Abstract

As one of the key performance parameters (KPPs), the joint tactical terminal (JTT) program was required to be constructed with common integrated broadcast Service-Modules (CIBS-M), which were used to complete a family of terminals in alternate configurations. Successful actualization of terminals for the airborne and man-portable domains completes this family of tactical intelligence terminals using CIBS-M hardware and software modules. By establishing a common software baseline. Pre-planned product improvements (P3I) and operation and sustainment (O&S) costs are minimized over the entire family and life of the terminals
