Close air support operations securely connected at the tactical edge.
The digital Video Data Link (dVDL) is a digital data link built for the full Litening Pod family—past, present and future. It securely transmits real-time imagery to ROVER video terminals on the ground, enhancing situational awareness for fast-moving air-to-ground operations. It is AES-256 encrypted, L-3 ROVER compatible and is built to keep operations connected at the tactical edge.
Whether you're flying CAS missions or supporting special operations, dVDL delivers securely encrypted imagery from air platforms equipped with Litening Pods to the ground forces that need it, with plug-and-play simplicity.
Already flying your Litening Pods with a Multi Band Airborne Data Link (MBADL)? dVDL upgrades seamlessly, requiring no changes to your aircraft or Litening pod hardware.
Works with all L-3 ROVER units—3 through 6, SIR and TNR—for smooth ground terminal integration.
