Director of Acquisition: 

Director of Acquisition Serve as advisor to JPEO JTRS on all matters related to acquisition policy, process and procedures Provide acquisition guidance to program managers and staff Serve as single point of contact to JTRS Stakeholders on acquisition matters Recommend acquisition policies and articulate the JPEO’s position on DoD acquisition policy reforms

Overview: 

Overview What is the Joint Tactical Radio System Progress achieved to date Current program direction

What is JTRS?: 

What is JTRS? Family of interoperable, digital, modular, software-definable radios (SDR) that operate as nodes in a network to ensure secure wireless communications and networking services for mobile and fixed forces. JTRS products envisioned to receive, transmit, route and relay voice, data and video JTRS program was initially established based on the need to: Replace legacy radios Address key shortfalls in battlefield communications capabilities Bring separate Service-led radio programs together into a joint development effort Program rationale/requirements also included over time the need to: Enable mobile wireless ad hoc networking Enable information superiority through network centric warfare and communications interoperability across the service components and Allied forces Ability to port and reuse software on a variety of hardware configurations – Reduce life cycle cost

What is JTRS? Warfighter Desired Capabilities The JTRS Challenge: Get more capability into a smaller box

What is JTRS?An Analogy: 

What is JTRS? An Analogy A typewriter is to a computer as a radio is to a Software Definable Radio (SDR) Multi-band, Multi-mode, Secure, Non-secure (Voice, Video & Data) Operate 2MHz and above Dynamic Bandwidth Management Retransmit/Cross Band Between Frequency Bands and Waveforms Software Reprogrammable Network Between & Across Geographical & Organizational Boundaries Backwards Compatible With Legacy Systems Independent HW & SW Word processing Grammar checker Spell Checker Easy Correcting Spreadsheets Graphics Database Internet Games Etc… Single Function Single Functions Multi Function Multi Function Capabilities Capabilities

Progress Achieved to Date: 

Progress Achieved to Date USD(AT&L) Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM), 4 February 2005 Established Joint PEO to manage JTRS program and realigned all existing JTRS programs and budgets under the new JPEO Directed an assessment of all JTRS programs to examine cost, schedule and technical risks Major assessment findings: Program initiated as a legacy radio replacement, but evolved into a network centric radio program without re-baselining program impacts Requirements significantly changed and never stabilized Complexity of information assurance (IA) problems not anticipated Programs executing at high technical, schedule and cost risk

Progress Achieved to Date July-November 2005 JTRS Mini-DABs: 

Progress Achieved to Date July-November 2005 JTRS Mini-DABs 28 July: Presented Initial Replan based on full ORD 3.2 set of requirements DAB directed JPEO to characterize potential trade space areas to potentially reduce/prioritize requirements where possible 17 August JTRS capability attributes & trade space direction requested DAB directed JCS/JPEO to develop capability option development (report out in November) based on capability attributes and trade space direction 11 October Presented JCS/Service “threshold” capabilities matrix (increment 1) Developed as part of the JCS/Service Requirements Working Group 7 program excursions with preliminary ROMs reduced to 3 options by JCS/JPEO 22 November JPEO presented increased fidelity with respect to Options 1-3 (cost/schedule/risk) JPEO provided overarching JTRS acquisition approach/principles

Current Program Direction: 

USD (AT&L) Acquisition Decision Memorandum, 31 March 2006 Develop Networking Capability Wideband Networking Waveform (Future Combat System) Soldier Radio Waveform (extending network the last tactical mile) Joint Airborne Network-Tactical Edge (airborne networking for fast movers) Develop Gateway, Network Management Solutions, and Architecture Enables JTRS connectivity to the Global Information Grid (GIG) Create an effective management structure Current Program Direction

Current Program DirectionStrategic Goals: 

Current Program Direction Strategic Goals Assess the status of the total program Develop and gain approval for realistic requirements and budget going forward Implement an acquisition strategy to achieve the requirements within the budget Create an enduring Joint organization that balances Service equities with DoD enterprise needs Effective JTRS governance structure Single point of responsibility (JPEO JTRS) Direct report to USD AT&L (not to a Service SAE)

Progress Achieved to Date Acquisition Approach: 

Institute an Enterprise approach to developing and acquiring JTRS capabilities Enterprise approach to JTRS systems engineering Drive collaboration across other JTRS communities of interest Assure POM submissions and execution years budgets are accurate and integrated Partner with the Joint Staff to stabilize requirements baseline Recognize budgets established several years ago cannot possibly satisfy evolving requirements Realign available funding to meet most important requirements Move from high to moderate risk programs Facilitate delivery of incremental capability Broaden industry involvement Incentivize industry to deliver capability Interim drops of Government Purpose Rights (GPR) software Competition for H/W Leverage commercial technologies where feasible Progress Achieved to Date Acquisition Approach
