Tactical Data Links

Interoperability for fast and efficient decision making

Tactical Data Links major player

Since its creation, CS GROUP via its brand DIGINEXT has set itself up in the role of an actual center of excellence for NATO Tactical Data Links (L11, L11B, L16, JREAP, L22 and VMF) but also National Tactical Data Links (such as Link H for French Armed Forces).

Being the long-term and preferred partner of NCIA, main NATO countries government and the French one, CS GROUP has also become known throughout the international community as the golden standard for the provision of products to be used for simulation, test and training environments.

Such a success has been reached thanks to both a top of the range expertise that is materialized by a team of acknowledged specialists in the field of combat management systems and Network Centric Warfare (NCW) operations, and an offering founded on off-the-shelves products.

Tactical Data Links (TDL) capability is now compulsory in any modern conflict as force multiplier to act in a joint contexts. The network centric approach enables the platforms already to share tactical data information and tomorrow even to share the features’ platforms.

Partner-of-choice

Today’s installed customer base is spreading across 20+ nations and NATO agencies with hundreds of systems being in service to support high-profile space, air, sea and land defence programs.
