Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS)

The Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS) is a standardized method used by the U.S. military and government to identify and classify electronic equipment. It assigns a structured code to each device, detailing its type, purpose, technical features, and capabilities. This system helps ensure clear communication, accurate documentation, and efficient logistics across military branches by providing consistent, descriptive identifiers for complex electronic systems, such as radars, communication gear, or navigational tools.
