Gap 1 - Lack of protected networked line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) voice and data
communications for command and control (C2)
Gap 2 - Current tactical radios do not adequately provide continuous levels of situational awareness (SA)
required of future conflicts
Gap 3 - Geographically separated Warfighters don’t have the ability to pass critical battle command information
to the appropriate echelons of command while operating in various tactical environments

support company and below formations down to soldier. This tier is
characterized by primarily single channel radios operating at both the
unclassified and secret level along with two channel radios at platoon
and company to ensure multi-network integration and connectivity.
The primary lower tier waveforms are the Soldier Radio Waveform
(SRW) and SINCGARS. There is the potential that other lower tier
waveforms could be added and/or combined as the ITNE evolves over
time. SATCOM: Demand Assigned Multiple Access/Integrated

ITNE Mid Tier Systems
Definition: The mid tier portion of the ITNE is composed of organic
network resources from each ITNE functional component designed to
support battalion and company level operations. The mid tier is the
critical high capacity backbone of the radio environment. It provides the
battalion and company commander with the means to process voice
and larger amounts of data across their tactical formation over a
terrestrial based network.
The mid tier is the interoperability point for higher echelons, Joint
integration, aviation integration, and multinational interoperability. The
primary mid tier waveform is the Wideband Networking Waveform
(WNW).

– Bridging SRW Nets: Connect

– Extending Mission Command:

that need more than SRW but do
not have WIN-T (e.g., SWAP

ITNE NetOps Systems
Description: The Joint Tactical-Networking-Environment (TNE)
NetOps Toolkit (J-TNT) is a NetOps Tool that combines JENM,
JACS/ACES and RBSAM using VMWare to create a single
tactical network management tool to plan, configure, monitor,
and manage the SRW, ANW2, WNW, MUOS and future
networking waveforms and current tactical radios.
Capabilities
 Plans, configures, monitors, and manages waveforms:
SRW, Mid-Tier, SATCOM, and future networking
waveforms to the tactical edge.
Supports the loading of legacy waveforms.
Configures tactical radios: Rifleman Radio, Harris
AN/PRC-117G, ITT SideHat/Soldier Radio; MBITR, and
other SRW applications.
Multiple instances of J-TNT can be distributed across
the battle space with differing roles according to the
position within the operational hierarchy.
Provides ongoing operations support for fault,
configuration, asset, and performance management.
Fielded Currently
 Fielded to the 75th Ranger Regt, 2/1AD and the 173d
ABCT.
Currently being used by the 2/75 Ranger Bn in
Afghanistan.

• ITNE provides greater voice and data capacity and range extension
over earlier Capability Set fieldings
• ITNE provides a self healing and self forming Mobile Ad Hoc
Network (MANET)

Challenges
• Migration from a legacy radio environment to a fully integrated
computing environment (Training & Manpower)
• No personnel growth to manage the 200% increase in materiel
