USAF Takes Over DARPA’s STITCHES Data Translator

An automated data feed translation tool has been transferred by DARPA’s Mosaic program to the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. military uses a multitude of different data links, each with a unique digital language. A long-term solution may be to create a common standard and force all military users to adopt it, regardless of their requirements. Alternatively, DARPA has developed an automated translator to allow otherwise incompatible data links to communicate with each other. Credit: USAF
