Joint Tactical Radio
Abstract
The JTRS budget justification will be found in the Navy FY 2012 President's Budget under Joint Tactical Radio System Program (PE 0604280N, BA5). The mission of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) is to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with software programmable, reconfigurable digital radio systems to meet Joint Vision (JV) 2010/2020 requirements for interoperability, flexibility, adaptability, and information exchange. JTRS will acquire a family of affordable, scaleable, high-capacity, interoperable Line of Sight (LoS) and Beyond LoS radios to support simultaneous networked voice/data/video transmissions with low probability of intercept. The program will provide operational forces with an upgraded, interoperable communications capability for improved battle space management and increased Warfighter effectiveness. Interoperability with allied and coalition partners is pursued through international cooperative efforts, including signed agreements with Japan, UK and Sweden. Beginning in FY07, all JTRS RDT&E Program Elements (PE) are realigned under the Navy JTRS PE (0604280N) for the current Budget Year (BY) only. From the BY+1 through the end of the FYDP, each Military Department (MILDEP) budgets for a portion of the total program. This transition results in the total JTRS development funding being managed out of three MILDEP PEs (0604280A, 0604280N, and 0604280F) across the FYDP, and consolidated into one Navy PE (0604280N) for the current BY.
