Link 22 Training Foundation:

Link 22 Training Foundation Course with hands-on exercises (Onsite, Online, and Classroom Live)

This emerging Tactical Data Link (TDL) is seen as the replacement for Link 11 throughout NATO. The first implementation commenced in 2007. The Introduction to Link 22 Training Foundation course, which is based on STANAG 5522 and ADatP-33, gives the student a sound theoretical knowledge of all aspects of Link 22 Operations.

The areas covered by the Introduction to Link 22 Training Foundation course include system architecture, network structures, and an in-depth look at the message catalog and the capabilities provided by those messages. Detailed message transactions can be demonstrated using the Diginext TACTX simulator.
