Link 16 and MIDS Training Bootcamp

Link 16 and MIDS Training Bootcamp is a 5-day special program provides an overview  of the concepts of Tactical Data Links and Link 16 and  MIDS-LVT terminals, their functions and operations, and maintenance as a Link 16 Tactical Data Link Terminal.

TONEX offers a variety of TDL, Link 16 and MIDS training courses  to meet your applications of Link 16/MIDS, and TDL needs. Link 16 and MIDS training courses are fully customized to meet your specific technology, operation, mission or strategy MIDS Specifications and Documentation

Link 16 and MIDS Training Bootcamp introduces the attendees to the various Link 16 will learn Link 16 and MIDS-LVT terminals functions, processes, capabilities, planning, operations and management. Link 16 and MIDS Training Bootcamp is a vendor-neutral course but still covers many aspects of the commercial terminals offered by different vendors.

Vendor-neutral Link 16 and MIDS training, of course, can help your organization embrace the best practices in Link 16 and Link 16 MIDS terminals in a way that vendor-specific training probably can’t. Link 16 and MIDS Terminal vendor-neutral training can also help you build the expertise your organization needs to evaluate Link 16 MIDS terminals and solution providers and ultimately avoid vendor lock-in.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the attendees are be able to:

  • Describe principles behind Tactical Data Links (TDL) and Link 16
  • Describe what Link 16 is and how operates as a TDL
  • Describe the difference between Link 16 with other TDLs and related technologies and protocols such as Link 11, Link 22, SADIL, JREAP and VMF
  • List Link 16 protocol, architecture and functional characteristics
  • Describe Link 16  functions and applications
  • Describe basics of the Link 16 protocol, Link 16 network and Link 16 terminal
  • Define Link 16 terminal requirements architecture and design
  • Explain Link 16 network design and implementation using MIDS
