Joint Tactical Network (JTN)
Abstract
Joint Tactical Network (JTN) supports the development and testing of the Joint Enterprise Network Management (JENM). The JENM software provides a single, converged network management tool allowing the Warfighter to plan, configure, load, and manage the Joint Services' tactical radios and networks in the field - a capability not available in legacy planning systems. JENM software supports several types of tactical radios and waveforms, such as enabling Manpack and Rifleman radios to utilize Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) Satellite Communications, Integrated Waveform (IW), and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Systems (SINCGARS) waveforms. Using its Over-the-Air Management (OTAM) functionality, JENM provides the Command the ability to quickly reconfigure critical networks. JENM enhances the S6's ability to conduct Course of Action (COA) analysis and Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), providing commanders critical information regarding communications. FY 2025 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 Advanced Networking Waveform (ANWF). JENM development provides integration of the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) and Network Management of emerging systems that enable Soldiers the ability to effectively manage ITN. Radio Planner development supports MUOS waveform planning continuous system improvements and rapid provisioning of the MUOS end-user terminals. These planning applications are deployed on and are critically tied to the Ruggedized Applications Platform - Tactical Radios (RAP-TR) hardware from Division to the Company level.
