High Frequency (HF) Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) Transition Plan.

The High Frequency HF Automatic Link Establishment ALE Transition Plan describes an evolutionary HF ALE technology transition process that points toward HF 2000, a modern, automated, HF communications system that manages resources to optimize data throughput and minimize operator intervention while maintaining reliable connectivity in even the noisiest environments. The plan also describes a prioritized ALE implementation plan that transitions the Navy to an inter-Battle Group or intra-Battle Group BGAmphibious Ready Group ARG ALE capability that meets JointAlliedNATO interoperability requirements. The HF ALE Transition Plan is based on the full, broadband HF 2000 architecture, which is compliant with MIL-STD-188-141A. The plan provides the warfighter an affordable ALE capability that considers all operational concerns.
