THE BEST PATH. ” T


he JTRS Handheld, Man- pack, Small Form Fit (HMS) program’s Manpack element is undergoing its limited user


test, to include JTRS Network Enterprise Domain’s (NED’s) Soldier Radio Wave- form (SRW) during the exercise. JTRS’ HMS Rifleman Radio, Ground Mobile Radio, and NED waveforms are all vital components of the integrated testing conducted during the NIE.


The testing is designed to demonstrate how various systems, both programs of record and non-programs of record, fit into the Army’s tactical network and con- nect Soldiers at all levels. The JTRS NED SRW and Wideband Networking Wave- form (WNW) provide the backbone of terrestrial connectivity for many of the systems being used during the final two weeks of the integration exercise. While SRW is targeted for the individual Sol- dier and individual small units, WNW

provides the backbone network connec- tivity between ground and air vehicles.


DIVERSE MISSIONS AND TERRAIN These waveforms are operating under diverse mission scenarios that require mobile ad hoc connectivity over variable desert and mountainous terrain.


“SRW and WNW work very well in pro- viding connectivity for dispersed forces,” said Navy CAPT Jeffrey Hoyle, JTRS NED Program Manager. “Both WNW and SRW are designed to be mobile ad hoc in nature, in that they don’t require a lot of preplanning for nodes to join and leave the network.”


NIE will demonstrate the ability of WNW and SRW to move voice, video, data, and images faster, farther, and more efficiently than legacy waveforms across the battle- field through ad hoc mobile networking.
