Chairman's Introduction 

Welcome to the 

Tactical Communication Forum (TCF)

I would like to thank all delegates who have offered ongoing interest and support to the event.  I feel the conference is building some momentum, which we are eager to harness and channel for 2020. 

​

As such, I am delighted to report that the 2020 event will be taking place in Kaunas, Lithuania and will be a 2.5 day conference 26-28 May 2020 at the 'Kaunas Hotel'.  

​

I am pleased that Viktorija Urbe from Lithuanian Armed Forces will be joining me again as Co-Chair for the 2020 event. 

As 

The TCF focus is on providing an environment for presentations and discussions only.  The target audience for the TCF is Military, Government and Industry personnel and is open for all attendees to provide useful presentations.

The TCF is not only a Tactical Data Link (TDL) forum, the meeting will also discuss the interface and boundaries of other tactical communication systems. TCF will explore Interoperability (IO) of Tactical/TDL communication issues, challenges, problems and initiatives such as:

• Requirements Management

• Operational

• Technical

• Procurement

• Interoperability

• Training

• Interoperability Test and Verification

Viktorija and I will be working to provide useful and enjoyable opportunities for socialising and networking, which we also see as a benefit of attending this informal forum.
