Entity State PDU
Munitions are further identified in the Detonation PDU in terms of their fuse and warhead. The

4.2.1.3 Life Form
The Life-Form kind refers to dismounted infantry, scouts, SEALS, or other humans, as well as
animals like whales and shrimp. Life forms are treated similarly to platforms since they can move
and (some) can fire munitions. Fields used to further define life forms are detailed in the
paragraphs that follow.

The Country field is a 16-bit enumeration defining a life form's country of origin. The defined
values for this field are found in 4.2.2.
4.2.1.3.3 Specific Life-Form definition
The remaining fields of the Entity-Type record further define all life forms. The Subcategory field
specifying the number of individuals allows representation of one or more life forms using one PDU.
4.2.1.4 Environmental
The Environmental kind refers to entities in the usual physical-object sense, e.g. clouds and ice
bergs, as well as inherent characteristics of a particular environment, such as sea state or
transmissivity profile. Fields used to further describe environmental entities are detailed in the
paragraphs that follow.
4.2.1.4.1 Domain
The Domain field is an 8-bit enumeration. The defined values for Environmental domain are
identical to a platform's. See 4.2.1.1.1.
4.2.1.4.2 Country
The Country field is unused.
4.2.1.4.3 Specific Environmental definition
The remaining fields of the Entity-Type record further define all environmentals. The Subcategory
field defines the size of the environmental entity.
