Joint Tactical Radio System
To achieve the information dominance called for in Joint Vision 2010 and 2020, commanders must be able to exploit real-time voice, data, and video communication in a network with highly extended forces. Mobile networks, a system solution from BAE Systems, make this task possible.
BAE Systems has been a leader in designing, producing and fielding programmable digital radios. Under the JTRS Step 2C development program, BAE Systems is the first to produce a working JTRS, SCA-compliant radio, and will be the first to produce and field SCA-compliant radios for service use.
Teamed with Boeing, BAE Systems is one of two radio suppliers on the JTRS Cluster 1 program, and is experienced in the development and certification of JTRS and network management in the technical environment. Teamed with General Dynamics, BAE Systems is the transmission subsystem lead for the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical (WIN-T).
BAE Systems is leading the development of the anti-jam and low probability of intercept modes of the JTRS wideband networking waveform. The low probability of intercept mode provides a featureless waveform for covert operations and urban warfare, where zero presence is crucial. The anti-jam mode provides high signal-to-noise and burn-through capability for operations in the forward areas of the battlefield, or whenever interference from jammers must be overcome.
The JTRS unit (Cluster 1 and WIN-T) seamlessly transitions between the operational modes of the wideband networking waveform to provide the optimal communications waveform for any environment.
With JTRS being used by multiple services, BAE Systems and its partners are already designing technology for future clusters to meet the network-centric warfare needs of naval, space, and air forces.
