1. Scope This publication introduces Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) J. It is a guide for warfighters who have limited or no experience or background in TADIL J and who need a quick orientation for supplemental or in-depth information. The term TADIL J is used throughout the publication as United States (US) standard terminology, though TADIL J is known as Link 16 by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The document provides a description of each US tactical data system (TDS) that currently implements TADIL J. TDS descriptions include command and control (C2) and noncommand and control systems (for example, fighter aircraft) and their nomenclatures, capabilities, and limitations. Planning and operations considerations, network design and requests, architecture examples, and other general operational information are included. 2.
