Josh Rogin writes on FCW.com:
The Army’s Future Combat Systems program has received a new batch of computer-like radios. The six radios, delivered May 30, are part of the Joint Tactical Radio System Ground Mobile Radio (JTRS GMR) program.More here.
JTRS is a principal part of the Defense Department’s transformation agenda. It seeks to replace 750,000 existing radios with 180,000 software-programmable tactical radios that will provide soldiers a host of audio and visual communications and networking options.
The radios will transmit and receive real-time voice and text information. They will be able to stream live video and audio, share maps, conduct networked meetings and use voice-over-IP capabilities, according to Boeing.
The new devices will bring the total of radios delivered to FCS to 27, with more deliveries expected this year.
