TTNT Engineering, Design and Testing Training
TTNT Engineering, Design and Testing Training is a 2-day practical training course covering engineering and design, testing and operations of Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) Tactical Data Link (TDL).
It will provide knowledge to assist operators, users, and engineers in developing, producing, operating, and sustaining TTNT TDL system and capabilities on multiple platforms and tactical assets. TTNT engineering and testing is an integral part of the Systems Engineering Process (SEP) which identifies levels of performance and assists the TTNT developer in correcting deficiencies.
TTNT Design, Engineering and Testing Training enables the TTNT engineering, design, testing and certification and identifies the limitations (technical or operational), Critical Operational Issues (COI) of the TTNT system under testing so that they can be resolved prior to operation and deployment.
For over 30 years TONEX has supported land, air and maritime military operations, defense organizations and government agencies around the world to deliver situational awareness consulting and training and enhanced operating effectiveness of mission critical TDL systems. Our team of skilled instructors, consultants and TDL experts assist participants on all aspects of the TDL engineering, design and testing in addition to TTNT lifecycle processes.
