Link 16 is a secure, jam-resistant, digital data link used by military aircraft, including the F-16, for real-time exchange of tactical information. It enables seamless communication and coordination between friendly forces operating in the air, on land, and at sea, this system is by US and NATO.
Link-16 is a high capacity, secure, jam-resistant, nodeless broadcast-type RF data link that uses a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol. It provides information distribution, position location, and identification capabilities in an integrated form for tactical military operations. Link-16 utilises the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) or the Multi-Functional Information Distribution System (MIDS) terminals, and the protocols, conventions, and fixed word message formats defined by STANAG 5516. JTIDS/MIDS operates in the upper ultra high frequency Lx band.
