Military Data Link Upgrade Guide

Tactical data link processors are increasingly important for military command and control as data volumes rise. Link 22 is the newest tactical data link, replacing Link 11, and enables beyond line-of-sight communication. While originally planned in the late 1980s, Link 22 is only now being rolled out in 2018. Link 22 requires new data link processors and network controllers to work, though some existing radios can still function. Elsis PRO offers a lightweight customized Link 22 data link processor software plugin for command and control systems.
