Abstract :
The Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) will result in a family of tactical radios all built upon a common, open software communication architecture (SCA). The JTRS SCA version 2.0 release includes waveform application programming interface (API) building blocks (BBs) that can be used to support a portable and interoperable wideband networking waveform (WNW) within a JTRS SCA-compliant operating environment (OE). This paper describes how the waveform API BBs could be used to support the porting of a WNW by describing Rockwell Collins´ experience in porting its wireless-wideband networking engine (WNE) into the JTRS OE The WNE is an ad-hoc wireless networking product that has been instantiated in multiple non-JTRS radios.
