The French Navy (Marine Nationale) is experimenting with a new L22 tactical data transmission channel during the deployment of its aircraft carrier strike group (CSG) in the Indo-Pacific region. The move underscores France's desire to strengthen its information exchange capabilities in the face of the increasing complexity of maritime operations and technological advances.
The L22 channel is an innovative system designed to provide high-speed and secure data exchange between ships, aircraft, and ground control centers. It allows you to transmit a wide range of information, including target data, coordinates, video streams and command instructions, which significantly increases operational awareness and coordination of actions within the strike group.
This system is part of Marine Nationale's broader approach to the digital transformation of its naval forces, aimed at adapting to modern challenges such as asymmetric threats, cyber attacks and the increasing activity of other States in strategically important regions.
The deployment of the French carrier strike group in the Indo-Pacific region provides a unique opportunity to test the L22 channel in real conditions. This region is characterized by a high density of shipping, a complex electromagnetic environment and the presence of many potential threats, which makes it an ideal platform for evaluating the effectiveness of the new system.
As part of the experiment, the L22 channel will be used to coordinate actions between the flagship aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, escort ships, anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters. It is expected that this will increase the level of interaction between the various elements of the strike group, as well as improve their ability to respond quickly to a changing situation.
Special attention is paid to the compatibility of the L22 channel with the existing communication standards of the allied countries, especially those that are members of NATO. This is important to ensure the smooth exchange of information during multinational operations, where the coordination of different fleets plays a key role.
The Indo-Pacific region is also the site of numerous joint exercises involving the Navies of the United States, Australia, Japan and other partners of France. The successful integration of the L22 channel into these operations can be an important factor in strengthening defensive ties between the countries.
