AMF JTRS

Abstract

JTRS is the Department of Defense (DoD) family of common software-defined programmable radios that will form the foundation of information radio frequency transmission for Joint Vision 2020. The JTRS family of products will be multifunctional, multiband, multimode, network capable, capable of providing communications through a range of low probability of intercept, low probability of detection and anti-jam waveforms. JTRS products will provide transformational communication capabilities for the warfighter. JTRS is intended to support communications readiness and mission success, in the 2 Megahertz (MHz) to 2 Gigahertz (GHz) operating frequency range, by providing military commanders with the ability to command, control and communicate with their forces via secure voice/video/data media forms. JTRS products are hardware-configurable and software-programmable radio systems that provide increased interoperability, flexibility and adaptability to support varied mission requirements. Airborne Maritime/Fixed Joint Tactical Radio Systems (AMF JTRS) is a key enabler to the transformation of airborne, maritime, and land based communications toward network-centric operations. AMF JTRS will operate with legacy radios and waveforms used by military airborne, surface, subsurface, and fixed station platforms. AMF JTRS is intended to provide new radio networking capability and will replace existing radio systems, facing long-term sustainment issues. AMF JTRS capabilities will be incrementally developed, with each increment building on the technological achievements of its predecessor, while providing expanded capabilities.
