Analysis of Tactical Data Links used by the Department of Defense

Abstract

The objective of the study was to review and analyze DOD data link programs to define a minimum set of candidate standard data links which satisfy most current and future requirements, identify possible duplicative programs and assess the economic impact of data link standardization. In addition, the applicability of form-fit-function specifications for procurement of data links was investigated. The study developed six data link families that could be used as the basis to standardize future data link developments. The study also developed near term and far term data link standardization approaches. Conclusions and recommendations were formulated concerning the approaches required to reduce data link proliferation and promote data link standardization.
