Model analysis of Link-16 based on Global Grid Reference Model
Wang Long-Ya, Xue Wei, Luo Wu-Zhong · 2011
Research on modeling and simulation of Link-16 has attracted much attention nowadays. However as one kind of legacy system, Link-16 was not constructed based on layering principles and it is not well compatible with Global Communication Grid (GCG), also known as Global Grid (GG) that has been developed with military requirement in mind. This paper concentrates on applying Global Information Grid (GIG) layering principles on modeling and simulation of Link-16 data link. The following paper is divided into two approaches, the first issue is considered in a general way for briefing GIG layering principles and secondly we analyze the Link-16 system in layering principles to see if this tactical information distribution system can be divided into distinct sub layers.
