Tactical Data Link Crash Course, Special TDL Training Delivered for Groups

Tactical Data Link Crash Course is a 4-day intensive program, bootcamp style training covering Tactical data link, real-time situational awareness and communications with modern technologies.

Learn how to exchange real-time situational awareness information, intelligence and voice communications across the battlespace using TDL terminals in aircraft, ships, and ground platforms with secure, jam-resistant communication and tactical data links. Using Tactical Terminal using Link 16, JREAP, Link 11/22, TTNT, VMF, SADL, MADL, CDL, and TCDL to dismounted warfighters, ground vehicles, landing craft, UAVs, helicopters, and other disadvantaged platforms.

Learn how turnkey Tactical Data Links systems support command and control, surveillance, intelligence, weapon status, and situational awareness communications.
