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 were planned to operate in networks supporting the Common Operating Picture, Situational Awareness, and interoperability of Mission Command systems throughout the battlefield. AMF radios were planned to 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 were planned to operate waveforms that are deployed by Joint Forces today, and would have introduced networking waveforms to the Aviation community that would have enabled interoperability between air and ground forces and transport operational and Mission Command information through the tactical network. AMF radios were planned to 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. On 17 July 18, the Army Acquisition Executive signed both the SANR Closeout Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) and SANR Termination plan. The ADM and plan initiated a program termination action and directed an orderly shutdown of the SANR program. The SANR subprogram (Project EG6) has no approved requirement and all SANR funding has been withdrawn in FY 2020 and beyond.
