HFGCS (High Frequency Global Communications System) is a highly-automated, HF communication system and links US Air Force C2 (command and control) functions with globally-deployed strategic & tactical airborne platforms. This paper describes the basic situation of HFGCS, and analyzes the IP routing, HF station control signaling and communication data IP bearing, HF wireless IP protocol, end-to-end secure interoperability protocol and other technical characteristics of HFGCS, amd finally it gives the enlightenment for high-frequency communication network development in China, proposes some suggestions in strengthening the research of unified scheduling of HF station transceiver station resource, HF communication wireless IP protocol, HF communication information distribution, HF end-to-end secure communication interoperability technology, and each level should use IP technology, maintain the sustainability of HF communication development.
