LINK 22 BACKGROUND (Cont.)
The Link 22 Has Been Developed Collaboratively
by Seven Nations Under the Aegis of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Six of the Seven NILE Nations Are Conducting The
In-Service Support (ISS) Phase Under a New MOU
That Came Into Effect on July 2002
The Current ISS MOU Will Remain in Effect for
Five (5) Years, Until July 2007
Spain Has Applied to Join NILE

IMPROVEMENT OF LINK 11
 Link 22 Overcomes The Following Link 11 Limitations:
– Lack of Electronic Protection Measures (EPM)
– Insufficient Capacity in Terms of Tactical Message
Throughput
– Insufficient Robustness (esp. Reliance on NCS)
– Insufficient Error Detection and Correction
– Inflexible and Slow Data Link Procedures
– Message Standard Limitations
– Limited Routing

 Differences
– Link 22 Has No Net Control Station
– Link 11 Does Not Distiguish Between Urgent and Routine Information
– Link 22 Has Built In Relay
 Commonalities
– The Same Frequencies (HF And UHF Fixed Frequency)
– The Same Radios (HF And UHF FF)
– That’s It!
 Link 22 Has More In Common With Link 16 Than Link 11

LINK 22 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 Late Network Entry (LNE)
– The Purpose of LNE Is to Allow Units Which Were Not
Present at the Start of a NN/SN to Join
– LNE is Used when a NU is Completely New, i.e. It Was Not
Listed in the Optask Link Message (OLM) and/or when
Media Parameters Have Changed From That in the OLM
– LNE Includes Now a “Silent Join” Option that Allows a Unit
to Join the Network Without Making Any Transmission
– Operator Input is Minimal
– Considered to be an Automated Background Activity

 Dynamic Reconfiguration
– Each NN can be reconfigured:

Network Cycle Structure (NCS)
– The SN/NN Will Keep Operating During The Above
Reconfigurations
 Re-Initialization
– New NNs can be started after SN Initialization
– Each NN can change Frequency, Waveform and Crypto Integrity

LINK 22 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 Multiple Link 22 Networks Complement Link 16
– Link 16 Is Primarily an AAW Data Link
Frequently Relies on Airborne Relays
– Link 22, Originally Defined as Primarily Maritime
(ASW/ASUW), Is More a General Purpose Data Link
Extended Surface Wave and Long Range Sky Wave HF
Ship-Ship Relay Networking Extends Connectivity
– Link 22 Can Free up Additional Capacity for Link 16
Conversely, Link 22 Is Essential for Carrying Data that will
Be “Pushed Off” of Link 16 During High Intensity Conflicts
