GMR 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. Following a Critical Nunn McCurdy breach the USD AT&L conducted a reassessment of the GMR program. Conclusions of the reassessment did not support certification of the program, thereby cancelling the program. In accordance with the ADM dated 14 October 2011, the GMR program office was directed to conduct an orderly shutdown of the existing GMR System Development and Demonstration contract which expired on 30 March 2012.
