Standards

Obligation: CONDITIONAL, Lifecycle: CURRENT

VMF may only be used when messages are converted to FFI before the publication on the FFT network, using the exchange mechanism described in the MIL-STD-6017B. NISP Standard - VMF - "Variable Message Format (VMF)"

Obligation: MANDATORY, Lifecycle: CURRENT

Guidance

Messages exchanged according to the exchange mechanisms described in ADatP-36(A) shall comply with the Message Text Format (FFI MTF) schema incorporated in APP-11(D)(1).

IP1 is the preferred protocol for Spiral 3.

Caveat where needed the other ADatP-36(A) protocols (IP2 an SIP3) may be used if the situation requires this, and this MUST be determined on instantiation.

Caveat VMF uses the concept of the Unit Reference Number (URN) as unique identifier on the tracked unit and this is not in line with the FFI unique identifier. VMF URN can be used as FFI unique identifier but the viceversa is not true, so specific rules shall be defined for the unique identifier allignments.
