Free Online TDL Training

During this difficult period many of us are working from home, and therefore very much restricted as to what we can do to maintain our essential skills.

Some of us may also have been planning to attend training courses which have now have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.  If you have any need for information relating to TDLs, this free short course may help start your education.  Attending the course will also provide access to our Defence Community Portal which contains a wealth of free downloadable material.  We welcome anyone from any background to join in.

This foundation level online training introduces some of the principles and the theory behind of TDLs and discusses the value of these techniques in military applications.  The course also examines some of the TDLs that have been used by NATO to support tactical operations during the last few decades.

Key Topics:

• Why do we need TDLs
• What TDLs provide to us
• Components of a TDL
• What major TDLs are currently in use - followed by a brief description of each (Link 11, Link 16, Link 22, Variable Message Format).

The webinar will commence at 0930 British Summer Time (BST) and will run for approximately 1 hour 15 mins, after which we will have around 15 minutes for a question and answer session.
