TCG partners with ISI to offer expanded set of TDL solutions

Tactical Communications Group (TCG) has entered into memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Interoperability Systems International (ISI) to jointly provide tactical data links (TDL) solutions to customers.

TCG aims to license elements of ISI’s Universal Link System (ULS) to complement TCG’s Ground Tactical Data Link System (GTS) to meet the legacy data link standards needed by international customers.

ISI business development director Nikos Ghikas said that ISI is seeking to extend scope and jointly offer new innovative solutions in the future.

"We consider this cooperation with TCG, as the culmination of ISI’s expertise and long standing history in the TDL field, as well as its conviction in building solid relationships and creating synergies with top-of-breed companies, aiming at providing complete, effective and innovative solutions to the TDL community," Ghikas added.

TCG engineering vice president Frank Newark said TCG is partnering with ISI to offer additional data link capabilities to customers.

"While our immediate collaboration is focused on the Link 11 domain, we believe that additional cooperation opportunities will present themselves as more nations develop and mature their data link infrastructures," Newark added.
