Joint Range Extension Application Protocol/ JREAP

Definition

JREAP (MIL-STD-3011) defines how to encapsulate Link 16 J-messages over non-Link-16 transports such as IP networks, UHF SATCOM, or HF, extending the tactical air picture beyond line of sight. JREAP-C (IP) is the most commonly fielded variant and is a core building block for distributing CCA tracks into CAOC and joint operations centers.
