The Space Development Agency (SDA) said on Aug. 7 that an SDA Tranche 0 satellite with Link 16 connected recently with an aircraft carrier. SDA was also able to transmit Link 16 messages from the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Tranche 0 constellation to an aircraft parked on the carrier’s deck. These successful tests continue to demonstrate using Link 16 from space to other DoD assets.
