TDL Technology Magazine Issue 14 Out Now

 

In this latest Issue, we reflect on the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future, as we pay tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in our feature which looks at the TDL technology, innovations, and usage over the last 70 years.

As this vital technology warps to support ever-more demanding operational, tactical, and strategic goals, we are seeing shifts towards simulation, sustainability, and security.  And so, as the industry upgrades, integrates and reinvents, the interoperability issues become greater.  This latest issue puts this interoperability testing challenge under the spotlight.

Training Success, Portuguese Air Force DLMC – Data Link Manager / Interface Control Officer Course

 

The Tactical Data Link (TDL) travel and course delivery continues, and we are happy to announce the successful completion of our Data Link Manager / Interface Control Officer (DLM/ICO) course, held at the Portuguese Air Force Base, Data Link Management Cell in Lisbon, Portugal from 3-21 October.  

As the DLM/ICO is responsible for the entire TDL interface to include both planning and execution functions, it is critical the training scope is vast and comprehensive.  Over the course of three weeks military members across various services representing Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Czech Republic, Sweden, and Finland were provided with an in depth understanding of how to plan, build, interact and subsequently manage Multi TDL architectures. Having such a diverse group of students made for a rewarding learning experience which enabled attendees to learn and work together while also forming relationships that will no doubt prove valuable in the operational world.

The course focused on providing students with a series of challenging learning outcomes using practical exercises, simulation, and real-world operational software.  This interactive process promotes a cooperative learning environment, allowing each student to progress with confidence and develop a thorough understanding of each TDL.  Through the development of this knowledge TDL planners and operators are better equipped to identify and execute commander’s information exchange requirements, both in training and operational environments.

This DLM/ICO course will be our final one in what has been a very busy but successful 2022 training calendar.  We look forward to taking a small break and then hitting the ground running in 2023 with our next scheduled DLM/ICO course taking place in early February.  The location is still to be determined, if you are interested in hosting or attending, please do not hesitate to contact us at the links below.

More Free Training - Join us on Tuesday 29th November for our Free Online Joint Range Extension Application Protocol Training.

 

The Tactical Data Links (TDL) community has spoken!  After the great success of the last course, we asked you which application of TDL training you wanted next, and the outright winner was Joint Range Extension Application Protocol (JREAP).

JREAP is the protocol and message structure for the transmission and reception of pre-formatted messages over communications media other than those for which the message was designed.  Many of the messages provided for Link 16 are capable of being exchanged using JREAP, although it is not appropriate for all Link 16 messages to be exchanged in this way.

For more information and to register your attendance, please visit: https://bit.ly/3yfYzUY

If you missed our last free ‘Introduction to Tactical Data Links’ training session, you may be pleased to know that the recording can be accessed via the Defence Community Portal.  The sign-up process is free and simple and gives you access to our full inventory of TDL-related training recordings, downloads, resources and tools.  For more information visit: https://lnkd.in/gAvKy-s

We look forward to seeing you there!
