STANAG 4660

NATO interoperable command and control datalink for unmanned systems.

Definition

STANAG 4660 (IC2DL) specifies a UHF/VHF tactical datalink for command and control of unmanned air, ground, and maritime systems, designed to coexist with national systems and provide a baseline coalition C2 path independent of platform-proprietary links. It complements STANAG 4586 by giving the messages a transport that is itself interoperable across allies.
