Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) is proprietary Autodin replacement. It is currently undergoing testing for use in the United States Air Force and other federal agencies as an alternative for the Defense Message System (DMS). The benefits of using AMHS over older versions of DMS is that it replaces the Fortezza cards that contained X.509 certificates for each recipient. AMHS instead utilizes Virtual Fortezza Cards, or VFCs, stored on a Type 2 Cryptographic Support Server board, or T2CSS. The T2CSS is located within the actual AMHS server, reducing the inconvenience placed upon the user to keep track of a Fortezza card.

AMHS is now being superseded by the latest Microsoft developments within the CMS solution offered by Lockheed Martin. CMS is built around an Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) clients and also offers remote Fortezza processing. It is generally recognised as the future of Domain Fortezza Solutions, especially with its integration with Chat and collaboration products.
