## Description
The Authority (DE&S) has a requirement to procure and support a Link 16 Network Monitoring and Management System and a Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol (JREAP) Network Monitoring System. The Link 16 Network Management and Monitoring System will monitor and enforce the Frequency Clearance Agreement (FCA) between the MOD and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), display Link 16 messages/emissions that platforms transmit during operations and exercises, display areas that limit the use of Link 16 within their boundaries and highlight to the operator if such an area has been impinged. The JREAP Networking Monitoring System will monitor Link 16 information flow from Satellite Tactical Datalinks allowing the Joint Data Link Monitoring Organisation (JDLMO) to analyse the data. The equipment will be installed at up to 8 sites across the UK (2 network management and up to 6 remote terminal components) providing complete UK airspace coverage.  In addition to the UK fixed sites there is a requirement for a deployable Network Management System capable of supporting 2 concurrent deployments.
