Required policies to establish datalink strategy of Department of Defense (a) Policies required (1) In general The Secretary of Defense shall develop and implement policies to establish a unified datalink strategy of the Department of Defense (in this section referred to as the strategy ). (2) Elements The policies under paragraph (1) shall provide for, at a minimum, the following: (A) The designation of an organization to serve as the lead coordinator of datalink activities throughout the Department of Defense. (B) The prioritization and coordination across the military departments with respect to the strategy within the requirements generation process of the Department. (C) The use throughout the Department of a common standardized datalink network or transport protocol that ensures interoperability between independently developed datalinks, regardless of physical medium used, and ensures mesh routing. In developing such policy, the Secretary of Defense shall consider the use of a subset of Internet Protocol. (D) A programmatic decoupling of the physical method used to transmit data, the network or transport protocols used in the transmission and reception of data, and the applications used to process and use data. (E) Coordination of the strategy with respect to weapon systems executing the same mission types across the military departments, including through the use of a common set of datalink waveforms. In developing such policy, the Secretary shall evaluate the use of redundant datalinks for line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight information exchange for each weapon systems platform. (F) Coordination
