HHL16 provides new capabilities to JTACs

A civilian contractor and a joint terminal attack controller use the Hand Held Link 16, which enables digitally aided close air support integration during the operational assessment of the Hand Held Link 16 radio March 24, 2016, at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Link 16 was originally designed for air-to-air missions, but the technology has made the transition to ground forces providing JTACs advantages on the battlefield that they didn’t previously have.
