Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Tactical Communications Group (TCG), the leading independent provider of tactical data link (TDL) software solutions for military test, training, simulation and operational applications worldwide, today announced the successful deployment of TCG's LinkPRO software as the operational core in a state-of-the-art air defense command and control system being utilized nationwide by a coalition partner country in the Asia-Pacific region.
TCG's LinkPRO software, in conjunction with Raytheon Solipsys's Multi-Source Correlator Tracker ("MSCT") and other system elements is delivering capabilities which fuse air, land, surface and space surveillance into a single picture which, using secure tactical data links, can be shared with coalition partners. In addition, LinkPRO's comprehensive data link processing capabilities are being used to securely link ground operational centers with combat aircraft and other network-enabled platforms, providing true network-centric battlespace management.
"LinkPRO's success in this highly-sophisticated solution reflects the culmination of literally years of hard work by our world-class TCG software development team" said Ed Durkin, TCG's President and CEO. "We are extremely pleased to be part of this nationwide-deployment, and we believe our success here, and with other operational implementations of LinkPRO, will result in TCG becoming the TDL processing engine of choice for major prime partners who need truly open, extensible, complete, quick-to-field and cost-effective solutions for US and coalition partners."
