Portugal Air Force confirms the purchase of MIDS JTRS terminals for the five KC-390 aircraft to be received between 2023 to replace the four C-130 Hercules currently in service. The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) / Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) will allow the use of Link 16, the standard datalink of NATO military forces. With this update alone, the Portuguese government should invest more than three million Euros, with payments expected until 2028.
