Joint Tactical Network (JTN)

Abstract

The Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM) software provides the ability to plan, monitor, configure and control the Army's Software Defined Radio (SDR) communication networks. JENM configures numerous SDR radios such as the Manpack, MNVR and Rifleman, enabling them to utilize the Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) waveforms such as the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW), Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA), Integrated Waveform (IW), and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) waveforms. Furthermore, JENM provides the Commander the ability to quickly reconfigure critical networks using its' Over the Air Management (OTAM) functionality. 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 effectively communicate. In accordance with the JTNC ADM and Charter dated 20 January 2014, the JTN active efforts include the SRW, the WNW and the JENM. FY 2016, Army PE 0605031.EF5 contains only the JTN (Waveforms & JENM) RDT&E funding. Starting in FY17, PdM Waveforms is executing from Project Code EX6 and JENM is executing from Project Code EF5.
