Description

The Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (LE TacCIS) programme aims to deliver tactical military communications and consists of multiple projects delivering elements of an intended single network. The LE TacCIS Innovation, Research Experimentation (IRE) activities aims to conduct programme level research and experimentation to de-risk solution development for a wider Land Domain Communication and Information System (LD CIS) perspective and consider what areas require development to ensure that individual projects remain able to deliver their elements of the Single Information Environment. The intent of the LE TacCIS-IRE activities includes technical de-risking of programme themes and addressing themes that cover multiple projects and provides a means of including innovative thought into LE TacCIS. This activity will support the Networks theme of the IRE activities and in particular Tactical Data Links (TDL). Tactical Information exchange has never needed to be more accurate, agile and timely to keep pace with persistent and high tempo changes across the battlespace. To achieve an efficient and effective tactical outcome in national and international environments, the automated and secure exchange of (near) real-time Situational Awareness, Battlespace Management and Command and Control functions can be fulfilled by Tactical Data Links. Several varieties of TDLs have been developed, each designed to support a difference domain and/or warfare demand. Building on the outputs of Phase 1 TDL study conducted in 2021 (DInfoCom/0125), deliver a more detailed technical study on the technicalities and practical implementation of a TDL network architecture within the Land Domain that can complement current and future LE TacCIS and Land ISTAR capabilities (and other multi domain links).
