Talk:Joint Electronics Type Designation System

MDS?
Could anyone that knows please explain how the JTEDS system relates to the MDS system? For example, the article below refers to a "tri-service" designation system (also referred to as MDS), but never mentions JTEDS, despite the fact that it appears to describe the JETDS system. It isn't clear whether MDS is an apt description of JTEDS items at all, or whether they are somehow hierarchically related underneath a a common Tri-Service designation system.

Similarly the similar system for weapons. Am I right that all these pages should be pointing to each other? David Bofinger (talk) 09:25, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Infobox
Would it be possible to create an infobox that describes the JETDS system, so that people stop expanding the description inline, as in AN/APG-66? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.33.92 (talk) 18:18, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

the JETDS office
consits of 3 people who are required to keep track of all the radio systems in nato, thay have all the radio records dating back to WWII, but refuse to access them largly becouse thay dont have the manpower, even though the records were all computerized. FOIA or no FOIA, these records will remain locked up forever unless there is the proverbial act of congress, this makes gathering historical statistics on radio production in certain time periods virtually impossible.

 * Not sure it would help, but you might try Data.Gov. It's in its initial stages, but I'm optimistic that this kind of data could be requested. 70.251.33.249 (talk) 15:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Revision History
I added a section with the dates of each published revision. I got the dates by reading each document Rev D-F, and Rev D states that it :

MIL-STD-196D

19 JANUARY 1985

SUPERSEDING

MIL-STD-196Cs

22 APRIL 1971

so that gave me the exact release date of Rev. C. I will keep looking for exact dates on Rev -, A and B. Not exactly sure how to cite these because the older versions required downloading pdf files from a website. Brian T. McDaniel ( tAlk )  19:19, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
