JREAP
The Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol enables tactical data messages to be transmitted over long-distance networks, e.g. satellite links, thereby extending the range of Tactical Data Links.
JREAP is documented in U.S. Military Standard 3011 and NATO Standardization Agreement 5518, "Interoperability Standard for the Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol."Purpose
JREAP was developed due to the need to communicate data over long distances without degradation to the message format or content. JREAP takes the message from the format it was originally formatted in and changes the protocol so that the message can be transmitted over Beyond Line-of Sight media.
JREAP is the protocol and message structure for the transmission and reception of pre-formatted messages over communications media other than those for which these messages were designed.
JREAP provides a foundation for Joint Range Extension of Link 16 and other tactical data links to overcome the line-of-sight limitations of radio terminals such as the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System and Multifunctional Information Distribution System, and extends coverage of these data links through the use of long-haul media.Versions
