Proposal Statement
Funding a low-latency, high-bandwidth datalink for seamless multi-domain interoperability, that is connected via Wide-Band Apertures and Software Defined Radios.
Recommendation Information
ANG F-16s require secure, high speed, two-way data passage to operate in challenged/austere remote areas. Reception of off-board targeting, real time threat information, mission assignment changes, air tasking orders, mission data files, and the sharing of aircraft sensor data is critical to success in the high end fight. A low latency, high bandwidth, resilient data pathway for information passage increases the F-16s ability to operate in joint, multi-generation aircraft packages while maximizing pilot situational and threat awareness and allowing real time dynamic targeting. An improved data passage system enables connectivity and communication to all combatants when F-16s are operating outside traditional communications architectures, as in Agile Combat Employment operations or when legacy communication or datalink is being denied. All 332 ANG F-16s require Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT). This resolution is a 2024 WEPTAC Critical Capability and is supported by the CAF Task Force and F-16 Weapons Systems Council.
