Network centric warfare is a key enabler to present day military operations. Link 16, a tactical data link, is one means that combat air forces utilize to leverage network centric warfare. In the past, the B-2 community relied on stove-piped communications systems, but now the B-2 is in the early stages of implementing a fully integrated Link 16 system. This paper will show that the current integration of Link 16 will enhance the B-2's overall mission effectiveness by decreasing aircrew workload, increasing situational awareness, and eliminating many opportunities for human error. However, the current Link 16 implementation also has several hurdles to overcome in order to be fully effective. These hurdles, which include implementing hardware and software improvements, maximizing training opportunities, and emphasizing a commitment to Link 16 use in combat operations, are also addressed.
