TEWKSBURY, MA--(Marketwire - April 29, 2010) - Tactical Communications Group (TCG) (www.g2tcg.com), the leading independent provider of tactical data link ("TDL") software solutions for military test, training and operational applications worldwide, and Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) (www.agi.com), a leading producer of physics-based modeling, analysis and display software used extensively in mission planning, operations, battlespace visualization and post-mission analysis, today announced a new partnership.

"By leveraging TCG's data link experience and expertise and the power and capability of AGI's STK Engine across all current and future products, TCG will be able to quickly provide its global customers with a best-of-class and easy-to-use, multi-data link solution for testing, training, simulation and operational applications, including substantially improved capabilities for digitally-aided close air support missions."
