(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) effort provides the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Theater Command and Control (C2) elements with a secure, jam-resistant, high capacity data link communications system for use in a tactical combat environment. JTIDS is the communications component of the Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) designated Link-16, and is synonymous with the TADIL J message standard. The JTIDS family of terminals (Class 2 and 2H for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps; and 2M for Army) is a joint development program which employs Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and spread spectrum techniques. JTIDS permits rapid and secure exchange of essential command control, and status information with all terminals in the tactical theater. Host platforms (i.e. E-3, E-8, F-15, RIVET JOINT, ABCCC, MAOC, and MCE) program and budget for JTIDS production terminals.
