With Link 16, communicate effectively in combined armed operations

Link 16 networks can be difficult to set up: Time Division Multiple Access communication (TDMA) architecture, multiple networks, Network Participant Groups (NPG), frequency constraints, etc. ANDESIT (Atos Network Design Tool) helps Link 16 designers deploy networks effectively.

First used by the French Navy’s “L16 Design Cell” to initialize their Multi-Functional Information Distribution System (MIDS), ANDESIT has become their Joint Network Design Tool.

ANDESIT makes it possible to initialize operations, mixing many types of platforms (Army, Air Force, Navy) within a mission.

Furthermore, ANDESIT is interoperable with allied platforms, allowing designers to import or export networks supporting the NATO standardized format (NETMAN T/1 Rev2 to Rev5).

Take part in a military coalition

Achieve strategic independence in network design

Deploy a network in a large and complex operational theater

Command the coalition operations

ACOR

ANDESIT is the Atos software product at the core of ACOR, available for international defense forces

ACOR is the Link 16 network design system of the French armed forces, upgradable according to operational needs.

It is an Atos development kicked off in the early 2000s, used in coalition operations Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Harmattan / Unified Protector (Libya), Barkhane (Mali), Chammal / Inherent Resolve (Iraq and Syria) and multiple joint exercises.

With ANDESIT, Link 16 networks comply with design constraints

ANDESIT integrates design constraints by making it possible to initialize multiple types of platforms, by building a network which Air, Land and Sea units can communicate and by providing initialization files adapted to the platforms.
