Training Success - Enhanced Tactical Data Link Knowledge and Skills via SyntheSys’ Multi-TDL Course

We march into 2023 and hit the ground running with our first Tactical Data Link (TDL) training course of the year.  The successful delivery of our Multi-TDL course was held at HQ Bonn, Germany from 9th- 18th January 2023.

Working with delegates from the Norwegian Battle Lab & Experimentation (NOBLE) organisation, along with personnel from various parts of the Norwegian Armed Forces, students participated in our eight-day Multi-TDL training, covering Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Link 16, Joint Range Extension Application Protocol (JREAP), Link 22 and Variable Message Format (VMF).  The aim of the course was to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the various TDLs and how their successful integration can enhance overall communication capabilities among military personnel, enabling more effective coordination and mission success.

MIDS Link 16 is a widely used standard for air-to-air communication, allowing for seamless communication between aircrafts.  Link 22 offers enhanced data transfer capabilities compared to Link 16, increasing the speed and efficiency of information exchange.  JREAP and VMF provide additional methods for exchanging information, enabling more effective coordination between units.

Our next stop is Den Helder, the Netherlands where we are again delivering our Data Link Manager/Interface Control Officer (DLM/ICO) course.  The Nederlandse Belgische Operationele School has graciously offered to host our course which so far will be attended by delegates representing various organisations throughout NATO to include members from Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Finland between 3rd – 21st April 2023.  Limited availability remains so if you are interested in attending, please contact our team by emailing: training@synthesys.co.uk
