Purpose

15 Aug 02
Provide overview of the USAF’s plan for
implementing Joint Range Extension functionality
Integrity - Service - Excellence

AF JRE Perspective

JRE meets BLOS requirements

Decreases forward footprint for AOC
 Bomber needs for situational awareness enroute
 Lessen need for airborne relays


JRE is considered a function not a box
JRE function on multiple platforms for:

Theater-wide exchanges
 Mission-specific exchanges
 Reachback/BLOS exchanges


Service and joint agreement on data forwarding
rules and protocols required – Done!

AF JRE - Today

JRE/TMPG Equipment Package (JTEP)
 Fielding JRE Standalone Gateway at each CRC/CRE

Currently on 10 systems funded
Use legacy protocols along with MIL-STD-3011
AOC JRE
 Standalone gateway with ADSI provides situational
awareness/reachback
 Fielded through TST Comm Suite (ACEP) program
 Utilize legacy protocols along with MIL-STD-3011
B-2 fielding non-integrated JRE capability (CY03)
 Procuring 20 systems
Roll-on/off Beyond Line of Sight Enhancement (ROBE) (CY03)
 40 KC-135 being modified to accept pallet
 20 pallets procured

JRE Near-Term (05-06)
Architecture

Integrate JRE function into Battle Control System
(CRC modernization)

JREAP Appendices A, B, & C
 Scalable Unit Type Codes to provide gap filler (if
necessary)

Integrate JRE function into Tactical Air Control Party
Currently planned for Spiral 2 – FY06
 Receive-only (perhaps)
 JREAP Appendices A, B, & C


Field additional ROBE pallets – 60 total

Possible use on disadvantaged platforms

AFSOC
 HH-60

JRE Long-Term Vision

All Bombers (B-1, B-2, B-52) integrate JRE function




UHF initially with upgrade to EHF
All USAF C2 platforms possess BLOS TDL capability
JRE function in CLIP/Objective Gateway
JRE function in SMART Tanker

Multi-Mission Payload program?

Conclusion

USAF plans to make Link 16 data available with or
without a JTIDS/MIDS terminal
 JRE is a functionality to bed integrated into host
system – not a standalone box
 Near-term needs call for ground and airborne
standalone systems
