Battlespace Message Manager - Northrop Grumman

1 Battlespace Message Manager Low-cost tactical data link processing, routing and forwardingNorthrop Grumman s new Battlespace Message Manager (BMM) provides superior Tactical Data Link (TDL) Message routing, forwarding and processing at an affordable air, land and sea platforms can update to the latest Link 16, SADL, VMF and other data links for just the cost of BMM integration with the existing mission computer and platforms can achieve TDL connectivity for situational awareness, network enabled weapons and command and control functionality without TDL development updates for new TDL messages and enhancements can be integrated without changing the operational flight technology has been certified for operation on several platforms, easing the effort to achieve operational status.

2 It s portable to many different computing processors and operating BMM is highly configurable for tailoring to a platform s required TDLs, navigation, mission computer and display interfaces. BMM responds to Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for either local or remote (unmanned) configuration and monitoring. Industry standard Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) affords high throughput, low latency and flexible exchanges of TDL messages in a link-neutral representation for platform applications, visualization and network-based Grumman s Battlespace Message Manager supports key tactical communications: Link 16 Link 16 Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) MIL-STD-3011 (Joint Range Extension Application Protocol JREAP) Satellite TADIL J Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) Variable Message Format (VMF) Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) Cursor on Target (CoT) GPS Data Forwarding between 2013 Northrop Grumman Systems CorporationAll rights reserved.
