- Asynchronous Transfer Mode [r]: A technology for the transfer of fixed-length "cells" of digital information through specialized cell switches built on top of optical transmission networks; increasingly obsolescent [e]
- Defense Information Systems Network [r]: The shared Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) terrestrial digital communications system for the U.S. military, onto which are layered routed networks such as NIPRNET, SIPRNET and JWICS [e]
- Defense Intelligence Agency [r]: One of the members of the United States intelligence community, charged with providing national-level analysis specifically relevant for military needs, and being the focal point for measurement and signature intelligence [e]
- FASTLANE [r]: A family of U.S. National Security Agency approved encryption devices for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) transmission systems [e]
- Global Information Grid [r]: The overall computing and communications architecture and systems interconnecting the U.S. Department of Defense military and civilian organizations, other government agencies, and allied nations; information is at the strategic/theater and operational, not tactical levels [e]
- Internet Protocol [r]: A protocol that is used to transmit data across an Internet Protocol Suite-compatible network, "hop-by-hop" from the source host, through intermediate routers, to the destination host [e]
- Internet [r]: International "network of networks" that connects computers together through the Internet Protocol Suite and supports applications like Email and the World Wide Web. [e]
- JWICS [r]: A military and intelligence communications system approved for classified information designated collateral TOP SECRET, as well as any information in a compartmented control system such as Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or Special Access Program (SAP) [e]
- Joint Chiefs of Staff [r]: The staff committee of the most senior members of the U.S. military services, charged with policy advice, doctrinal development, and preparedness rather than operational control of forces [e]
- Joint Network Node [r]: A transportable communications routing and circuit-switching node, designed as a transition into the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical [e]
- Local area network [r]: A range of techniques for interconnecting multiple computers, over physical media such as wire or over wireless radio, within a limited geographic area, typically multiples of 100 meters. [e]
- SIPRNET [r]: The shared United States Department of Defense network that carries the bulk of classified information, limited to a security classification of SECRET. [e]
- TSEC- [r]: The alphanumeric designation system for communications security (COMSEC) equipment under the control of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) [e]
- Virtual private network [r]: A communications system that interconnects one or more customer-defined set of sites with routed, data link, or physical connectivity, mapped through an underlying customer-owned or provider-provisioned backbone. It may provided connectivity alone, or connectivity with guarantees of security and quality of service. [e]
- Warfighter Information Network–Tactical [r]: Deployed in several increments of increasing capability, this is the future tactical communications system for the U.S. Army, which will be easier to deploy, have far more bandwidth, and eventually will be a continuously mobile self-organizing network compatible with Future Combat Systems. Through the Army Battle Command System, it interfaces to the Global Information Grid. [e]
