Will the Harrier be getting SADL?

I dont think so.

 

Boeing was awarded a contract to provide 70+ Radar Harriers with Link-16 STT in 2017, and completion around 2019. So no, the DCS version is not SADL capable.

That said, both AV-8B NA and Radar aircraft have the ability to transmit and receive digital messages via their ARC-210 radios, using a system called Automatic Target Handoff System (ATHS).

 

Ground units equipped with a Target Location, Designation and Hand-off System (TLDHS) are able to generate and transmit digital CAS attack briefs that will auto-populate information on the AMPCD CAS and EHSD pages, and in turn the aircraft are able to transmit digital readbacks and "In" calls.

 

So while you won't necessarily be able to link up with other aircraft, you should expect some pseudo-datalink functionality.
