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 funding supports 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, Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) Satellite Communications (SATCOM), 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 2022 funding will continue radio planner development efforts to design, engineer, integrate and test of planning and management capabilities for the Tactical Radio network in support of the TSM, and the WREN waveforms. Continued development aligns with the 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. Radio planner development efforts will also support MUOS Waveform Planning Continuing System Improvements and rapid provisioning of MUOS end-user terminals, as well as High Frequency (HF) Waveform planning in support of HF modernization. Planning applications are deployed on, and critically tied to the Ruggedized Application Platform - Tactical Radios (RAP-TR) hardware from Division to the Company level.
