NOT MEASUREMENT SENSITIVE DRAFT MIL-STD-188-110B 9 MARCH 2000 SUPERSEDING MIL-STD-188-110A 30 SEPTEMBER 1991 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INTERFACE STANDARD INTEROPERABILITY AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR DATA MODEMS AMSC N/A AREA TCSS MIL-STD-188-110B FOREWORD 1. This Military Standard is approved and mandatory for use by all Departments and Agencies of Defense (DoD) in accordance with DoD Instruction 5000.2, dated 23 February 1991. 2. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: AFCA/ITS, Scott AFB, IL 62225-6343, by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document, or by letter. 3. As a result of a Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) action, standards for all military communications are now being published in a MIL-STD-188 series of documents. 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 communications published in the MIL-STD-188-100 series. 4. This document contains technical standards and design objectives for minimum interface and performance standards pertinent to voice frequency band modulators-demodulators (modems) which operate in both long-haul and tactical communications systems. The terms "system standard" and "design objective (DO)" are defined in FED-STD-1037. In this document, the word "shall" identifies mandatory system standards. The word “should” identifies DOs that are desirable but not mandatory. ii MIL-STD-188-110B CONTENTS PARAGRAPH PAGE FOREWORD ii 1. SCOPE 1 1.1 Scope 1 1.2 Applicability 1 1.3 Application guidance 1 2.

This document establishes mandatory technical standards and design objectives (DO) that are necessary to ensure interoperability and to promote performance among data modulators- demodulators (modems) used in the voice frequency (VF) band of long-haul and tactical communications systems. This document also provides guidance to the designers of new data modems that incorporate characteristics not yet standardized by specifying the technical characteristics of data modems currently in the inventory. The purpose of this guidance is to ensure attainment of minimum acceptable performance and maximum interoperability between existing and future data modems with specified transmission channel conditions. 1.2 Applicability. These standards are mandatory within the Department of Defense (DoD) in the design, development and engineering of new communications facilities for both narrowband and wideband long-haul and tactical systems. In some cases, reference is made to other documents that provide standards for specific applications. It is not intended that existing systems be immediately converted to comply with the requirements of these standards. New systems, and those undergoing major modification or rehabilitation, shall conform to these standards subject to current procurement regulations. This document is applicable to the design and development of new data modems with standard data signaling rates up to and including 19200 bits per second (bps) used in long-haul and tactical communications systems. This document is not applicable to high frequency (HF) data modems used in the Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) A. The HF data modem standards for TADIL A are published in MIL-STD-188-203-1. 1.3 Application guidance. Requirements in this document, if applied as intended, shall ensure interoperability and performance of data modems having the same or similar functions. The variety of data modems shall be limited to that which is essential to effectively support the missions of the military forces. It is not intended that the standards contained in this document inhibit advances in communications technology. Such advances are encouraged by including DOs which should be used if economically feasible. Additionally, standardizing parameter values but not the technology that may be used to meet these parameter values facilitates such advances. Mandatory equipment parameter values and requirements are specified by the use of the word “shall". Minimum performance requirements for the high frequency (HF) serial (single-tone) and parallel tone modem waveforms are specified in table XX and table B-XII, respectively. The specified values shown represent HF modem performance under ideal test conditions. To identify the minimum acceptable performance available to users, many factors, including operational test and evaluation must be considered. 1 MIL-STD-188-110B 2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS 2.1 Government documents. 2.1.1 Specifications and standards.
