Tactical Service Provider (TSP)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the capability need for Tactical Service Provider (TSP) Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) as an FY 2007 new start. The objective of the JCTD is to demonstrate and deliver global broadband, mobile, integrated environment: Direct-PC-like service to handheld wireless devices for the tactical user. The TSP JCTD addresses the issues of “first tactical mile” support to mobile troops: rapid expansion of data networks through emerging high data rate, bi-directional Global Broadcast Services (GBS) 'at the Halt' or 'at the Pause' to hand-held devices for delivery of large data sets that require wide bandwidth. The TSP JCTD uses hybrid architecture of emerging, standards-based satellite communications and wireless technologies. These technologies deliver robust, lightweight, and commercially available applications, DoD tactical applications, and emerging net-centric enterprise services applications in a mobile tactical environment. Upon proven utility of the TSP JCTD to the Warfighter by the Operational Utility Demonstration (OUA), TSP capabilities and services will be fully transitioned to a major program of record. The GBS program is the prime transition target for the TSP JCTD. TSP capabilities and services will be mapped to the GBS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) to support requirements traceability for transition during the JCTD. Transition activities are divided into the following categories: Transition Planning and POR synchronization; Residual (Leave Behind) Support; Follow-on Acquisition; Security. The TSP JCTD OUA completed at the end of FY 2009.
