Data Links Simplified
TCG’s Ground Tactical Data Link System (GTS®) provides operational users an affordable, interoperable, and combat-proven battlefield tactical data link (TDL) system with comprehensive Situational Awareness (SA), Command and Control (C2) and non-C2 data link capabilities. The GTS suite of products supports multiple data links including Link 16, Link 11, SADL, VMF, and Link 22. TCG’s GTS solutions also support other key military communications protocols and interfaces, including JREAP-A, JREAP-C, SIMPLE, DIS, ADS-B, GPS, and AIS.
The GTS is also available in multiple, cost-effective configurations to allow for use in fixed command centers; mobile, deployed operations down-range; or for other specific military applications. TCG’s GTS is DOD-accredited with full authority to operate when connected to the SIPRNET and is on the Air Force Approved Product List.
GTS is easily customizable to meet specific architecture and information exchange requirements and is configurable by the warfighter to meet multiple mission areas such as data link command and control engagements, border security, close air support (CAS), and situational awareness. The GTS is modular and designed for rapid deployment, quick set-up, and ease of use; even for operators without extensive tactical data link training. The proven TCG underlying product architecture enables multiple units to simultaneously share a single Link 16 terminal or host multiple terminals. The GTS is available in multiple hardware configurations based on specific mission requirements, including a ruggedized option for mobile, forward theater deployment.
These configurations have been designed to provide warfighters with a state-of-the-art, accredited solution with comprehensive TDL capabilities tailored to their specific requirements.
The embedded world class TDL simulation engine supports a sophisticated training capability to support basic, intermediate, and advanced individual and group data link training as well as mission rehearsal, war gaming support, Blue/Red air operations, and post mission debrief and analysis. The GTS allows operators to simulate individual and group air, land. sea, and space assets with real time control. Simulation features also include radio/terminal emulation, TDL network simulation, and command and control scripts. In live operations GTS supports full situational awareness, flight following, safety of flight and a full command and control capability.
The GTS can also control up to 20 local or remote Link 16 terminals from a single command station. It can also a provide Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training capability by broadcasting fully interactive simulated tracks. GTS inherently facilitates understanding and fosters confidence, ultimately leading to the development of a skill set critical to mission accomplishment.
