Who uses Link 16?

Link 16 is a standardized communications system used by U.S., NATO, and Coalition forces for transmitting and exchanging real time tactical data using links between allied military network participants, also known as TADIL J.

What replaced Link 16?

Link 22
Link 22 was developed to replace and overcome the known deficiencies of Link 11. Link 22 was also designed to complement and interoperate easily with Link 16. It was designed with automated and simple management to ensure that it is easier to manage than both Link 11 and Link 16.

Does Link 16 use satellite?

In 2019, the lab issued a $10 million contract to Viasat through the Space Enterprise Consortium to build a Link 16-capable satellite. By directly tying into the Link 16 tactical network from low Earth orbit, the satellite could provide a connection node with beyond-line-of-sight forces.

What does Link 16 provide?

What is Link 16? Link 16 is a standardized communications system for transmitting and exchanging real time tactical data using links between network participants, also known as TADIL J. It also uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to provide multiple, simultaneous communication paths through different nets.

What are the three requirements for Link 16 direct connectivity?

(1) TDMA. (2) Nodeless architecture. (3) Net time reference (NTR).

Is Link 16 a waveform?

Link-16 supports voice, free text, and variable format messages. It is a complex waveform that deploys TDMA (time division multiple access), CDMA, and FDMA (frequency division multiple access) schemes.
