The tactical data link is a secure military communication standard that can exchange tactical data between platforms and commands. Tactical Data Link (TDL) can quickly transfer and exchange information between command and control and defense platforms in land, air and sea. Testing and evaluating the interoperability of key TDL systems is essential to reduce the risks faced by fighter personnel in the field. TDL testing reveals the process to ensure that testing is performed as efficiently as possible in today's harsh environment. In the past 30 years, TONEX has provided situational awareness consulting and training for land, air and sea military operations, defense organizations and government agencies around the world, and has improved the operational efficiency of mission-critical TDL systems. Tonex provides Tactical Data Link (TDL) test training training camp. This training course covers the basic knowledge of Tactical Data Link (TDL) testing and provides knowledge to assist in the development, production, operation and maintenance of risk management of TDL systems and functions. The TDL testing and certification process is an integral part of the System Engineering Process (SEP), which determines the performance level and assists TDL developers in correcting defects. Learning Target: Clarify the fundamental principles and concepts of TDL Listing relevant TDL standards and benefits Explain the history and background of various TDL systems Illustrate the key concepts, functions and mechanisms behind TDL testing, evaluation and certification Explain potential TDL deployment scenarios List the basic principles, processes and methods of TDL testing Give details the fundamentals of TDL systems engineering and product life cycles Make clear the iSMART process and Interoperability testing methodology Illustrate TDL standards, requirements and operational models Make TDL testing and certification policies, methods, tools, and procedures applied to Link 11, Link 16, Link 22, SADIL, VMF, JREAP, EPLRS, IFDL MADL and other TDLs Audience: TDL Technical Managers TDL Engineers and Technicians TDL Project Managers Network Engineers TDL Analysts TDL Cybersecurity Professionals TDL Operational Test Staff Course Outline: Systems Engineering Life-Cycle Building Blocks for TDL Systems TDL Acquisition Systems Engineering Main TDL Testing  Activities TDL Types of Tests TDL System Reviews TDL Interoperability Management and Certification iSMART Activities       Life Cycle iSMART Support      Joint Certification Process      iSMART, JCIDS, IT & NSS Lifecycle  Best TDL Testing Practices and Lessons Learned Platform Data Example for C2 Systems Hands-On Exercises TDL Testing Workshops Learn More: https://www.tonex.com/training-courses/tactical-data-links-tdl-testing-training-bootcamp/
