Roland Kemp to Attend the International Data Link Symposium (IDLS) 2019 in Edinburgh 28th – 31st October

As IDLS 2019 draws closer, we would like to announce that Roland Kemp will be representing SyntheSys at the event.  Roland is a highly experienced Tactical Data Link (TDL) and former Dutch Patriot operator.  Roland served for 37 years in the Dutch Armed Forces, during which time he was responsible for training crews on the Patriot Information Coordination Centre (ICC) at the Group Operations Centre.  Roland looks forward to attending an array of interesting briefs in addition to meeting with members of the TDL community.  

If you would like to arrange a time to meet with Roland during the event to discuss TDL training, testing or interoperability, please contact info@synthesys.co.uk

SyntheSys Flying the Flag at IDLS 2015

SyntheSys will be out in force at the International Data Links Symposium (IDLS) in Ottawa, Canada from 3 to 6 November

Come to our stand (117) for further information on the most up to date training and services the industry has to offer.

As TDL Interoperability Test specialists, our stand has an exclusive test capability in the form of a live Test Lab.  This highly effective demonstration shows how interoperability testing integrates with other processes, creating a key advantage.

Training is a major part of our business and the day before the symposium starts, on November 3, expert trainer Paul ‘Ski’ Czajkowski is holding a full training day on Multi TDL Planning, which will be enhanced using various simulation tools.  Ski is also presenting throughout the symposium and he will be on the SyntheSys stand demonstrating the types of training solutions we offer.

You can also expect to see a variety of different demonstrations of our Interoperability Assurance toolset - SPIRIT - during the Symposium.

Would you like to win a Kindle Fire HD6?  We have two up for grabs in a competition on our stand called 'Crack the Code'.  Simply exchange your business card for a CVLL code to enter the draw.

Great to see you at IDLS!

As Berlin marks the 25^th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall on 9^th November 1989, we reflect on our attendance at the International Data Link Symposium (IDLS) 2014.

In keeping with our overall business objective to create an integrated Tactical Data Link (TDL) Community, we were pleased to see so many delegates participate in our ‘Follow the Link’ activity. Congratulations to Mads Pedersen and Andreas Saatze who were each the lucky winners of a Kindle Fire HD6.

Our training day for this year’s show took an interactive approach and was based primarily on our Data Link Manager/Interface Control Officer (DLM/ICO) training course.  The DLM/ICO course is designed to inform individuals with little or no knowledge of TDLs and associated responsibilities to a stage where they can plan, design and manage Data Link Networks.  Many thanks to those who attended.

The Data Link Training Suite (DLTS) was in full force at the event and we are eagerly anticipating further discussions about this powerful application and how it will shape the future of TDL Training.

Our educational contribution did not end there.  Our Advanced Link 16 presentation, as part of the educational stream, gave delegates an understanding about Joint Tactical Information Distribution System/Multifunctional Information Distribution System (JTIDS/MIDS) Link 16.  The presentation focused on time slot structure and how to calculate a specific Network Participation Group (NPG) capacity within Network Designs which stimulated some excellent discussion points.

For delegates particularly interested in Variable Message Format (VMF), we delivered a presentation on Day 2 giving an introduction to this subject.  

You can access the presentation material relevant to the workshops and courses you attended on the IDLS website.  

We extend special thanks to Diginext with whom we partnered to deliver our Open Test Lab.  The Test Lab enabled us to establish a common interface in order to demonstrate requirements engineering, development engineering, testing, training, analysis and results recording.  These functions are then able to support individual programmes and the system-of-systems for interoperability through-life.

Here at SyntheSys, we look forward to the annual IDL Symposium and this year’s event did not disappoint.  It was a great opportunity to talk to our customers and friends, old and new and as ever, we had an enjoyable time in Berlin.

We are delighted to announce that Tony Castle, SyntheSys’ Training Manager,  has been welcomed onto the Technical Committee of the International Data Link Society (IDLSoc) with immediate effect.

The IDLSoc represents the international data link population and aims to fuse a global network of professionals into one, unified professional community.  The society has been set up to represent the data links community through individual, government and corporate memberships and provides a platform for discussion and exchange of technological and professional ideas and interests.

Tony’s long standing career in the Tactical Data Link community makes him well placed to offer invaluable insight to the technical committee and we look forward to making a positive contribution in the very near future.

Tony Castle commented that he is ''very pleased to be joining the IDLS Technical Committee and look forward to the challenge of working alongside other TDL specialists to provide the best possible service to IDLS and the Data Link community.''
