Joint Tactical Network (JTN)
Abstract
Joint Tactical Networks (JTN) is responsible for the portable, interoperable, mobile ad hoc networking waveforms and network enterprise services to enhance tactical warfighting capabilities. JTN applications are: (1) Interoperable – among all Services, capable of operating in a variety of hardware items, for both Program of Record and commercial Non-Developmental Item (NDI) radios; (2) Secure – meet all DoD and US Govt information assurance requirements; (3) Operationally Relevant – quickly and effectively meet evolving network mission requirements of Combatant Commanders and the Services; (4) Affordable – drive down procurement and support costs via a robust, competitive NDI market which adheres to open government standards. In accordance with the Joint Tactical Networking Center Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) and Charter dated 20 January, 2014, the JTN is to actively manage and fund the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW), the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and the Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM). Due to the JTN's extensive knowledge and expertise, the JTN will also enhance, update, and sustain the following Legacy Waveforms on a reimbursable basis: the High Frequency (HF) waveform, the merged HAVE QUICK II (HQII) and Very High Frequency (VHF)/Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Line of Sight (VULOS) waveforms, the JTRS Bowman waveform (JBW), the SINCGARS waveform and the UHF Satellite Communications (SATCOM) waveform. Prior to FY 2016 JTN is responsible for the development of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) and Link-16 waveforms which will transition to Navy in FY 2016, in accordance with the ADM dated 20 Jan 2014.
