ENABLING NETWORK CENTRIC OPERATIONS
Tactical Data Links continue to be the prime enabler for how modern network centric operations are waged today.
The increasing prevalence of new data link technologies, interoperability issues, ongoing complex coalition operations and changing spending patterns means there is a clear need to keep on top of the latest developments in the tactical data links' domain.
Tactical Data Links 2012, then, provides a timely and important opportunity for the data links' community to gain the information it needs to confront an uncertain and multifaceted environment.

Meet your chairman: data links from past to present
Paul Langdon, chairman of Tactical Data Links 2012 and senior consultant at 3SDL, joins us ahead of the conference to look at some of the issues on the discussion table. From systems testing to interoperability and management, Paul reflects on his work with the likes of the Tornado F3 and Nimrod MRA4, as he walks us through some of the recent progress in the TDL field in this 10 minute session.
