Network Tactical Common Data Link
Abstract
Network Tactical Common Data Link (NTCDL) provides the ability to transmit/receive Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data in real-time, and exchange command and control information (voice, data, and video) across dissimilar Joint, Service, Coalition, and civil networks. NTCDL provides warfighters with the capability to support multiple, simultaneous, networked operations with currently fielded CDL-equipped platforms (e.g. F/A-18, P-3, and MH-60R), in addition to next generation manned and unmanned platforms (e.g., P-8, Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS), and Fire Scout). NTCDL is a tiered capability (air, surface, sub-surface, portable) providing a modular, scalable, multiple-link networked communications. NTCDL benefits the fleet by providing horizon extension for line-of-sight sensor systems for use in time critical strike missions. FY13 funding provides the initial program funding. Funds will be utilized to establish a procurement contract to design an NTCDL system appropriate to support Aircraft Carrier (CVN) CDL operations. The threshold requirement is for five (5) simultaneous off-ship CDL missions, with limited topside footprint as a design priority.
