Skinny Pipes <-> Medium Pipes == trouble don't oversell it GG.
"The Joint Interoperability Test at Ft. Huachuca successfully demonstrated gateway interoperability connecting the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System to SADL. Installed in a C-130, the gateway system-enabled F-16s were equipped with SADL to receive and display Link 16 surveillance data at a distance of more than 300 nautical miles.
The C-130 crew received situation awareness via electronic data that pinpointed the locations of EPLRS ground units. Then the C-130 crew was able to send text and 9-line data to the SADL-equipped F- 16s. The test was conducted in conjunction with the Air National Guard and the Air Force’s 42nd Airborne Command and Control Squadron."
Anything is possible with money and unfortunately there's not enough of it. We're all waiting for TTNT to become a reality.
QUOTE=GGTharos;794524]Link-16 connects everything with a terminal. For ground troops (well, more specifically FACs, not every soldier gets a dlink) there's SADL <---> Link 16.
