NA PM, Joint Tactical Terminal, is conducting a Market Survey to identify companies to provide a Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) capable of receiving on 8 to 12 separate receive channels and transmitting on up to 4 separate transmit channels, a JTT Briefcase Ve rsion (JTT-B) configuration, along with support for Host Integration services/Field Upgrade Support and Out of Warranty repair services. The JTT is a special application Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Satellite Communication (SATCOM) and Line of Sight (LOS) se cure Intelligence Dissemination terminal to be deployed with tactical units. The terminals are dedicated to deliver critical, time sensitive battlefield targeting information to tactical commanders and intelligence nodes from all military services, in near real time, at system high security levels. The JTT is interoperable with the Tactical Reconnaissance Intelligence eXchange Sytem (TRIXS), aka IBS LOS, Tactical Information Broadcast Service (TIBS), aka IBS Interactive, Tactical and Related Applications (T RAP) Data Dissemination System (TDDS), aka IBS Simplex, Tactical Data Information eXchange Subsystem B (TADIXS-B), and UHF General Purpose Link networks (DAMA, TADIL-A, SIDS, and CPM). Raytheon Network Centric Systems of St. Petersburg, FL is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the JTT and JTT Briefcase Version (JTT-B) and is currently on contract with the Government to deliver a substantial quantity of Low Rate Initial Production JTTs as well as Host System Integration/Field Upgrade Support and Ou t of Warranty repair services.
