MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
• The Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint
Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) terminal transforms
MIDS into a 4-channel JTRS radio while maintaining:
– 4 Channel JTRS compliant radio
– 1 Channel for Link 16/J-Voice, plus TACAN
– 3 Programmable Channels
– “Form, Fit, Function” with MIDS-LVT
– Limited changes to platform/host required
– Link-16 Frequency Remap, Enhanced Throughput and
Information Assurance (Crypto Modernization)
Modification Ready
The realization of Network Centric Operations Warfare is critical to providing decision
superiority to our forces.

MIDS JTRS and Link 16 CMN-4
•
CMN-4 is a Link 16 enhancement to MIDS JTRS
– Allows Link 16 reception from any combination of 4 nets or participants
simultaneously
– Form/fit/function replacement for MIDS-LVT or MIDS JTRS Core terminal
– CMN-4 allows for more efficient use of the Link-16 Network and additional
network designs for additional participants
•
Uses the Four Receiver/Synthesizers to receive the 1st-4th transmissions –
Concurrent Contention Receive (CCR)
•
Link 16 CMN-4 Funded and in development for MIDS JTRS
Concurrent Multi-Netting (CMN)
Capability to receive on multiple net
numbers (nets) simultaneously
Concurrent Contention Receive (CCR)
Capability to receive multiple transmissions
in a single timeslot simultaneously
MIDS JTRS CMN-4 provides for more efficient Link 16 network

Slide 9
MIDS on Hawkeye
Goal: MIDS LVT that acts like a JTIDS Class 2
• (Same) JTIDS Class 2 High Power Amplifier
– No issues
• (Change) JTIDS Class 2 Data Processor Group and
Receiver/Transmitter
– Obsolete, unable to produce, waning ability to
support
• (Insert) MIDS LVT
– Currently in production, fully supported
• (New) Interface Adapter Weapons Replaceable
Assembly
– Allows MIDS LVT to appear as a JTIDS Class 2
– No platform host hardware or software changes
necessary
– Cryptographic key fill method would change
• Looks like a MIDS LVT, performs like a JTIDS Class 2

MIDS on Hawkeye – Changes
• Interface Module
– Converts MIDS LVT Host Interface to JTIDS
Class 2
• TACAN
• Voice
• Control Discretes
• Suppression / Indicator Signals
• JTIDS HPA Interface
• Converts between MIDS LVT and JTIDS Class 2
host interface messages

TacNet Tactical Radio (TTR)
• Smallest size
– Addresses size & weight
constrained platforms
– Saves space for additional
mission critical equipment
• Maximum range
– Achieves over 200 NM
• Only SFF Link 16 solution
to meet greater than
200 NM range requirement without weight penalty of external PA
– Switchable between Air-Air and Air-Ground communications
• Lowest integration cost
–
–
–
–
Flexible integration with no need for forced air cooling
Meets Time Slot Duty Factor (TSDF) requirements
Mounts in any location and orientation
Supports current and future host platform interfaces
• In production today
