and Data Extension • Common operating picture for situational awareness • Warfighter ability to access/use mission command information during dismounted operations in restrictive terrain • Transport layer capable of providing timely information and services to commanders and leaders on-the-move/dismounted Network Enables: • Access and use of mission command information through the lower tier extension • LOS/BLOS transport using networking waveforms (i.e., SRW and WNW and MUOS) to extend battlefield access Extending the Network to the tactical edge is critical to the execution of Mission Command and the achievement of operational adaptability and strategic aims/objectives 2011-08-25 1100-1230 // WIN-T and the Joint Tactical Radios System (JTRS) Update Session: 6, Track: JTRS & WIN-T UNCLASSIFIED 7 UNCLASSIFIED Enabling The Squad as a Strategic Formation Why the squad is strategic… • The contemporary operating environment (COE) forces us to fight as dismounted squads. • The squad is the centerpiece of the tactical fight and will remain so in the future. • Squads operate under mission command but decentralized from higher HQ. Strategic and Enabled Through the Existing Network: Networking the Required Capabilities of a • Extends the network to the soldier Strategic Squad… • Links ground to ground and ground to air • Networking capability enhances Mobility, • Links Squad to Higher Echelons Protection, Lethality, Power Generation, Training • Squads have the same mobile comms, voice, & Leader Dev. text, data, SA capabilities 2011-08-25 1100-1230 // WIN-T and the Joint Tactical Radios System (JTRS) Update Session: 6, Track: JTRS & WIN-T UNCLASSIFIED 8 UNCLASSIFIED JTRS HMS Rifleman Radio Closes Capability Gaps IBCT/HBCT/SBCT Identified Capability Gaps: x • Gap 1: Lack of affordable protected intra-squad Command and Control (C2) voice communications • Gap 2: Lack of situational awareness of dismounted forces II • Gap 3: Ineffective intra-squad radio communications in CP complex terrain Voice: The JTRS Rifleman Radio (AN/PRC-154) All Platforms is designed specifically to provide individual CO soldiers within a squad secure multi-hop voice communications for fire and maneuver.

Materiel options will address, as a minimum, lethality, Situational Awareness, mobility, Soldier load, and power and energy enhancements.” – GEN Martin Dempsey, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army • “The HMS Rifleman radios performed in a remarkable fashion, allowing Soldiers within the platoon to exchange both voice and data information.” – Commander, 82nd Airborne Division, 03 Mar 11 • “Reliability, while not perfect, far exceeds operational requirements/expectations. A testing program that seeks to provide 100% reliability will be counter-productive if doing so delays the fielding of a system that, as tested, meets our requirements.” – Cdr, 82nd Airborne Division • “These systems offer the needed capabilities required from the brigade to the team level; lightweight, networked, advanced, wideband waveforms.” – 82nd Airborne Operational Needs Statement (ONS) • “Would you please steer me in the right direction for coordinating an earlier fielding
