Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
Abstract
The JTRS Budget Item Justification is located in the Navy's FY 2013 President's Budget under Joint Tactical Radio System Program (PE 0604280N, BA 5). The JTRS development program is a joint program managed through the JTRS JPEO. The funding for the program resides in the Navy budget. Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) is the Department of Defense family of common software-defined programmable radios that will form the foundation of radio frequency information transmission for Joint Vision 2020. JTRS radios are intended to interoperate with existing radio systems and provide the warfighter with additional communications capability to access maps and other visual data, communicate via voice and video and obtain information directly from battlefield sensors. JTRS will provide internet protocol (IP)-based capability to the warfighter and will replace all existing tactical radios based on the Services' migration plans. The JTRS program is built around an open Software Communications Architecture (SCA), allowing common software waveform applications to be implemented across the family of radios to provide joint-service, allied, and coalition interoperability. JTRS is a key enabler that will provide dynamic connectivity throughout the battle space to operate within the network centric operational environment. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
