BOWMAN HF IP network solution

The BOWMAN HF networking solution is based on easing the integration of the RF-5800H radio into the BOWMAN network using a concept called bridging. This has greatly simplified the IP management problem associated with the HF subsystem. The HF Networking scheme utilizes the STANAG 4538 capabilities in association with performance enhancing technologies such as concatenation and compression to achieve the required system throughputs. The HCMAC protocol has been developed to provide roughly twice the capacity achievable using STANAG 4538 FLSU (for equal latency) in ground wave and NVIS HF scenarios where the reduced robustness of the HCMAC signaling can be tolerated.
