• Link-‐16 is the Radio Frequency component of MIL-‐STD 6016 and is generally associated with MIDS radios. • Joint Range Extension Applica:on Protocol (JREAP) is a fixed format derivaJve of MIL-‐STD 6016. It allows the user the ability to use Combat Network Radios, Internet, and Satellite to share any type of 6016 informaJon directly with other users. • Variable Message Format (VMF) or MIL-‐STD 6017 is a derivaJve of MIL-‐STD 6016. It allows the user to define tacJcal message structure and the ability to use Combat Network Radios to share basic tacJcal data (posiJon and text) point-‐to-‐point. • Blue Force Tracker (BFT) uses the VMF protocol via stand alone proprietary satellite link to share situaJonal awareness and text. • Full Mo:on Video (FMV) provides omni-‐direcJonal video outputs to in band receivers in the air and on the ground. • Composite Tracking Network (CTN) allows radars to share sensor data to refine the air porJon of the Common TacJcal Picture.
