TAD Tactical Data
TADIXS A Provides
one way satellite
delivery of digital data
from various shore
sites (SOCC/MPCC/
FOSIC/FOSIF) to
Tomahawk missile
equipped ships/
submarines and major
afloat commanders.
TADIXS B Provides a
UHF satellite broadcast
of near-real-time
contact reporting on
ocean surveillance and
land based emitter
intercepts to tactical
receive equipment
(TRE) configured
users, including
flagships and
TOMAHAWK missile
equipped platforms.
The standard
configuration is a dual
channel receive
capability merged into
a single processor.
