Transformational Communications Systems for DoD Net-Centric Operations

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) is moving ahead to establish the next generation of warfighting communications capabilities needed for global net-centric operations. The key programs that make up this new capability are the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT), the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), and the Defense Information Systems Network-Next Generation (DISN-NG). These programs will greatly enhance the ability of the DoD to share information, in real-time if required, improve command and control, and ultimately transform DoD operations. This article provides an update on the DoD's communications programs vision and status of the TSAT, JTRS, and DISN-NG programs.
