COURSE OVERVIEW

Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) is an essential part of the modern defense and military landscapes, in no small part because of the way it satisfies the Department of Defense’s Airborne Networking requirements.

TTNT Architecture and Protocols Training covers all aspects of TTNT network architecture and protocols. TTNT represents a secure, robust, and low latency IP-based TDL waveform delivering the fastest ad-hoc mesh network to the tactical edge patented by Rockwell Collins. Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) is a secure and robust IP-based waveform that delivers the fastest ad hoc mesh network to the tactical edge.

CUSTOMIZE IT
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of the TTNT Architecture and Protocols Training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the TTNT Architecture and Protocols course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policymaker), and present the TTNT Architecture and Protocols Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
