JTIDS Class 2M terminal
Implementing the tri-Service and NATO TADIL-J message formats, this radio has proven its ability to link Army, Navy and Air Force platforms. A true flood-routing algorithm simplifies the network setup and operation.
This single box, ruggedized for operation in Army vehicles and shelters, has a proven track record with the Army. Terminals can be set up by the user at a host processor by dumping a pre-stored mission load file, or by entering the local identifier code, allowing the initialization parameters (or even the network crypto keys) to be downloaded from a distant radio.
2M terminals provide precise position determination, and a positive self-identification. Forces on the move benefit from the terminal's flexibility; the omni-directional antenna provides 7.5dB gain around the full 360 degrees of azimuth.
An optional, directional antenna can be employed on selected point-to-point links without losing the ability to use the standard omnidirectional capability. The international standard X.25 host interface can allow for remoting of the terminal several kilometers from the user, or for even more remote operation over telephone circuits.
Variable message format allows terminals to embed messages in other formats (e.g., TADIL-A, ATDL, PADIL) or to transmit free-text messages, for maximum end-user operability.
