AMF Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
Abstract
The 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, Situational Awareness, and interoperability of Mission Command 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. AMF radios will operate waveforms that are deployed by Joint Forces today, and will introduce networking waveforms to the Aviation community that will enable interoperability between air and ground forces and transport operational and Mission Command information through the tactical network. 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 MDA direction, the AMF Program will procure radios as Non-Developmental Items. FY 2019 RDTE funding allocated to SANR (Project EG6) supports planned program activities, such as, source selection testing and acquisition activities in support of contract award and continued development of documentation to support Milestone C. As part of the CSA Network Review, the Network Cross Functional Team (CFT) is reviewing the current network portfolio, to include review of the SANR program path and Capability Production Document. The SANR Program path forward is expected to evolve based on outcomes of the CSA Network Review and Network CFT efforts, as part of a modernized Army network. FY 2019 RDTE funds also support the procurement of Link-16 handheld radios for experimentation and concept refinement for air-ground integration, in coordination with the Network CFT.
