technology and an intuitive graphical user interface, it is logically identical to the USH-26 so no program changes are required on the host computer. CTRS adds powerful capabilities not possible with the USH-26 such as networking, remote control, and greatly increased storage capacity. It is configured with a choice of NTDS parallel or serial interfaces and uses military connectors that mate with existing cables to further simplify the transition and save costs.
