A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This project supports development of critical improvements to the Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) program. JTAGS was designed as a quick response non-developmental item (NDI) acquisition to satisfy critical in-theater deficiencies in Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) warning and cueing. JTAGS is designated the in-theater element of the United States Space Command’s (USSPACECOM) Theater Event System (TES). The objectives of the JTAGS critical improvements program are to keep pace with modernization of the Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites into the evolving Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), to retain timely dissemination of TBM launch data through sensor technology advances and to increase the accuracy and timeliness of TBM warning and cueing. This project supports development of upgrades to current production modifications and is appropriately funded in Budget Activity 7.

Acquisition Strategy: Critical JTAGS improvements under this project will be developed making maximum use of NDI elements. After selection and assembly, the modification design will be subjected to thorough integration and performance testing to assure suitability for procurement. Once approved for procurement, an upgrade package will be procured for each of the 5 tactical units. Application of the upgrades will be accomplished at each of the JTAGS operational sites.
