In [[telecommunications]], a '''combat-net radio''' (CNR) is a [[radio]] operating in a [[telecommunications network|network]] that (a) provides a [[duplex (telecommunications)|half-duplex]] [[Telecommunication circuit|circuit]] and (b) uses either a single [[radio frequency]] or a discrete [[Set (mathematics)|set]] of radio frequencies when in a [[frequency hopping]] [[Transverse mode|mode]].

CNRs are primarily used for [[push-to-talk]]-operated radio nets for [[Command and Control (Military)|command and control]] of [[combat]], combat support, and [[combat service support]] operations among [[military]] ground, sea, and air forces.

In the United States, two military standards govern the use of combat net radios and the host applications that communicate over the network: [[MIL-STD]]-188-220 and MIL-STD-2045-47001. In addition to IETF RFCs governing UDP, TCP, and IPv4/IPv6, all seven layers of the [[OSI model|OSI communications architecture]] are addressed. MIL-STD-2045-47001 covers layer 7 ([[Application Layer|application]]), while MIL-STD-188-220 covers layers 1 through 3 ([[Physical layer|physical]], [[Data link layer|data link]], and [[Network layer|network]]).
