1. Trident d’Or 2005 - Presentation
 TDL Objectives
 To validate and to refine the French “MICO” cell concept
 To validate the operational use of J-Sat for the first time in France
 Main figures





Planning : 7 months, only 3 for the equipment issues
Preparation and delivery of 5 cells (3 onboard and 2 ground sites)
Interface 3 sites with a MIDS – type D shelter from French Army
On board ships : 10 000 meters of wire - 6 antennas HF or UHF
Coordinate about 60 people for all the sites
 Challenges
 Persuade war fighters of the benefit of such a TDL operation
 Provide units without previous TDL capability a complete information center
able to receive and transmit on Link 11, Link 16 and J-Sat

3. Network Management – L11 set up architecture
 Main causes of the Network Management issues
 No respect of the OPTASK LINK message
 IUs TDL limitations
 Interoperability issues
 The JICO support tools must provide solutions in order to
 Control in real time the application of OPTASK LINK by IUs
 Know the capabilities and limitations of all IUs
 To clearly identify the I/O issues between the participants and the way to
bypass the problem
 Multi Link Architecture (MLA)
 In parallel of these points, the MLA will move permanently
 This means that the MICO needs to have “free hands”
 To adapt and fix MLA
 To distribute roles, duties and functions IAW the moving scenarios

 Main causes of the tactical picture issues





TDL operators poor skills and wrong behavior
Interoperability issues
Navigation errors
Inconsistency of the track data
Low performance of correlation algorithms
 The JICO support tools must provide solutions in order to





Make the ship navigate
Make the aircraft fly
Make the operator operate
Make the war fighters decide
For all this, the Picture must be clear and clean
 The role of the Tactical Data Link Team is to HELP and not to SPY
operator’s behavior and blame them

4. Tactical Picture - Analysis
 The MICO has to see on the tactical picture :
 Tracks data
 Symbology, Name, C/S, etc …
 Track Number
 Reporting Unit
 Units data
 Track Number Blocks
 TDL duties and functions
 Position, movement
 Issues
 Dual Designation
 Data Looping
 Problems, conflicts
 Everything has to be seen at a glance



FN obtained the FOC for the HRF (M) HQ
Very good training for all the participants
We demonstrated the real need for maritime point of view of a cell able to
manage Links
We were able to activate the reach back capability
Actions to be taken

5. Conclusion – Operational Point Of View
 To succeed, both operational and industry have to work together
 To build what operational people need
 Reduce the cost
 Operational people provide to the industrial
 The way the operations are conducted today
 An operational feedback on the tools
 The industrial provides to the operational people
 The way the system is working regarding the way it has been specified
 How technology can fix issues
 Having the industry on board the MICO Cell is a big help
 Who knows when the sea is very strong you can have what you want for
free……
