Terminal Emulation/Host Integration Challenges and Lessons
Presented by: Eldwin Dollente
 

As more platforms implement a Link 16 solution, legacy host systems require software updates to communicate with the terminal host interface. Link 16 terminal emulation will enable host developers to update platform software in advance of receiving the physical radio, greatly reducing risk during integration.

This course will give an overview of Link 16 terminal emulation, network simulation and how to apply the capability to host development and training. We invite students to bring their own host software to connect to L3Harris’ terminal emulator to test and verify connectivity. This course will be in partnership with Northrop Grumman, Curtiss-Wright, and CS Group and will discuss common integration challenges and lessons learned.
