Functional Requirements of Korea Joint Tactical Digital Information Links
Abstract
At present, the ROK military incorporates the ATDL-1, Link-11/11B, Link-14, OS-OTG, and other U.S. systems for the ROKs master control reporting center and Korean naval tactical data system. There are also plans to acquire the Link-16 system in the future. Additionally, a number of indigenously developed technologies for building tactical digital information links are also in the works. TADIL must be revised and developed as we approach operations and applications in different ways developed by newly-introduced weapons systems. This is one of the reasons why, since the 1950s, the United States has continued to develop and enhance its TADIL program, which is still being upgraded as a result of new TADIL developments, continued efforts, and additional funds. In a situation where the ROK is dependent on foreign TADILs and are not able to acquire an indigenously developed TADIL system, a tremendous amount of the defense budget will have to be appropriated on the interface of weapon systems. Future expenditures will also continue to be siphoned into improving the efficiency of the existing TADIL system. Therefore, this chapter will outline the basic functional requirements and operational concepts for the development of Koreanized joint TADILs.
