Link 16

Abstract

This major thrust was formally known as TAClink 16. As part of the F-22 Capability Pipeline and through Section 804 Middle Tier Acquisition authority, Link 16 consists of software and hardware development necessary to field Link 16 Transmit capability on the F-22. Link 16 Transmit will be accomplished via an OSA architecture integrated with F-22 legacy avionics. The OSA implementation will provide a pathway to more competitive and open future F-22 modernization. Includes mission support requirements for the F-22 Program Office to include, but not be limited to, travel, computer costs, and other miscellaneous contract support. The F-22 Link 16 program is conducted using a rapid acquisition construct leveraging commercial best practices such as Agile and Lean. This allows the F-22 Raptor program to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a scheduled cadence for capabilities as they mature.
