scope:

This document identifies the procedures, protocols, and parameters to be applied in specifications for DMTDs and C⁴I systems that exchange information with DMTDs. This document addresses the communications protocols and procedures for the exchange of information among DMTDs, among C⁴I systems, and between DMTDs and C⁴I systems participating in inter- and intra-Service tactical networks.

Purpose.

This document promulgates the minimum essential technical parameters in the form of mandatory system standards and optional design objectives for interoperability and compatibility among DMTDs, and between DMTDs and applicable C⁴I systems. These technical parameters are based on the data communications protocol standards specified herein to ensure interoperability.
