BAE Systems has been awarded a contract worth up to $84.7
million to provide the U.S. Navy with the ability to simultaneously
transmit and receive real-time intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR) data from multiple sources and exchange
command and control information across disparate networks. Known as
the Network Tactical Common Data Link (NTCDL) System, this new
technology will allow the Navy to share large quantities of
critical ISR data across platforms and networks.

NTCDL enhances the Navy’s situational awareness and tactical
battlefield advantage through a real-time exchange of voice, data,
imagery, and full-motion video from a variety of sources: air,
surface, subsurface, and man-portable. With NTCDL, warfighters will
be able to support multiple, simultaneous networked operations
using currently fielded Common Data Link (CDL) equipment, as well
as next-generation manned and unmanned platforms. Initial systems
will be installed on Navy aircraft carriers and large deck
amphibious ships.
“Our technology enables greater and faster delivery of tactical
communications and information-sharing to help the Navy maintain
its maritime advantage,” said Brian Walters, vice president and
general manager of Electronic Combat Solutions at BAE Systems.
“We’re providing a technology that will create a pathway to more
advanced capabilities.”
NTCDL is a modular, scalable system designed to increase link
capacity and embrace waveform evolution. The technology uses an
open systems architecture with non-proprietary interfaces, and is
reprogrammable so that it can adapt to new and evolving mission
needs.
As the program’s prime contractor, BAE Systems will work with
partner Ball Aerospace to advance the two companies’ joint Multi
Link CDL Systems development efforts. The work will be performed
primarily at BAE Systems’ facilities in Wayne, New Jersey and
Greenlawn, New York.
