Statement of SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS

VHF Command Network (VCN) Radios

SOR Section:

Kosovo Forces (KFOR) currently utilizes a Very High Frequency (VHF) Command Network (VCN) which is a secure radio communication network, designed to deliver secure, reliable and redundant voice and data communications, thereby provisioning near real-time awareness in support of KFOR Operations. This Network is managed and maintained by the North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO) with the TETRAPOL system. It is critically important for KFOR to continue providing Support to the NATO Forces mission. To ensure this communication system remains available and operationally sustainable throughout Kosovo any equipment upgrades or replacements must be compatible with the VCN.
