Data Links
Choose from our wide range of communications protocols. Mix and match them with your existing tools or combine them all for a powerful communications stack that is complete, reliable, and precise.
Mandate™ MIL-STD-6017 (VMF)
The Variable Message Format (VMF) standard guarantees interoperability with common tactical data links. Mandate provides all MIL-STD-6017 and MIL-STD-6017A messages with low memory and processor requirements. Messages can be converted to XML to support rapid prototyping and testing.
Signum™ MIL-STD-2045-47001
Reliable network communication requires a uniform standard for data transfer at the Application layer. Signum is a compliant implementation of the MIL-STD-2045-47001 Department of Defense Interface Standard, Connectionless Data Transfer Application Layer Standard.
Appian™ IPv4
Modern network-centric warfare relies on the Internet Protocol to provide data routing capbilities across the battlespace and across the world. Appian is an IPv4 multicast router for embedded tactical environments and supports Ethernet, PPP, and MIL-STD-188-220 (SINCGARS) interfaces.
Arclight™ Blue Force Tracking
The Blue Force Tracking (BFT) transceiver is the standard interface for conntecting to the U.S. Army's Tactical Internet. Arclight provides the data link and network-layer capability to get you connected to the BFT network to send and receive C2 and SA messages.
Ventus™ MIL-STD-188-220
Ventus provides reliable data communication over unreliable half- or full-duplex transmission media. Ventus is a compliant implementation of the MIL-STD-188-220B, MIL-STD-188-220C, and MIL-STD-188-220D Department of Defense Interface Standard for Digital Message Transfer Device (DMTD) Subsystems. Use of MIL-STD-188-220 facilitates interoperability with other DMTD systems.
MTS Marine Tactical Systems
Developed from the Marine Tactical Systems TIDP, our MTS implementation supports the link layer and network layer protocols.
Open Systems Architecture
The Thomas Production Company supports open architectures as a way of lowering costs, reducing integration time, and increasing portability. All of our products can be packaged for FACE or SCA environments.
Dolmen™ FACE Environment
The Future Airborne Capability Environment defines the future standard for software interoperability in the airborne and military communications markets. Dolmen provides the tools and libraries necessary to establish a FACE environment consistent with the FACE Technical Standard 2.0 on nearly any computer system. Ask about our data link products that are represented by FACE data models and transport connections.
Quoit™ FACE Framework
Also check out Quoit, an object-oriented framework that greatly simplifies writing and testing FACE-conformant applications. Written entirely in C++, Quoit speeds the implementation and integration of FACE I/O service and transport connections with only a few lines of code. Use Quoit with Dolmen or any FACE-conformant environment.
Orchard™ JTRS Core Framework
Orchard is a set of software applications that implement the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) 2.2.2 Core Framework. Orchard uses XML files to dynamically load and configure JTRS components on any number of configured host systems.
