A new software upgrade called Net-T or network tactical for the LITENING and Sniper advanced targeting pods will allow 4th generation USAF fighters and the B-1B to act as flying routers for ground troops.
The Net-T pod capability allows units with ROVER-5s to communicate directly with each other using the aircraft to route those signals as long as they have line-of-sight to the aircraft.
