Systems engineering is an inter-disciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how to design, manage and optimize complex engineering systems over their life cycles. Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods and risk management tools in such projects.
Link 16 is an essential tactical data link (TDL) used by U.S., NATO and Coalition forces to make wise decisions inside a battlespace. It does this by delivering crucial exchange of situational awareness data among Link 16 forces.
Link 16 systems engineering has become vital as the complexity of Department of Defense (DoD) systems and resultant challenges have increased.
Systems engineers especially serve key roles in battlefield communications. The Link 16 systems engineer has a wide range of responsibilities including:
- Preparing operational and tactical communications information systems
- Engineering the Link 16 tactical data link (TDL)
- Maintaining TDL equipment
These responsibilities are substantial in order to ensure that front line troops and their commanders can communicate on deployment worldwide.
And like non-military systems engineers, yet another responsibility involves risk management skills. System engineers work to eliminate waste of time, money, man-hours, materials, machine time, energy and other resources. They figure out how to do things better, optimize engineering processes and systems that improve quality and productivity.
Link 16 systems engineer job have various titles such as:
- Combat System Simulation Jr. Data Link Analyst
- Operations Analyst/Systems Engineer/Advanced Programs
- Systems Engineer – Communications
- Combat System Simulation Senior Data Link Analyst
