In the chaos of combat, lives depend on fast communications. Whether on the ground, in the air or at sea, L3Harris delivers enhanced situational awareness and real-time access to mission-critical information for warfighters in highly contested areas. With L3Harris' Tactical Data Links (TDL) and Line-of-Sight (LOS) networking and communications capabilities, fratricide potential is reduced and warfighter effectiveness is exponentially improved.

Warfighters around the globe have counted on L3Harris' TDL, LOS, and other wireless communications for:

Link 16 fighter-to-fighter communications
Link 16/LOS air-to-ground communications
Digitally-aided close air support
Network enabled weapons and autonomous swarms
Ground-based intra-brigade/tactical communications

Link 16/LOS Terminals, Radios and Gateways

With the threat of the emerging great power competition, militaries around the world need ways to counter peer adversaries across a multi-domain battlespace. With a 25+ year TDL legacy, we anticipate the challenges for the next generation of warfighters. L3Harris' TDL innovations provide the connectivity that significantly enhances mission effectiveness and improve warfighter safety.

L3Harris is proud to provide warfighters with game-changing innovations and industry firsts:

The world’s only small form factor, multi-channel Link 16 radio
The world’s first and only handheld Link 16 radio
The world’s first Link 16-capable Low Earth Orbit (LEO) spacecraft
