JTNTE Mobile Platform • Purpose

– Establish persistent tactical networks in the way they are

intended to be used by the Warfighter

– Extend the Line of Site for systems being used and provide

Last Mile connection to the TSN

– Provide tactical network node for: • Link 16

• Blue Force Tracker 1 with KGV-72 (BFT1)

• Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS)

• Joint Tactical Radio System with SRW (JTRS)

• Remote Operations Video Enhanced Receiver 4 (ROVER)

• Tactical Point to Point Ethernet Radio


• Military tactical data exchange network

• Military aircraft, ground forces and ships may exchange tactical

pictures and messaging in near-real-time

• TDMA-based secure, jam-resistant high speed data link

• Frequency band 960-1215 MHz (LOS)

• Mil-STD-6016 data structure

• Used on at least 20 different platforms (e.g. F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22,

A-10, AWACs, Bombers, tankers, Patriot, THAAD, AD/BDE TOCs)

Air Defense Systems

Integrator

Multifunctional Information Distribution System

MIDS Low Volume Terminal (LVT2)

Quad Element

Omni Antenna


• Enhance battle space situational awareness fratricide prevention -

allows weapons platforms to see where other EPLRS are located

– Limited BFT units for SA and some C2, Key Leaders in the EPLRS AOI

• TDMA-based secure, jam resistant, computer controlled

communications network that distributes near real-time tactical

information

• Provides platform position information independent of Global Position

System (GPS) operating at 420-450 MHz (terrestrial LOS only)

• Provide a self-forming, self-healing network

• Provides terrestrial connectivity for FBCB2 and a joint link to Marines

and Air Force

FBCB2 V5

Defense Advance GPS Receiver (DAGR)

EPLRS/RT-1720G/URO

EPLRS with ENM


• Enhance battle space situational awareness

• Two modes of BLOS operation/communication: One-way or Two-way

• Two types of systems deployed (BFT 1 and BFT 2)

• BFT 1 can now send Type 1 encryption data (KGV-72 being tested

during NIE)

• Uses either SATCOM or military satellites (BLOS)

• Prevent fratricide, track valuable military assets, provide emergency

communication, and allow search and rescue forces to quickly locate,

identify, and communicate with at-risk personnel

• Provide SA and limited C2 form designated Key Leaders to EPLRS

within an Area of Interest (AOI)
