STANAG 4586 communication enhancement module

Embodiments for a method for enhancing communication for operating along with a plurality of cooperating communication enhancement modules are disclosed. The communication enhancement module receives a STANAG 4586 message from an upstream module and determine whether a point-to-point wireless connection is available to the destination. If a point-to-point wireless connection is available, the module sends a message over the point-to-point wireless connection to the destination. If a point-to-point wireless connection is not available, the module identifies a multi-hop path to the destination via at least one other communication enhancement module, modifies the STANAG 4586 message to create a modified message having a format corresponding to the communication enhancement modules, and send the modified message to a next hop communication enhancement module on the multi-hop path for directing toward the destination.
