Variable Message Format (VMF) Training Bootcamp

TAKE THIS COURSE
Who Should Attend:
• TDL operators
• TDL certification and testing professionals
• Engineers and technicians
• Analysts
• Other military and defense professionals

TAKE THIS COURSE
Variable Message Format (VMF) Training Bootcamp is a 4-day training intense training style
covering VMF message standard, VMF information convention and utilize cases in strategic radios.
Find out about essentials and progressed Tactical radios and Variable Message Format (VMF), a
message standard utilizing K-arrangement messages and about correspondence conventions that
are transmission media free.
Variable Message Format (VMF) training course gives members the essential information and
aptitudes to examine, determine, outline, execute, test, V&V and work frameworks and hubs
utilizing the VMF convention, VMF message standard and the VMF working situations.

TAKE THIS COURSE
The VMF convention is utilized to trade information between various distinctive strategic
frameworks giving rich and adaptable informing setting. Trade of operational and strategic
information, for example, positions, directions, maps, route information, mission information,
reconnaissance and knowledge between the associated frameworks and hubs over Tactical Data
Links (TDL, for example, Link-16.
VMF is appropriate for interchanges data transfer capacity compelled circumstances when Combat
Net Radio (CNR) systems are sent and utilized.
VMF and the Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol (JREAP) empower the trading of voice,
mission and strategic information and symbolism by associating with a system of different
member hubs, stages and units, both vertically and on a level plane.
