The MIDS On Ship system offers full interoperability with all Link 16 systems, and adds capability for 1000 watts of RF output power. The Core MOS system consists of three main LRUs: the MIDS terminal, the Remote Power Supply (RPS), and the High Power Amplifier Group (HPAG).

The MIDS terminal operates in the 969 to 1206 MHz band and provides the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) signal transmission and reception. Since Link 16 shares operation with other systems in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) frequency band, the system is equipped with extensive interference protection features which effectively monitor radio frequency emission and mitigate interference to those systems in the event of out of specification Link 16 equipment condition.
