Scope.

This Military Standard (MIL-STD) addresses part of the communications protocol and procedures for the exchange of digital data among DMTDs, between DMTDs and C4I systems, and among C4I systems participating in inter- and intra-Service tactical networks. The material is presented in the context of ISO 7498-1 Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), as documented in national and international standards.

Purpose.

The purpose of MIL-STD-2045-47001 is to present the minimum essential technical parameters in the form of mandatory requirements and optional capabilities for interoperability and compatibility among digital message transfer devices (DMTDs), between DMTDs and applicable command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systems and among C4I systems using digital data for information transfer over limited bandwidth communication channels.
