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, Command and Control Processor (C2P) and Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT) (formerly Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI)). The Program Element develops network tactical common data link command and control Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data exchange capability across dissimilar networks. 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): The following milestones/events have slipped 3 quarters due to the delayed approval of critical acquisition documentation and TEMP staffing: DNM Milestone C/Full Development Decision Review (FDDR), Initial Operating Capability (IOC), Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) DNM Developmental Test (DT)/Operational Test (OT), JTIDS Developmental Test Readiness Review (DTRR), JTIDS Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR), and Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) On Ship (MOS) DT (only 1 quarter). Link 16 Network Increment II Cryptographic Modernization (CM)/Frequency Remapping (FR) (2126): JTIDS System Requirements Review (SRR) slipped (from FY 2011Q3 to FY 2011Q4) due to engineering requirements issues in the functional baseline. The following JTIDS/MOS CM/FR Integration (Ship) milestones/events have been advanced to maintain alignment with C2P Program development changes: SRR (from FY 2014Q2 to FY 2013Q2), Preliminary Design Review (PDR) (from FY 2014Q4 to FY2013Q4) and Critical Design Review (CDR) (FY 2015Q2 to FY 2014Q2). Command and Control Processor (C2P) (2126): C2P Technology Refresh milestones/events have slipped due to Department priorities: SRR (from FY 2012Q2 to FY 2013Q2), PDR (from FY 2012Q4 to FY 2013Q4), CDR (from FY 2013Q2 to FY 2014Q2), DTRR (from FY 2013Q4 to FY 2016Q2), OTRR (from FY 2014Q2 to FY 2016Q4), DT (from FY 2014Q1 to FY 2016Q3), OT (from FY 2014Q4 to FY 2016Q4), Production Readiness Review (PRR) (FY2017Q4). C2P Interoperability has been changed to a rapid software update effort and advanced in the schedule due to the Department's higher-priority objectives. C2P Interoperability In Progress Review (IPR), DT Combat System Certification, and Software Update added to the schedule. C2P Interoperability SRR, PDR, and CDR were removed from the schedule. C2P Link 22 development efforts were accelerated with the addition of funds. Link 22 SRR advanced (from FY 2016Q4 to FY 2014Q1), PDR (FY2014Q3), CDR, (FY2015Q1), and added Inc 3 Milestone C (2017Q4), Software Builds have been added to the schedule based on Department priorities, and to meet coalition forces communication requirements timelines. Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT) Increment I (formerly Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI)) (2126) is a FY 2013 new start and has been added to the schedule. The Network Tactical Common Data Link (3341) is a FY 2013 new start and has been added to the schedule.
