Data link processor software, which is capable of running on standard laptop hardware, helps manage the data links, radio frequencies and data forwarding for the system in a lightweight, transportable container.

Rockwell Collins’ FasTAK is an integrated targeting system that offers increased speed, simplicity and data integrity from the commander to the forward edge.
