Plug-and-play installation and interoperability
Our terminal’s dedicated Link 16 channel ensures full interoperability with fielded MIDS-LVT terminals and backward-compatibility with legacy communication systems to exchange tactical picture information in real time. By retaining the MIDS-LVT form factor and interfaces, the MIDS JTRS terminal facilitates integration into platforms that already host MIDS-LVT. This approach minimizes lifecycle costs by taking advantage of past expenditures for platform integration of Link 16 and TACAN, while providing a gateway for new JTRS and other enhanced capabilities.
