Variable Message Format
Appearance
Variable Message Format, abbreviated in "VMF" and documented in MIL-STD-6017, is a communications protocol used in communicating tactical military information. A message formatted using VMF can be sent via many communication methods. As it does not define this method, it is not a Tactical Data Link (TDL).
Restriction
The standard is designated distribution class C, meaning that it may only be distributed to federal employees and contractors. Contractors may obtain a copy from their government POC. [1]
Format
VMF enables the exchange of "K" Series messages.
