So long range air to air missile such as AIM-120, Meteor or air to ground missile such as LRASM, AARGM, SLAM-ER …etc all have 2 way datalink so that they can communicate with the launch platform. Not only to report their position but also so that the aircraft can provide them with additional data about target trajectogy and position.
Do these missiles all use the common link-16 data link? Or something different? What are the range limit of datalink?
