Network Tactical Common Data Link
Abstract
Network Tactical Common Data Link (NTCDL) provides the ability to transmit/receive real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data simultaneously from multiple sources (surface, airborne, sub-surface, man-portable), and exchange command and control information (voice, data, imagery, and Full Motion Video) across dissimilar joint, service, coalition, and civil networks. NTCDL provides warfighters with the capability to support multiple, simultaneous, networked operations with currently fielded Common Data Link (CDL)-equipped air platforms (e.g. MH-60R), in addition to next generation manned and unmanned platforms (e.g., P-8, Triton, MQ-25 (Stingray), small tactical unmanned aircraft systems (STUAS) and Fire Scout). NTCDL is an incremental capability (surface, airborne, sub-surface, man-portable) providing modular, scalable, multiple-link networked communications. NTCDL benefits the fleet by providing a horizon extension for line-of-sight sensor systems for use in time-critical strike missions and supports tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) via its ISR networking capability. NTCDL supports Resilient Command and Control (RC2) through its relay capability, and supports TCPED through its ISR networking capability. FY 2023 request is for NTCDL to continue development of Initial Capability to support high speed waveforms, high speed data rates (274 Mpbs), and increased range (240 nautical miles), while adding additional and simultaneous links via X/Ku band antennas; complete Delta CDR for Full Capability; and mature system maintenance, interoperability, training (Computer Based Training module), and system software.
