Extensible Tactical Enterprise Network Design (xTEND)

Adaptive Tactical Transfer Service (ATTS)
The ATTS supplies or adapts communications protocols for the end-to-end path. The ATTS either adapts or provides application information transfer for the challenged tactical network. It provides user feedback on the status of the tactical network. This feedback is either integrated into the application or is provided by an applet loaded on the user terminal.

Standards
Where the TCP/IP protocols require adaptation or specialization, these changes will be published as open standards. The IPT will explore multiple publishing avenues including NATO STANAGs and RFCs. The IPT will also attack current weaknesses such as difficulty of use, interoperability issues, efficient use of network resources and high total life cost
