Military Message Handling Systems: The Requirements

Military Message Handling Systems (MMHS) provide a means of exchanging high grade electronic messages within a national military enclave, between military domains and within operational domains.

Although each implementation of an MMHS may be different, there is usually a common set of requirements that must be met. These requirements cover areas such as security, availability, external connections, ease of use and the automating of various procedures.

This White Paper is one of a set of architectural documents describing the framework of an MMHS. This paper looks at the typical requirements of an MMHS. It should be read in conjunction with the MMHS Reference Architecture white paper and the Nexor MMHS Architecture solution paper.
