KU-Band Common Data Link

Abstract

Develops a multi-mission, shipboard, high data rate Ku-Band data link between the embarked air assets and the Carrier Combat System, enabling the exchange of sensor, tactical and imagery data with the MH-60R Multi Mission Helicopter. It also provides capability for on-the-deck mission synchronization with MH-60R. Eventually, the Ku-Band data link will support other Ku-Band equipped aircraft, including the P-8 and Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS). This effort will provide the Carrier with the capability to support multiple simultaneous aircraft on different missions, also completing the Kill Chain by linking sensor platform to sensor controllers and the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Surface Warfare (SUW) Commanders. This development effort will support the initial deployments of the Ku-Band equipped MH-60R Air Wing for new construction Carriers, Refueling Complex Overhauls (RCOH) Carriers, and NIMITZ Class back-fits.
