Having a German radio doesn't make it. Link 16 is a military tactical data exchange network link as you know.
Link 16 information is primarily coded in J.-series messages which are binary data words with well-defined meanings. These data words are grouped in
functional areas, and allocated to
network participation groups(NPG) (virtual networks), most importantly:
- PPLI, or Precise Participant Location and Identification (network participation groups 5 and 6),
- Surveillance (network participation group 7),
- Command (Mission Management/Weapons Coordination) (network participation group 8),
- (Aircraft) Control (network participation group 9),
- Electronic Warfare & Coordination (network participation group 10).
It's not all about radio and linking the aircraft to other assets, it never is. That's why MIDS will never grand the Link 16. Thus I doubt they have the acces to produce and integrate the Link 11/16/22 to any other asset.
Pakistan will probably go for its own tactical data network system with support of Chinese.
Don't think that they'll ever be linked together unless JF-17 uses ASELSAN components :/
