Lockheed Martin AMF JTRS Team Successfully Demonstrates New Communications and Tactical Sharing

摘要

A Lockheed Martin team recently demonstrated how software-defined radios can extend the Army's tactical network by connecting disparate ground troops with the Airborne and Maritime/Fixed Station Joint Tactical Radio System (AMF JTRS). During a recent Army exercise, AMF JTRS demonstrated the system s range and capability by successfully relaying a combination of voice, data and imagery from a test bed AH-64 Block III Apache helicopter to ground forces over the Internet-Protocol enabled Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW). AMF JTRS is a software defined radio that is capable of providing Internet-like connectivity with a secure infrastructure for joint forces to send data, imagery, voice and video. "The recent aerial demonstration of the JTRS capability in an Apache helicopter represents a significant step forward in maturing the tactical network and providing a significant force multiplier for our warfighters," said Colonel Raymond Jones, Assistant Joint Program Executive Officer, JTRS.
