Tactical Digital Information Link-Technical Advice and Lexicon for Enabling Simulation (TADIL-TALES) II: Link 11/11B
Abstract
Link 11/11B, otherwise known as TADIL A and TADIL B, has been used by U.S. Services and NATO nations for many years. However, the NATO Standard Agreement (STANAG) 5602 Standard Interface for Multiple Platform Link Evaluation (SIMPLE) does not fully describe the radio frequency network environment, which is required to model a more robust Link 11/11B operation. In addition, the IEEE 1278.1a standard does not provide a way to model the Link 11/11B RF network, only send the data as non-standard, user-defined Signal Protocol Data Unit (PDU). A SISO Link 11/11B Product Development Group (PDG) has been formed, and has started working on a DIS and HLA standard for Link 11/11B transport and network modeling. The Link 11/11B DIS and HLA standard will be developed using many of the Link 16 methods and procedures. This paper presents a Link 11/11B model approach, including implementation of various Link 11/11B TDL message types (e.g. Roll Call, Net Sync, Short Broadcast). In addition, the first draft of the DIS Signal and Transmitter PDUs, and HLA Link 11/11B BOM will be presented.
