Sorry to say this pals but the thread ended into M1A2 discussion fftopic
No - someone asked a question for clarification and it more than likely would of been kept at that considering who it came from, but I will agree that further questions inregards to M1A2 SEP should be taken to that thread. SorrySorry to say this pals but the thread ended into M1A2 discussion fftopic
As stated by gf0012-aust the capability is most certainly there between all different M1 models, most likely at a minimum command tanks and plt leaders would have this capability, as far as exact specifics due to the potential sensitive information matter I can go no further.Nevertheless my question reamins wether an M1A1AIM can get data from Link-16 sources via the IVIS network.
If I get it right there are big problems when for example a M1A1AIMv1, an AIMv2, an A2 or an A2SEP want to talk to each other.
These problems jsut make me wonder if it realy is that easy to get a connection between sea and air units using Link-16 and ground units using IVIS?
and not to be too unkind - the problems that might exist between types for the US is "non-existent" for australia.No problem, security first.
The problems between different Abrams just confused me, especially when one wants to integrate data from a different network.
Is there a program for an airborne ground surveillance radar(Like J-STARS) in RAAF?It is essential, if you want to integrate all these assets (F-18,Tgers,MBTs)into a land warfare Link-16 network.
Gripen:s can also transmit raw sensor feeds over the data-link network among themselves and to ground stations (four simultaneous sending, infinite number of recievers).In fact the L-16 bandwidth is barely over 50Kbps,but it is enough for the data transmission.On the other hand raw information (in digital form e.g. sensor plots) need less transmission speed depending on the protocol used.The Swedish AEW platform (Erieye) transmits raw sensors feeds to the ground stations using a simple medium speed protocol.
It's more than a comms connect for NATO, I can think of 3 other nations who are non NATO and use it.Link 16 is a military inter-computer data exchange format of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
With Link 16, military aircraft as well as ships and ground forces may exchange their tactical picture in near real time.
Hey all,
I'm new to the Defense industry and actually recently started my first job at LM working for the Po-sheng Program which is a command and control program for taiwan national defense. I'm performing a subcontracts role for the program and am slowly learning about the technologies used. Could anyone help me get up to speed and tell me a little more about link-16. Because i'm new i really haven't put two and two together but woudl be happy to share any info your interested in.
