NOTE
Note, there may be some overlap between the divisions. (e.g. JT4 develops/supports the tools used by other divisions in many cases, so a capability may appear more than once)

| Tactical Data Link testing | SIMPLE Gateway | JITC Developed | Link 11 gateway |
| Tactical Data Link testing | TAMD Interoperability Assessment Capability (TIAC) | JITC Developed | TIAC is a modular tool suite. It consists of TIAC Components and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). TIAC Components are discrete binary modules that conform to the TIAC interface. These modules are Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) in-process servers. There are several different types of GUIs. The TIAC App is the general GUI. The TIAC App allows the user to dynamically add and remove TIAC components and connect them together. This GUI allows the configuration of the TIAC components to be saved, loaded, and ran. This allows a knowledgeable user to create applications that contain any subset of the TIAC components and capabilities. Other GUIs like the TIAC Log Replay hide this complexity and only allow a small number of specific configurations of TIAC components. There is a TIAC Service which has Web Service interfaces that can run TIAC Applications. The TIAC App allows a user to upload, save, create, and operate these TIAC Applications on the TIAC Service. Another GUI is implemented as NEST plug-ins which is able to reconfigure and operate the TIAC Applications on the TIAC Service. |
The TIAC tool-suite has many diverse set of capabilities. These capabilities can be dynamically combined to perform a complex set of operations. New components and capabilities can be easily added. New components can be developed then just need to be registered on the host computer for inclusion into the TIAC tool-suite. Afterwards, the user can add these components to an application. TIAC components implement the capabilities of the tool-suite. Some basic set of capabilities are:
• Passive Network Data Collection o UDP Port listener with multicast capabilities o Promiscuous packet collector (similar to WireShark) Optional filter on IP address, IP port, TCP or UDP protocol.
o Time Stamping
• XML rule based parsing of binary and text into XML.
• XSLT based formatting and processing of XML data o Custom extensions
• Data replay
• Database loading of data o On the fly with MS SQL Server o CSV file generation with XSLT
• Network forwarding of data o Without processing o After processing
• Remote control using TIAC Service
• Flexible and dynamic application construction
• Simple text and binary content filtering
• Radar Simulator o XML output o ARSR4 translator o Can apply XSLT to reformat the XML.
• Link-16 to CoT Translator
