What is a MIDS terminal?
• Multifunctional Information Distribution System – Low Volume Terminal (MIDS-LVT) is a communications and navigation terminal in full-rate production. When integrated into a host platform, MIDS-LVT provides Link 16 digital data link, Link 16 digital voice communications, and TACAN capabilities.
What does MIDS JTRS stand for?
Joint Tactical Radio System
The MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) is a 4-channel radio designed to run the complex Link 16 waveform and up to three additional communication protocols, including the Airborne Networking Waveform (ANW).
Who makes MIDS JTRS?
MIDS JTRS Terminal: 4 Channel Radio System | BAE Systems | United States.
What is Link 16 and MIDS?
Link 16 is a military tactical data link network used by NATO and nations allowed by the MIDS International Program Office (IPO). Its specification is part of the family of Tactical Data Links. With Link 16, military aircraft as well as ships and ground forces may exchange their tactical picture in near-real time.
What do you need to know about MIDS JTRS?
MIDS JTRS is a 4-channel radio that runs the complex Link 16 waveform plus up to three more communication protocols, including the Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT). This advanced terminal can also host and provide computer processing to run routing and platform-specific applications, lowering the costs of integration.
What does the Viasat MIDS JTRS radio terminal do?
