October 8, 2021 (Herndon, VA)<\/b> Klas Government<\/span><\/a> and Sierra Nevada Corporation<\/span><\/a> (SNC)\u00a0 <\/span>announced the launch of a joint tactical communications solution today, enabling coalition partners to deploy Link 16 at a low-SWaP form factor not previously possible. The solution facilitates real-time data exchanges across connected battlespace domains (air, land, sea, space and cyber) while also ensuring a unified Common Operating Picture (COP).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensors deployed at the tactical edge of today\u2019s battlefield are constantly collecting situational data and transmitting it back to commanders, who know that the slightest delay in receiving or returning intel can cost the U.S. and its allies an opportunity to defeat a growing threat. Klas\u2019 Voyager Tactical Data Link<\/span><\/a> (TDL) Gateway with SNC\u2019s Tactical Radio Application eXtension<\/span><\/a> (SNC TRAX) is a small, lightweight, rugged network structure that extends data capabilities to the forward edge of the fight, optimizing Command and Control (C2) across echelons, battlespace awareness and decision dominance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLink 16 is the standard across U.S., NATO and coalition forces for transmitting and exchanging real-time tactical data, but the challenge has been making it available in a cost-effective, low-SWaP package that can be broadly deployed, while also enabling forces to seamlessly add new capabilities to meet evolving mission needs,\u201d said Chris Ericksen, chief revenue officer, Klas Government. \u201cOur joint solution represents a breakthrough by democratizing Link 16 deployment and unleashing the next generation of data sharing capabilities at the tactical edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Voyager TDL & SNC TRAX unleash the full vision of Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), enabling true multi-domain operations like never before. CJADC2 is built around the concept of connecting sensors, operators and command nodes from each of the military\u2019s six branches in a \u201cmesh network\u201d that would allow commanders more options and the ability to act faster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Voyager TDL Gateway with SNC TRAX enables soldiers to interact with assets and other partners in real time, amongst disparate networks, data links and data transport methods at the tactical edge. The joint solution integrates the following core components:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
