Tactical Data Links

Abstract

This Program Element develops and improves the Navy's Tactical Data Link (TDL) systems. It includes the Advanced Tactical Data Link Systems (ATDLS) Integration Programs, specifically Link 16 Network and Command and Control Processor (C2P) . The Program Element also develops and tests tactical data link capability to distribute other data types to new and existing platforms. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for upgrade of existing operational systems.

• Change Summary Explanation: Schedule: ATDLS Integration: Link 16 Network Increment II Dynamic Network Management (DNM) (2126): DNM Milestone C/Full Development Decision Review (FDDR) (from Fiscal Year (FY) 2011Q3 to FY 2012Q2), Initial Operating Capability (IOC) (from FY 2011Q3 to FY 2012Q2), Full Operating Capability (FOC) (from FY 2014Q1 to FY 2014Q4), Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) Developmental Test Readiness Review (DTRR) (from FY 2010Q4 to FY 2011Q3)/Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR) (from FY 2011Q1 to FY 2011Q4), Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) On Ship (MOS) DTRR (from FY 2011Q4 to FY 2012Q3)/OTRR (from FY 2012Q1 to FY 2012Q4), JTIDS Developmental Test (DT) (from FY 2011Q1 to FY 2011Q4)/Operational Test (OT) (from FY 2011Q2 to FY 2012Q1), and MOS DT (from FY 2011Q4 to FY 2012Q3)/ Follow On Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) (from FY 2012Q2 to FY 2013Q1) slipped due to delays in the processing and approval of the Capabilities Production Document (CPD). Link 16 Network Increment II Cryptographic Modernization (CM)/Frequency Remapping (FR) (2126): MOS CM/FR Development (Ship) System Requirements Review (SRR) (from FY 2012Q1 to FY 2013Q3), Preliminary Design Review (PDR) (from FY 2012Q4 to FY 2013Q3), and Critical Design Review (CDR) (from FY 2013Q2 to FY 2013Q4) moved to match the Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) new MIDS production schedule. JTIDS CM/FR Development CDR (from FY 2013Q1 to FY 2013Q2), JTIDS/MOS CM/FR Integration (Ship) SRR (from FY 2013Q1 to FY 2014Q2), PDR (from FY 2013Q3 to FY 2014Q4), CDR (from FY 2014Q1 to FY 2015Q2) moved to align with the Command and Control Processor (C2P) post Tech Refresh schedule, JTIDS CM/FR Integration (Air) SRR (from FY 2013Q1 to FY 2015Q1), PDR (from FY 2013Q3 to FY 2015Q3), CDR (from FY 2014Q1 to FY 2016Q1) and CM/FR (Ship) DT (from FY 2015Q3 to FY 2015Q4) slipped due to Department re-prioritizing funds for higher-priority objectives. JTIDS CM/FR Test Readiness Review (TRR), CM/FR (Ship) DTRR, CM/FR (Ship) OTRR, CM/FR (Ship) OT have been added to the schedule. Command and Control Processor (C2P) (2126): C2P Technology Refresh, C2P Interoperability and C2P Link 22 have been added to the schedule. The Radar Systems Engineering project is a FY12 new start that will develop and test the capability to distribute real-time radar track data over tactical data links.
