As you know, we have been working hard to ensure that IDLS2020 could go ahead in Herning later this year. At the July Board of Directors' meeting, we reviewed the current global situation with regards to Covid-19; the government and corporate policies and the restrictions on travel. Following this thorough review, it became clear that it would unfortunately be impossible to run the event. The Secretariat is working hard to contact everyone affected by this decision and the Technical Committee and Events Team are considering whether some form of virtual event may take place. As soon as we have more information we will share it with you. We are bitterly disappointed that we will not get to see our members and delegates in person this year. We are, however, looking forward to welcoming all of you to IDLS2021 which takes place in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada from 1 November to 4 November 2021. 21 July 2020
We are delighted to announce the plans for the IDLSoc 2020 Virtual Event. The event is free to all members of the International Data Links Society – you simply need to register. The event will run during the week that IDLS2020 was scheduled to take place; from the 26th – 30th of October 2020. This will be a virtual event made up of different elements from the live event, it will not be a complete recreation. The IDLSoc Virtual Event will include: Technical Presentations Panels 2hr long Training Overviews 25 minute Capability Overviews Annual Meeting of Members These sessions will all be live. However, each session will be pre-recorded and made available on the virtual platform to all registered attendees for those who are unable to attend. There will be a series of demonstrations by different vendors that will take place throughout the week. These will all be based around a singular scenario, allowing participants to compare capabilities, and note where different vendors’ kit can complement another vendors’ equipment. To register please visit the event site
The next demo planning call will take place on 26 May 2020 at 17:00hrs. If your organisation is considering joining this years demonstration and have not been invited to the call. Please contact events@idlsocweb.org for the call information.
Due to the current situation, it is with regret that we have taken the decision to cancel the AGM. Hopefully, we will be able to reschedule for later in the year.
The aim of the TDL Interoperability Summit is to inform stakeholders and the wider Defence and Defence Industry community of current and future issues concerning TDL in the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The focus of the TDL Interoperability Summit is to bring Defence and Industry together to develop an understanding of the issues and activities currently affecting the TDL community.
Ladies and Gentlemen, at this years IDLS 2019 in Edinburgh from the 29th to the 31st of October the second German/DACH Chapter Meeting will take place on Thursday the 31st October. We would like to invite you to this event to talk about the German, Swiss and Austrian developments in TDL, the potential of cooperation and to contribute and shape the future structure of this meeting. On our first meeting in April 2019 this chapter has established its goals, which include to be a platform to improve the cooperation and understanding of TDL insight German, Austria and Switzerland. The Agenda for our current meeting is not set yet, but we will speak about test events in Germany, upcoming TDL projects, new technologies (like the use of AI in TDL) and new information platforms to get TDL knowledge available to you. We hope to encourage you to participate in this meeting and to see many people at the meeting and IDLS. We’re looking forward to it and wish you all the best. Kind regards Chairmen Kai Thurner and Vice Chairmen Jens Paulzen

IDLS2019 Theme Announced. This year’s theme focuses on the advantage gained through the employment of Tactical Data Links. Today’s operational environment benefits greatly from the compilation of multiple data feeds. These information streams provide unprecedented situation awareness and force application capabilities. The superiority gained through these TDL systems is due in large part to the Interoperability levels achieved by the systems and services you will find at this symposium. The IDLS 2019 event will showcase educational streams, a dedicated training day, guest speakers, main stream presentations from the industry’s leading experts, comprehensive demonstration vignettes, and an exhibition showcase where the latest TDL capabilities will be available for detailed description by the world’s leading TDL system providers. We hope you find the combination of these offerings will help you achieve optimal information superiority! More information is available on the IDLS2019 Website.

The annual International Data Links Symposium (IDLS) will be held in San Diego this year. This is unquestionably one of the most significant worldwide locations due to its first class resources, which are focussed on countering all military threats and developing advances in TDL technology. The International Data Links Symposium (IDLS) is a joint international community event, which spans all Data Link related capabilities and aspires to provide a programme that contains relevant, focussed and high-quality stimulus to tackle some of these transformational challenges. IDLS2018 Theme: Planning for Transformational Success The Data Links community continues to work within a world that is rapidly changing, from geopolitical, economic and technological points of view. We are facing emerging military threats, such as the ever-increasing Ballistic Missile capability of North Korea, and cyber warfare tactics of non-Allied Nations. At the same time, we are moving towards the roll out of next generation Tactical Data Link (TDL) technologies, such as Link 22 and Link 16 capable radio development and expansion. The changes that are in front of us need to be effectively managed, to ensure that we achieve a high level of collaborative interoperability, within the constraints of our individual National defence procurement budgets.
