STANAG 4285

STANAG 4285 single tone HF radio modem characteristics

Makers and integrators of military HF radios and the modems used for beyond-line-of-sight voice and data links.

STANAG 4285 is NATO's agreement on 1200/2400/3600 bits per second single tone HF radio modem characteristics. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from a public NATO publication, AEP-4845, that cites it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.

What it is

STANAG 4285 is the NATO agreement on the characteristics of 1200, 2400 and 3600 bits per second single tone modulators/demodulators for HF radio links. Edition 1 was promulgated on 16 February 1989, under NATO's DPC, DPC, CaP1, BLOS CaT committee. NATO marks it NATO UNCLASSIFIED, but has not released it publicly, so this page describes it from a public NATO publication that cites it.

Where it is cited

That publication is AEP-4845. In a table of technical standards it lists STANAG 4285 under Beyond Line-Of-Sight communications, in a group it calls HF Home, alongside STANAG 4539, MIL-STD-188-141C, STANAG 4538 and STANAG 5066.

In the passage that introduces HF Home, AEP-4845 describes a capability, over distances of up to thousands of kilometres, to "provide voice and small data services at any hierarchical level", with communications nodes ranging from special role DSS up to vehicular, rotary wing, aircraft and vessel platforms. It calls "A set of STANAGs and mil-standard specifications" within the HF Home description "the de-facto standard in HF transmission", and says the HF Home waveforms support voice and low data-rate services. Of STANAG 4285 itself it states: "HF Modem WF provides various Single Tone PSK Modulations up to 3.6kbps".

AEP-4845 describes the other members of the group in the same list: STANAG 4539 as an HF modem waveform with single tone PSK/QAM modulations up to 12.8 kbps, MIL-STD-188-141C and STANAG 4538 as 2G and 3G automatic link establishment, and STANAG 5066 as IP over HF, a data link layer capability for TCP/IP applications.

Documents, training, risks and evidence in one place, with the trail an auditor asks for.

How we help

A supplier bound by STANAG 4285 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.
