Military use of HF has been superceded by satellite comms which is less vulnerable to solar activity. Unfortunately, satellites are highly vulnerable to anti-satellite warfare as this article explains. So now the European military - and presumably others too - are getting back into HF. Good article, very interesting especially in how the military is using weak signal technology, high data rates and Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) to get the most out of HF despite possibly adverse propagation conditions.
