MIDS terminal are to be fitted to the Eurofighter, F-16, F-18E and Rafale.
For the next generation (F-22, JSF and RAH-66 Comanche) L16 is integrated into the avionics. Digital (JTRS) radios integrate the L16 waveform so that one radio can simultaneously handle all voice and data. For the next generation, the weight penalty is zero, It's all done by software.
MIDS terminals also support a L16-VMF (SADL/EPLRS) gateway. VMF allows MIDS/SADL aircraft (The IDM uses SADL) to link to ground unit EPLRS radios which provide targeting, display EPLRS-equipped vehicles and warn when targets are close to friendly units.
The gateway will also enable IDM/SADL equipped aircraft and L16 equipped aircraft to share a common picture.
The trick will be integrating it into the radar, weapon system and head-up display.
