Enhancing Tactical Data Link Capabilities for Greater Communication Resiliency

San Diego, CA, December 17, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Due to the complex and evolving nature of the modern military operating environment, leaders across the DoD, Military Services, and United States Government have been tasked with providing capabilities that supplement the Warfighter’s ability to succeed, operate, and communicate across multiple domains. By providing shared, cross-domain capabilities, the Services can foster an enhanced level of situational awareness, which in turn can help to reduce vulnerabilities and support efficient mission success.

Defense Strategies Institute’s 2017 Joint Tactical Networks Summit, occurring on January 17th & 18th, 2017, will focus on the technologies, policies, and strategies that enable robust communication systems and advanced network architectures to facilitate joint cooperation in a multiple domain environment to support mission success.
