Maritime Multi-Link (MML) Phase 2 Training Needs Analysis (TNA) Technical Assistance

The Maritime Multi-Link (MML) programme aims to replace the existing Beyond Line of Site (BLoS) Link 11 system with Link 22. Link 22 has been developed within NATO since the late 1980s and can be referred to as the NATO Improved Link Eleven (NILE) system. It will interconnect air, surface, sub surface and ground based tactical data systems, so that Units can share their tactical pictures in Near Real Time[1] (NRT) and at distances BLoS. The long-term aim is to achieve a pan-fleet Link 22 capability installed on multiple platforms

The requirement is to conduct targeted elements of Training Needs Analysis (TNA) to support the development of steady state training for The MML operators and maintainers that will allow personnel to Operate, Maintain, Diagnose and Repair (OMDR). It also provides direction on how the TNA should be carried out, and provides details of some of the key issues and considerations that must be made in its conduct. The TNA will inform the transition timescales from interim OEM training to steady state training to be delivered for MML.
