MIDS-JTRS
Abstract
Multifunctional Information Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS-JTRS) replaces the existing MIDS-LVT (1) (Low Volume Terminal) Link 16 terminal to meet the 2022 NSA Crypto Modernization (CM) Device Cease Key as well as DoD Link 16 mandate/directive and FAA/NTIA Frequency Remap mandate. The current MIDS-LVT (1) system became non-compliant on 1 Jan 22. MIDS-JTRS resolves all LVT (1) deficiencies and adds substantial combat capability enhancements to Link 16 Enhanced Throughput (LET) and Concurrent Multi-Netting (CMN-4) with Concurrent Retention Receive (CRR). MIDS-JTRS also provides multi-datalink capability, improving situational awareness and allowing rapid in-flight re-targeting in a cooperative combat environment. The B-1B does not have voice communication over Link-16 if the MIDS-JTRS program is not implemented. Program efforts will focus on delivering all mandates and directives, which includes integrations of MIDS-JTRS terminal and all associated software, wiring, and hardware updates.
