Can a THS do VDL?

Understanding data links and platform compatibility is key here. If a THS includes the VDL transceiver and the necessary software, it can participate in VDL as part of its normal mission operations. This means the THS can send and receive VDL data—such as target coordinates, status, and messages—without needing hardware changes or being restricted to training-only use. The ability is built into the system when the VDL capability is present and properly configured, so no modification or special conditions are required to perform VDL in standard operations. The other options imply you must modify the hardware or wait until training, which would only be true if the THS didn’t have native VDL capability or wasn’t configured for it. Since the THS can operate on VDL when equipped, the best answer is that it can do VDL.
