AMF Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
Abstract
The Airborne Maritime/Fixed Station (AMF) radios are software programmable, multi-band, multi-mode, mobile ad hoc networking radios, providing simultaneous voice and data communications for Army Aviation platforms. The radios will operate in networks supporting the Common Operating Picture (COP), Situational Awareness (SA), and interoperability of Mission Command (MC) systems throughout the battlefield. AMF radios will ensure the Soldier's ability to communicate both horizontally and vertically via voice and data within all mission areas and Common Operating Environment (COE). AMF radios will help close capability gaps by extending data networking to company and below echelons, enabling network services to the platform and connecting Army Aviation platforms to Army ground and Joint air network domains. Per Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) direction, the AMF Program will procure radios as Non-Developmental Items (NDI). The MDA, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD AT&L), signed the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) along with an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) in May of 2014, which identified the Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) and the Small Airborne Link 16 Terminal (SALT) as subprograms. SANR will operate networking waveforms that are deployed by Joint Forces today, enable interoperability between different types of platforms, and transport operational and Mission Command information through the tactical network. SANR is relevant to the Joint Functional Concept (Net-Centric Environment), Joint Integrating Concept (Net-Centric Operational Environment), Joint Operating Concept (Major Combat Operations, Stability Operations), and JTRS Concept of Operations (Tactical Wireless Joint Networks). On August 31, 2015, the SALT MDA issued an ADM tasking an orderly close out of the SALT subprogram. Total FY 2017 funding is $5.028 million, all of which is allocated to SANR (Project No. EG6). The FY 2017 funding provides funding necessary to continue source selection activities in support of contract award.
