The Small Tactical Terminal (STT) KOR-24 brings ruggedized mobile network connectivity to tactical warfighters and disadvantaged platforms such as ground vehicles, helicopters, UAVs, small boats, and network enabled weapons. Co-developed by ViaSat and Harris, this two-channel radio is designed to meet the needs of users who have Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) constraints but need the information available on Link 16 networks and/or tactical VHF/UHF.

The STT can be used to bridge the gap in users’ awareness between the air picture provided by TADIL J/Link 16, and the ground picture provided by VMF and other VHF/UHF data link formats. This two-channel radio dramatically reduces data latency and improves data integrity between the traditional network platform users and the edge users for both situational awareness and command and control. Link 16 built-in identification means that STT terminals provide blue force reporting to reduce blue-on-blue engagements. With standardized TADIL messages and Ethernet interfaces, the STT can be used with multiple computers in a wide range of applications.
