Joint Tactical Network (JTN)
Abstract
EF5 project: This funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. 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 configures 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: TrellisWare Scalable Manet (TSM), Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform, Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA), 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 2021 radio planner prototyping efforts will design, engineer, integrate and test of planning and management capabilities for the Tactical Radio network in support of the TrellisWare Scalable Manet (TSM), and the Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN) waveforms. Support to align with the Unified Network Operations (UNO) vision to provide 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. The radio planner prototyping efforts will also support the completion of MUOS waveform planning simplification and rapid provisioning of MUOS end-user terminals, as well as HF Waveform planning in support of HF modernization. JENM planning applications and radio planner prototyping efforts are deployed on, and critically tied to the Ruggedized Application Platform - Tactical Radios (RAP-TR) hardware from Division to the Company level.
