  Abstract

The Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), in collaboration with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United States Navy (USN), is preparing to deploy Link-22, a Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) tactical data link. This deploy- ment aims to address the limitations of Link-11 and support more comprehensive Network-Centric Operations (NCO). De- termining the appropriate configuration of the Super Network (SN) and the NATO Improved Link Eleven (NILE) Networks (NNs) is crucial to ensure effective Link-22 operations in the Korean theater. This paper proposes a design methodology for the NNs, tailored to the geographic and operational requirements of the Korean Peninsula. Our analysis, which is based on High-Frequency (HF) communication and Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation, indicates that four HF-based NNs with a transmission power of 100W and up to 500W provide reliable coverage for short to medium-range communications. This configuration minimizes communication gaps and ensures continuous connectivity. These results offer practical guidelines for the ROKN’s deployment of Link-22 networks.
