MIL-STD-188-164B
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Define the military SHF SATCOM earth terminals interface in terms of physical, functional, and acceptable performance criteria necessary to support program managers and buying activities in the strategy of interoperable and compatible earth terminals, which are vital for effective joint and combined forces communication.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the title, number, and date of this standard. Because the United States ratifying official for NATO STANAG 4484, Overall Super High Frequency (SHF) Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Interoperability Standard, did not designate MIL-STD-188-164 as the form for implementing the
STANAG in the "ratification document," the title, edition, and
date of ratification of the STANAG should be directly cited in solicitations and contracts, when the terminals will be used to
communicate with NATO participating nations.
6.3 Tailoring guidance. To ensure proper application of this standard, invitations for bids, requests for proposals, and contractual statements of work (SOW) can specify which of the requirements in section 5 of this standard apply to exclude any non-applicable requirements (for example, environmental requirements). Specific values are modified within the appendices to address specific terminal types. It is highly recommended that any exclusions are coordinated with the appropriate terminal certification authority to avoid any issues during terminal performance certification.
6.4 Subject term (key-word) listing. The following key words, phrases, and acronyms apply to this MIL-STD:
C-band
Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) Ka-band, commercial
Ka-band, military
Ku-band
