Integrated Broadcast Service

Abstract

The Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) Product Management Office (PMO) supports all Joint services and Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) is the worldwide Department of Defense (DoD) standard network for transmitting tactical and strategic intelligence and targeting data to all echelons of Joint Service operational users. The JTT PMO's role is to consolidate and replace existing IBS terminal functionality and capability with a common family of Integrated Broadcast Service-Modules (CIBS-M) - both hardware and software - and to expedite execution of the IBS Technical Transition Plan (TTP). The JTT family of systems currently consists of the JTT-Senior, JTT-Briefcase, JTT-IBS and CIBS-M IBS broadcast receiver/transceiver devices. The TTP is a comprehensive refresh effort of the entire IBS network focused on rearchitecting the broadcast from its current multi-broadcast, multi-data format structure, to a single broadcast (Common Interactive Broadcast - CIB) and single data format (Common Message Format - CMF). The JTT/CIBS-M family of systems is a critical component of the TTP as these systems are the only IBS receiver/transceiver devices in the DoD being modernized to support both the new consolidated broadcast architecture and the National Security Agencies (NSA) crypto modernization mandate. The JTT family of system upgrades is imperative/essential to execute the over-the-air broadcast portion of the TTP in the near term to avoid a complete cessation of IBS data flow via the existing over-the-air IBS broadcast networks. The JTT/CIBS-M family of modules will be the official IBS producer, ensuring continued IBS interoperability to a variety of tactical receivers across DoD and the services throughout the TTP implementation period and beyond. This program funds the design, development, test and evaluation of JTT/CIBS-M hardware and software modules, as well as implementing performance enhancements to the family of JTT equipment. This is necessary to ensure crypto modernization compliance and to facilitate migration to a rearchitected CIB and CMF-based IBS broadcast structure. Funds also support JTT/CIBS-M training, equipping and supporting the Warfighter with improved Joint Readiness and Interoperability. FY12 Funds support the continued development, integration and testing of the Common Interactive Broadcast (CIB) waveform for migration to the IBS Worldwide standard DoD Network and NSA Certification.
