Real-Time Data Collection & Verification Tool
CIVET is a real-time Tactical Data Link monitoring and verification tool designed to provide immediate visibility into live message traffic and system behavior.
CIVET allows users to verify interoperability during execution rather than relying solely on post-mission analysis. By combining live message decoding with spatial visualization, CIVET supports rapid issue identification, system validation, and operational assessment.
- Real-time Tactical Data Link message monitoring and verification
- Live 2D and 3D visualization mapped to terrain and platforms
- Immediate detection of interoperability and performance issues
How CIVET Transforms Real-Time TDL Data Collection
01
Real-time message decoding and monitoring
CIVET continuously decodes live Tactical Data Link traffic at the bit and message level, providing immediate insight into system behavior as data is transmitted. This enables proactive monitoring rather than reactive analysis.
02
Live interoperability verification
CIVET validates live TDL messages against expected formats, requirements, and behaviors—allowing teams to confirm interoperability during execution instead of waiting for post-mission review.
03
Terrain-aware 2D and 3D visualization
By integrating geospatial and terrain data, CIVET maps live message activity to real-world locations. Operators can visualize platform movement, message exchange, and engagement geometry in both 2D and 3D views.
04
Immediate anomaly detection with operator alert
CIVET highlights message dropouts, timing issues, and unexpected behavior as they occur. This allows teams to identify and address problems during testing, training, or live operations—before they propagate.
05
Seamless integration with ISG TDL toolsets
CIVET integrates directly with ISG’s broader Tactical Data Link ecosystem, complementing iSMART/eSMART for requirements capture and MANDRIL for post-mission analysis. Together, they provide full lifecycle visibility from planning through execution and review.
Why Use CIVET
Real-time insight for mission-ready Tactical Data Link operations.
CIVET provides real-time visibility into Tactical Data Link behavior during live operations, so issues can be identified and corrected for in the moment, not after the mission ends.
By monitoring message flow, timing, and platform interaction as they occur, CIVET allows engineers and operators to validate performance, detect anomalies, and make informed.
When paired with iSMART for requirements, MANDRIL for post-mission analysis, and PULSE-M for live Link 16 monitoring, CIVET completes a fully integrated, mission-ready TDL verification solution.

MANDRIL
MANDRIL provides automated Tactical Data Link (TDL) interoperability across the system-of-systems at the bit-level. It decodes live or simulated data from more than 70 formats and performs detailed, automated verification against message standards and requirements documents, including MIL-STD, STANAG, and ATDLS.
By dramatically reducing analysis time—reported at up to 80–90%—MANDRIL enables faster data analysis, faster identification of bit-level/protocol errors, message compliance issues, and system integration problems
Analyzes tactical data link bitstreams to automatically verify live data consistent with MIL STD requirements and much more
PULSE-M
PULSE-M enables measurement and management of pulse density to support safe and effective commercial and military operations. By passively measuring actual pulse density (TSDF) in real time, PULSE-M enables network controllers to use the maximum safe bandwidth available, increasing flight-readiness training capability by 10x – 20x.
