Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS)

Abstract

The Joint Program Office (JPO) for Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) Terminals supports the Joint Services and the Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The IBS transmits worldwide time-sensitive tactical and strategic intelligence and targeting data to all echelons of Joint Service operational users. The JPO is responsible for coordinating modernization and sustainment of IBS terminals compatible with the UHF SATCOM IBS broadcasts in support of Air and Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Soldier Lethality, and Network Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Cross Functional Teams and Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node. The JPO is pursuing a next generation non-developmental item to replace the existing Joint Tactical Terminals (JTT) due to obsolescence and sustainment costs with current JTT configurations. The transmit/receive-capable JTT systems currently consist of the JTT-Senior and JTT-IBS configurations. The JTT is the official IBS producer system, and ensures continued IBS interoperability to a variety of tactical producers/consumers across the Joint Services Program.
