Abstract :
The tactical digital information link-A (TADIL-A) is used for situational awareness dissemination to the warfighter at both HF and UHF. With the addition of TADIL-A to the joint tactical terminal (JTT) operational requirements document (ORD), it served as a test for demonstrating the ability to instantiate a legacy broadcast waveform into a software re-programmable, digital tactical intelligence terminal. Software resident in a field-proven TADIL-A data terminal set (DTS) was re-written in higher order language to provide operation for both HF and UHF
