Tactical Data Links, Air Traffic Management, and Software Programmable Radios

Abstract

Background on Link 16, global air traffic management (GATM), and the joint tactical radio system (JTRS) is provided. Information addressing the ability of: 1) Link 16 to handle evolving civil aviation data link (CADL) waveforms; 2) a single data link to satisfy Air Force GATM requirements; and 3) JTRS to incorporate data links of interest to aviation is offered. Relationships with layered communication architectures, the Global Grid, and software programmable radios (SPRs) are also discussed.
