Which system name is associated with an encrypted line-of-sight Tactical Data Link that supports full-motion video?

• A. PACWIND
• B. LINK 16
• C. SINCGARS
• D. JSTARS

Answer: (A)

High-bandwidth, secure line-of-sight data links are designed to move streaming video between platforms in real time. When a question asks for the name of the encrypted LOS Tactical Data Link that supports full-motion video, the fit among common options is PACWIND. This link is built to provide protected, short‑range to medium‑range video‑capable data sharing, enabling real-time video transmission for reconnaissance and targeting between nearby platforms.

Link 16 is a widely used encrypted data link, but it’s optimized for command-and-control and situational‑awareness data rather than streaming video. SINCGARS is a secure voice/data radio with relatively low data rates, not suited for full-motion video. JSTARS refers to the airborne platform itself and its integrated systems rather than a specific LOS data link name for FMV.
