AUTODIN is being replaced by which system?

AUTODIN is being replaced by which system?

• A. AUTODIN
• B. DMS (Data Management System)
• C. GETS
• D. CIM

Answer: (B)

Modernization of military communications moved from the aging AUTODIN network to a more capable, unified system for messaging. AUTODIN handled digital message traffic for many years but had limitations in security, scalability, and interoperability across DoD components and partners. The Defense Messaging System provides standardized, secure, and reliable electronic messaging with better routing, encryption, and access control, covering a wider range of users and networks. That’s why AUTODIN is being replaced by the Defense Messaging System. GETS is a separate emergency-access service for the telephone network, not a full replacement for DoD messaging, and CIM refers to other information-management concepts not tied to replacing AUTODIN.
