Datalink数据链
A datalink is a digital communication link used to exchange data between an aircraft and ground stations, satellites, or other aircraft. In aviation and UAV documentation, the term appears in communication system descriptions, command and control interfaces, air traffic services, operational procedures, and security guidance to specify message formats, frequencies, lost-link behavior, and the distinction between datalink traffic and voice or payload video channels.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter datalink in UAV command and control manuals, ground control station software, air traffic services messages, and remote identification documentation. It appears in lost-link procedures, signal strength indicators, and interface labels. Localization must keep technical terms such as uplink, downlink, and C2 link distinct, because mixing them can change the meaning of emergency procedures.
Translation checks
A common error is translating datalink as "数据链路" and then abbreviating it inconsistently, or merging it with "telemetry" when telemetry is only one data type carried by the link. Some translations also use "数据连接" in ways that sound like a physical connector. This can create confusion in lost-link checklists and system status displays where precise link state matters.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
