1. Trident d’Or 2005 – TDL Objectives and challenges1. Trident d’Or 2005 – TDL Objectives and challenges

TDL Objectives To validate and to refine the French “MICO” cell concept To validate the operational use of J-Sat for the first time in France

Main figures Planning : 7 months, only 3 for the equipment issues Preparation and delivery of 5 cells (3 onboard and 2 ground sites) Interface 3 sites with a MIDS – type D shelter from French Army On board ships : 10 000 meters of wire - 6 antennas HF or UHF Coordinate about 60 people for all the sites

Challenges Persuade war fighters of the benefit of such a TDL operation Provide units without previous TDL capability a complete information center

able to receive and transmit on Link 11, Link 16 and J-Sat Train operators from Army, Air force and Navy to use a new system

To manage for the war fighters the complete LDT issues

3. Network Management - Analysis3. Network Management - Analysis

Main causes of the Network Management issues No respect of the OPTASK LINK message IUs TDL limitations Interoperability issues

The JICO support tools must provide solutions in order to Control in real time the application of OPTASK LINK by IUs Know the capabilities and limitations of all IUs To clearly identify the I/O issues between the participants and the way to

bypass the problem

Multi Link Architecture (MLA) In parallel of these points, the MLA will move permanently This means that the MICO needs to have “free hands”

To adapt and fix MLA To distribute roles, duties and functions IAW the moving scenarios

4. Tactical Picture - Analysis4. Tactical Picture - Analysis

Main causes of the tactical picture issues TDL operators poor skills and wrong behavior Interoperability issues Navigation errors Inconsistency of the track data Low performance of correlation algorithms

The JICO support tools must provide solutions in order to Make the ship navigate Make the aircraft fly Make the operator operate Make the war fighters decide For all this, the Picture must be clear and clean

The role of the Tactical Data Link Team is to HELP and not to SPY operator’s behavior and blame them

Main Objectives for French Navy FN obtained the FOC for the HRF (M) HQ Very good training for all the participants

Main Objectives for TDL aspects We demonstrated the real need for maritime point of view of a cell able to

manage Links We were able to activate the reach back capability

Actions to be taken Hard Training = Easy War FN TDLT is going to provide to the HRF (M) HQ the MICO operational and

Technical Requirement Document FN TDLT provided in September 05 the Concept of Employment for JSAT

5. Conclusion – Relationship OPS industry5. Conclusion – Relationship OPS industry

To succeed, both operational and industry have to work together To build what operational people need Reduce the cost

Operational people provide to the industrial The way the operations are conducted today An operational feedback on the tools

The industrial provides to the operational people The way the system is working regarding the way it has been specified How technology can fix issues

Having the industry on board the MICO Cell is a big help Who knows when the sea is very strong you can have what you want for
