Abstract :
The STU-III program has been very successful in providing secure, high quality communications. The STU-III program, however, has so far been restricted to strategic networks. Tactical networks use devices such as SINCGARS, VINSON, and MINTERM (tactical terminal) which can not interoperate with the STU-III network. The paper discusses the modifications to MINTERM that provide it with a STU-III-compatible mode. It is shown that most of the changes can be made in software and that the modified MINTERM can interoperate with the STU-III network over a large variety of media
