Battlelab
Based on its range of products in the field of Tactical Data Link and Simulation and supported by an proven methodology, DIGINEXT proposes the Tactical Battlelab concept consisting of interoperable and reliable simulation software solution answering today’s armed forces requirements for testing NATO or National tactical data links (TDL) systems interoperability and compliance with international standards (STANAG and MIL-STD). DIGINEXT’s simulation and testing tools are considered as the golden standard in NATO countries and defence industry offering a network-centric environment to share complex data in mission critical situations.
DIGINEXT has developed a wide range of modelling, simulation and testing systems required to run CONOPS and defence systems definition, mission rehearsal and analysis before deployment of Forces

NETX L16/L22
All data messages generated by a position, are computed by the NETX software before being distributed to all other positions (or one other position in case of an addressed message) according to rules and radio terminal capabilities.
The NETX embedded distribution is processed in accordance with the network design, the radio terminal features, the coverage capability (LOS, terrain intervisibility) and special events added by the operator.
Applications
- JICO operators training
- CONOPS study under National Tactical Data Links definition
- Validation of ground based L16/L22 network design
Key advantages
- Interconnection with NILE Reference System (NRS) components to provide high fidelity network behavior to Simulated Units
- Network regulation: bandwidth, time slots usage, terminal transmission queue simulation, message packing
- Network connectivity: implementation of dynamic Line of Sight limitations (terrain model)
- Network Management events : test messages, time slot modification
- Monitoring JU and Network Activity
- Initialization of load file validation process
- Network design import
- PPLI generation
- Receipt/Compliance
- Relaying
- MIDS ICD, SIMPLE, JREAP, SNC interfaces
- Compliance with SIMPLE protocol (STANAG 5602)
- All communications are performed on Ethernet TCP/IP connections
