DLMS

Data Link Management System

The Data Link Management System (DLMS) is the “CORE” element for Data Communication Systems on Manned and Unmanned Aerial Platforms. The DLMS, as a Tactical Data Link Processor evolution, represents, for onboard systems, the gateway to access voice/data communications over broadband IP-based and legacy
Tactical Data Link systems.

In current military and para-military operational scenarios, fixed, rotary, and unmanned platforms are requested to enhance their communications capability and improve their level of interoperability between heterogeneous forces on air, ground, and sea, while increasing their efficiency in terms of better performance, higher flexibility and modularity.

These requirements can be translated into needs like multiple data link integration, innovative modular architectures to ease the on-board platform integration and to add new capabilities minimizing HW/SW changes, and security management, including support to networked data routing (IP Based) for the full integration of the platform into the net-centric operational environment.
