We
are pleased to announce that personnel from the Norwegian TDL Squadron, Swedish
and Finnish JDLOC and Royal Netherlands Air Force have successfully completed
our three week DLM/ICO Training Course.
The
course was hosted by the Norwegian TDL Squadron at Jørstadmoen camp in the
picturesque area of Lillehammer. Attendees
were provided with in depth instruction on Link 1, 11, 16, 22, Variable Message
Format and Joint Range Extension Application Protocols. Using their acquired knowledge and working in
small groups, they then continued with a series of challenging Multi TDL
Planning exercises, where they had to define progressively more complex TDL architectures
and subsequently coordinate the correct allocation of TDL parameters. Multi National operations and exercises are increasingly
demanding more from DLM/ICO and Data Link Management Cell personnel. Accordingly, our practical modules are
designed to thoroughly test, educate and ultimately develop these personnel for
the challenges that lie ahead.
Students
then briefed their plan before testing and ultimately validating their
architecture through the use of simulation and real world operational software.
This interactive learning environment
enabled all students to fully visualise their operational plan, identifying
elements such as the potential for data looping or the misallocation of
critical TDL duties and their impact. This allowed each individual to manage their
architecture as a DLM/ICO would, helping to build confidence, and to apply
their newly gained skills and theory in an enjoyable and cooperative learning atmosphere.
SyntheSys
would like to thank all those who attended, especially the Norwegian TDL
Squadron for hosting this event. Our
next course will be held at CAOC Uedem in June, once again continuing to
attract more interest than there are places available.
