L-3 Communications is using SNT technology to validate applications and hardware for a Multi-Role Tactical Common Data Link Network L-3 Communications is using SNT technology to develop the MR-TCDL (Multi-Role Tactical Common Data Link) Network. MR-TCDL is a Wireless, IP-based, Mobile Ad-hoc Networking System that provides high bandwidth capacity over very long ranges. Prior to test flights featuring real aircraft, L-3 connects real WMR/MRT-CDL prototypes to an emulated fleet of aircraft in EXata. The pretest-flight validation process, in system design and development phases, is intended to reduce the risk of system or network failure during system testing and actual flight test acceptance phases. With real hardware and actual algorithms
integrated into the simulation process, protocol
service verification takes place throughout
various stages of product development, not
just at the final step. QualNet-based simulation
is critical to understanding and refining the
performance of IPCM, network protocols and
The SNT technical whitepaper entitled Test & Evaluation of Network-Centric Systems includes Section 6, which details the L-3 project.
SNT will hold a free webinar on April 14, 2009. The topic is Integrating QualNet and Satellite Tool Kit (STK) using SynQ. We will introduce SynQ, an application developed by Trinnovations, that leverages the best capabilities of QualNet and STK in a tightly integrated framework. The result is a 3D network emulation tool offering:
