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)); and Network Tactical Common Data Link (NTCDL) Program which provides the ability to transmit/receive real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data simultaneously from multiple sources (surface, air, sub-surface), and exchange command and control information (voice, data, imagery, and Full Motion Video) across dissimilar Joint, Service, Coalition, and civil 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. The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) program consists of two products, MIDS Low Volume Terminal (LVT) and MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). MIDS-LVT provides Link 16 capability to platforms that were unable to employ Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) due to space and weight constraints. The MIDS-LVT effort is multinational (U.S., France, Germany, Italy, and Spain) with joint service participation (Navy, Army, and Air Force). The Department of Defense (DoD) established the program to design, develop, and deliver low volume, lightweight tactical information system terminals for U.S. and Allied fighter aircraft, bombers, helicopters, ships, and ground sites. MIDS-LVT provides interoperability with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) users, significantly increasing force effectiveness and minimizing hostile actions and friend-on-friend engagements. The terminal design is smaller, lighter, highly reliable, interoperable with JTIDS Class 2 terminal, compatible with all the participants' designated platforms, affordable, and re-configurable to individual user needs and budgets. MIDS JTRS, designed as a Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) and executed as an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the production MIDS-LVT configuration, completed qualification in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. It facilitated the Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) JTRS incremental approach for fielding advanced JTRS transformational networking capability and transformed the MIDS-LVT into a 4-channel, Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliant, Joint Tactical Radio. A form-fit-function replacement to MIDS-LVT, MIDS JTRS also adds three programmable 2 Megahertz (MHz) to 2 Gigahertz (GHz) channels capable of hosting the JTRS legacy and networking waveforms. In addition to the Link 16, Tactical Air Navigation, and voice functionality found in MIDS-LVT, MIDS JTRS has four channels and adds capabilities such as Link 16 Enhanced Throughput, four nets Concurrent Multi-Netting (CMN) with Concurrent Contention Receive (CCR) (CMN-4), Link 16 Frequency Re-mapping (FR), software programmability, and Cryptographic Modernization (CM). With CMN-4, MIDS JTRS also utilizes Tactical Targeting Network Technology for MIDS JTRS Naval Integrated Fire Control Counter Air and From the Air Advanced Tactical Data Links. These capabilities provide Joint Airborne Network-Tactical Edge functionality to run advanced mission applications in a cross-platform/cross-domain tactical network enterprise and the ability to simultaneously participate in four Link-16 Nets.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Schedule: ATDLS Integration: Link 16 Network Increment II Dynamic Network Management (DNM) (2126): The following milestones/events have slipped 2 quarters due to the difficulty in obtaining Developmental Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) assets: Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) DNM Developmental Test Readiness Review from FY2012Q4 to FY2013Q2; Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) on Ships (MOS) DNM Developmental Test Readiness Review from FY2012Q4 to FY2013Q2; MOS DNM Operational Test Readiness Review FY2012Q4 to FY2013Q3; MOS DNM Developmental Test from FY2013Q1 to FY2013Q3; and MOS DNM Operational Test from FY2013Q2 to FY2013Q4. The following milestones/events have slipped 1 quarter due to the difficulty in obtaining DT/OT assets: JTIDS DNM Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR) from FY2013Q1 to FY2013Q2 and JTIDS DNM Developmental Test from FY2013Q1 to FY2013Q2. DNM Full Operational Capability (FOC) has slipped 4 quarters from FY2014Q4 to FY2015Q4 due to slip in MOS DT and OT with resultant need to wait for CNO scheduled availability for installation. Link 16 Network Increment II Cryptographic Modernization (CM)/Frequency Remapping (FR) (2126): The following milestones/events have slipped 3 quarters due to delay in MIDS LVT Block Update 2 Schedule: MOS CM/FR Development (Ship) System Requirements Review (SRR)/Preliminary Design Review (PDR) from FY2013Q4 to FY2014Q3; and MOS CM/FR Development (Ship) Critical Design Review (CDR) from FY2014Q1 to FY2014Q4. New events added to reflect split between JTIDS CM/FR DT/OT and MOS CM/FR DT/OT due to MIDS LVT Block Update 2 schedule change: MOS CM/FR DTRR FY2016Q4; MOS CM/FR OTRR FY2017Q1; MOS CM/FR DT FY2017Q1; and MOS CM/FR OT FY2017Q2. The following milestones/events have slipped 1 quarter due to contract strategy revision specifying use of Multifunction Information Distribution System - Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS-JTRS) Link 16 Terminal for integration: MOS Modernization (MOS Mod) System Functional Review (SFR) from FY2013Q3 to FY2013Q4; MOS Mod Test Readiness Review (TRR) from FY2014Q2 to FY2014Q3; MOS Mod Production Readiness Review (PRR) from FY2015Q1 to FY2015Q2; MOS Mod DTRR from FY2015Q2 to FY2015Q3; MOS Mod OTRR from FY2015Q3 to FY2015Q4; MOS Mod DT from FY2015Q3 to FY2015Q4; MOS Mod OT from FY2015Q4 to FY2016Q1; and MOS Mod Fielding Decision Review (FDR) from FY2016Q2 to FY2016Q3. The following milestones/events have slipped 2 quarter due to remaining aligned with C2P Tech Refresh: JTIDS/MOS CM/FR Shipboard Integration SRR from FY2013Q2 to FY2013Q4; JTIDS/MOS CM/FR Shipboard Integration PDR from FY2013Q4 to FY2014Q2; and JTIDS/MOS CM/FR Shipboard Integration CDR from FY2014Q2 to FY2014Q4. Command and Control Processor (C2P) (2126): C2P Technology Refresh milestones/events: Added Inc 3 IPR (FY 2018Q3). The following events slipped: Tech Refresh contract award delays caused SRR, PDR and CDR to slip 2 quarters: SRR (FY 2013Q2 to FY 2013Q4), PDR (FY 2013Q4 to FY 2014Q2), and CDR (FY 2014Q2 to FY 2014Q4). Link-22 milestones have slipped 2 quarters due to contract award delays: SRR (FY 2014Q1 to FY 2014Q3), PDR (FY 2014Q3 to FY 2015Q1), Milestone B (FY 2014Q4 to FY 2015Q2), CDR (FY 2015Q1 to FY 2015Q3). Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT) Increment I (formerly Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI)) (2126) provides Tactical Data Links (TDL) Situational Awareness (SA). LMMT Increment II accelerates engineering efforts in FY 2014 leading to Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY 2016. LMMT Increment II provides TDL monitoring and management capabilities not included in Increment I. In accordance with the Acquisition Decision Memorandum dated 11 July 2012, the Joint Tactical Radio Systems Program of Records (JTRS PORs) transitioned to a Military Department-managed program. MIDS transitioned to the Navy under PE 0205604N beginning in FY14, but was formerly in PE 0604280N. Thus PU 3020 is new to PE 0205604N in this submission.
