National Data Link implementation customized to end user’s needs, for non-NATO countries or ensuring National TDL sovereignty

Scytalys designed and developed its Λ-Link (Lamda Link) product with the primary objective to attend to the emerging and growing needs of nations that either are not part of the NATO alliance / PfP or have decided to develop their own National Data Link ensuring their sovereignty in this field, while maintaining the use of their existing standard Data Links. In this direction, ULS – Λ-Link offers the Armed Forces of these nations with a versatile, reliable, efficient, affordable and proven solution that fulfils the following needs:

• Generate and disseminate the Common Operational Picture (COP), thus improving Situational Awareness (SA) throughout the Command chain
• Provide the backbone for inter and intra service exchange of tactical information within the Armed Forces environment, resolving interoperability issues
• Integrate all units/platforms into a common tactical network with appropriate information forwarding and/or relay by incorporating multi-link capable gateways
• Increase the tempo of operations
• Provide an operational and integrated tactical operations network, allowing Command and Control information flow amongst network participant
• Provide the flexibility to easily expand the network by integrating National TDL-capable units/platforms
