MIL-STD-188-154A
w/CHANGE 1
FOREWORD
1. This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD).
2. In accordance with DoD Instruction 4630.8, it is DoD policy that all forces for joint and combined operations be supported through compatible, interoperable, and integrated command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) systems. Furthermore, all C3I systems developed for use by US forces are considered for joint use. The Director, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), serves as the DoD single point of contact for developing information technology standards to achieve interoperability and compatibility. All C3I systems and equipment shall conform to technical and procedural standards for compatibility and interoperability, as developed or recommended by DISA.
3. MIL-STDs in the 188 series (MIL-STD-188-XXX) address telecommunications design parameters based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies and are used in all new DoD systems and equipment, or major upgrades thereto, to ensure interoperability. The MIL-STD-188 series is subdivided into a MIL-STD-188-100 series covering common standards for tactical and long haul communications, a MIL-STD-188-200 series covering standards for tactical communications only, and a MIL-STD-188-300 series covering standards for long haul communications only. Emphasis is being placed on developing common standards for tactical and long haul communi- cations published in the MIL-STD-188-100 series. MIL-STD-188 series may be based on, or make reference to, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendations, International Standards Organization (ISO) standards, North American Treaty Organization (NATO) standardization agreements (STANAG), and other standards, wherever applicable.
4. This standard establishes physical and functional interface require- ments for digital and analog equipments in telecommunications control facilities (formerly technical control facilities) for both long haul and tactical environments. This standard supersedes MIL-STD-188-154: Subsystem, Equipment, and Interface Standards for Common Long Haul and Tactical Technical Control Facilities.
