AbstractModern military data communications take many forms, from the highly structured data links such as Links 11, 16 and 22 to the more free format structures now used in web enabled technologies. These form the basis of much of the Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and Network Enabled Capabilities (NEC) that are now being developed by the US, UK and other NATO and allied nations.
SMi's Military Data Links 2006 will review current capabilities, the associated programmes and developments, and will look forward to how these can be integrated into the developing global information architecture along with the issues that need to be addressed to make it work.
