Link 16 Training for Managers

Link 16 Training for Managers Course Description

Link-16 training for managers is designed to help managers understand the Link-16, how it works, tools, and techniques associated with it.

Tactical Data Links (TDL) delivers fundamental communications channels among all the forces in operation to give support interoperability. The implementation of strict, well-known guidelines makes sure that tactical data is communicated safely and consistently to all force components and hence is a crucial enabler to Battlespace Management (BM) and Shared Situational Awareness (SSA) in functions.

However, the advantages of Link 16 cannot be understood and operated without using complicated tools, highly educated staff, and great association. Link-16 training for managers helps the managers of various units to understand and seek for the functional actions that are crucial to developing Link 16.

TONEX Link 16 training for managers is a combination of theoretical and practical material. The practical module includes labs, individual/group activities, and hands-on workshops. The case studies and projects are chosen from the real-world cases and scenarios.

TONEX Link 16 Case Study Sample: MIDS Program

The MIDS program, which is presently in the last stages of engineering and manufacturing development (EMD), is being the interest of the DoD, as showed by Secretary of Defense guidance to the U.S. Air Force to get involved in the project. The global contributors consider it as an effective collaborative project that will deliver a near-term resolution to a long-term demand for interoperable information communications for fighters. While the United Kingdom is not involved in the MIDS project, it is obtaining alternative Link 16 terminal known as SHAR (for Sea Harrier) to implement on some of its fighters. Therefore, six main NATO nations will shortly have interoperable, encoded, jam-resilient communications on their recent fighters. Given the value of the program for improving interoperability with chosen NATO allies, MIDS was considered as a decent nominee for this case study.
