A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Joint Program Office (JPO) for Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) Terminals supports the Joint Services and the Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The
IBS transmits worldwide time-sensitive tactical and strategic intelligence and targeting data to all echelons of Joint Service operational users. The JPO is responsible for
coordinating modernization and sustainment of IBS terminals compatible with the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) SATCOM IBS broadcasts. The JPO is pursuing a next
generation non-developmental item to replace the existing Joint Tactical Terminals (JTT). The transmit/receive-capable JTT systems currently consist of the JTT-Senior
and JTT-IBS configurations, and they satisfy the radio communication Key Performance Parameters for the IBS Program. The JTT is the official IBS producer system,
and ensures continued IBS interoperability to a variety of tactical producers/consumers across the Joint Services.
