Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
Abstract
The Joint Enterprise Network Manager JENM software provides a single, converged network management tool allowing the Warfighter to plan, configure, load, and manage the Joint Services' Tactical Radios and their networks in the field - a capability not available in legacy planning systems. JENM funding supports several types of tactical radios, such as the Manpack and Rifleman, enabling them to utilize Mobile Ad Hoc Networking MANET and other waveforms to include: Mobile User Objective System MUOS waveform, Demand Assigned Multiple Access DAMA Satellite Communications SATCOM , Integrated Waveform IW , and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System SINCGARS waveform. Using its Over-the-Air-Management OTAM functionality, JENM provides the Commander the ability to quickly reconfigure critical networks. JENM enhances the S6's ability to conduct Course of Action COA Analysis and the Military Decision Making Process MDMP , providing commanders critical information regarding their ability to communicate. FY 2025 funding will continue radio planner development efforts to design, engineer, integrate, and test planning and management capabilities for the Tactical Radio network in support of the Advanced Networking Waveform ANWf. Continued development provides further integration of the Integrated Tactical Network ITN and Network Management of its emerging systems to enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage the ITN. Radio planner development efforts will also support MUOS Waveform Planning Continuing System Improvements and rapid provisioning of MUOS end-user terminals. Planning applications are deployed on, and critically tied to, the Ruggedized Application Platform - Tactical Radios RAP-TR hardware from the Division to Company level. 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.
