Note: NATO data link standards are developed by the Data Link Working Group ( DLWG ) in Information Systems Sub - Committe ( ISSC ).

Assessment

Link 1 is obsolete as NATO data link standard of the first generation and the current operational demands are not - or only limited justice. In addition, the confidentiality of the data to be transmitted content for lack of ECM resistance and inadequate security crypto NOT be guaranteed.
