Abstract

The Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) is one of the Department of Defense´s (DoD) core transformational programs. The Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) JTRS manages the acquisition of this critical new capability. The mission of the JPEO JTRS is to develop and produce a family of interoperable, affordable software defined radios at moderate risk which provide secure, wireless networking communications capabilities for Joint forces. This paper will explain recent changes to the JTRS program and its new approach to delivering wireless networking capabilities to the warfighter.
