The IDM is an aviation-based multi-channel terminal that exchanges Variable Message Format (VMF) and Air Force Applications Program Development (AFAPD) messages with other air and ground assets. The Thomas Production Company designed, built, and delivered eleven fully-qualified IDM V9.1, V9.2, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) IDM OFPs for the IDM-304, IDM-304B, and IDM-401. Using our own Ventus product for MIL-STD-188-220, the IDM provides ad-hoc Private Net capability as well as the data link to the Tactical Internet.
