Military Messaging Over Low Bandwidth Networks

Military messages often need to be transferred over low bandwidth networks such as HF radio and other 'constrained communication channels'. The two military specifications which have evolved to deal with such a messaging environment are the CCEB (Combined Communications-Electronics Board – AU, CA, NZ, US, UK) developed ACP 142 and NATO's STANAG 4406 Annex E.

This paper describes scenarios that require these special technologies, and then gives an overview of the technologies and how they address the technical problems. Then the paper describes Isode's approach to implementing these protocols, and how this addresses basic and advanced operational problems, management approaches and integration with other components as part of a larger solution.
