Thales announced that the STANAG 7085 certification of its TMA 6000 wideband airborne datalink terminal by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), making the TMA 6000 the first European terminal of its kind to obtain certification in the United States. The TMA 6000 has now officially demonstrated its capacity to transmit all types of data (navigation, video, images) to the US-made manpack terminals in service with NATO ground forces.


The TMA 6000 provides high-speed datalink transmissions between airborne systems and units on the ground, a capability that is key to effective air support of land forces on military operations.

Operating in Ku band, the TMA 6000 airborne datalink terminal transmits sensor data at very high data rates. It is suitable for most types of aircraft, including UAVs, mission aircraft, combat aircraft, reconnaissance and laser targeting pods, and helicopters. Several data encryption options are available using either a built-in encryptor or an external encryption system.
