  2. TGGRS Overview

  3. What is TGGRS? TGGRS is a situational awareness (SA) radio suite that is able to communicate through various data links while still maintaining a light and lean quality for deployment. TGGRS includes line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) radios controlled by a single laptop loaded with an array of software to control the radios and pass data to any network it’s connected to. Full TGGRS functionality enables the deployed operator to transmit/receive SOF and CAF air/ground locations, sensor points of interest, chat, and video into any connected C2 network that needs SA to reduce fratricide and shorten the kill chain.

  4. Why TGGRS • Current operations lack a persistent RF gateway • TGGRS will enhance M2M targeting and increase • battlefield SA • TGGRS is flexible enough to meet most AFSOF • ground and air missions • TGGRS utilizes existing AFSOF assets and requires • minimal user training • TGGRS is tested and ready to support combat • operations NOW

  5. TGGRS Employment TGGRS Disadvantaged / Geographically Separated Users ANW2 SADL UHF SATCOM SADL – LOS SA data ANW2 – LOS CoT SA, streaming video, chat and composite SA from SADL and UHF SATCOM network UHF SATCOM - BLOS composite CoT SA from SADL & ANW2 networks using IPoL Dismounted Operator

  6. TGGRS - Architecture SIPRNET Dell XFR 6400 Ethernet IPoL CoT Router Jockey Ethernet/Fiber NOTE: Dismounted operator and aircraft architectures do not connect directly to SIPRNET CISCO Switch RDA Cable (USB Sync / Serial) Ethernet Ethernet AN/PRC-117G UHF SATCOM AN/PRC-117G ANW2 SADL

  7. TGGRS – Radio Hardware • SADL Radio • Provides LOS Data link and Networking Capability • Formation Station Keeping • Position and Sensor Point of Interest (SPI) • Access to SADL and EPLRS Networks • Limited Link-16 Interoperability • AN/PRC-117G Radio #1 – ANW2 • Provides LOS Networking Capability • IP Networking for Streaming Video, Chat, and Composite SA Data • AN/PRC-117G Radio #2 – UHF SATCOM • Provides BLOS Data Transfer Exploiting IPoL • Composite Data to/from Geographically Separated/Disadvantaged Users • Provide Position Data via SA Mode • Messaging via HPW and PDA-184 (RF Email)

  8. TGGRS – Misc Hardware • CISCO ASA 5505 Switch • 8 Ethernet ports – extra ports for scalability • EAL-4 certified • NAT capable • Dell XFR6400 Laptop • Mil Spec – fully rugged • Intel Core 2 Processor • Able to process multiple apps and video streams • Loaded with SAMS – TGGRS build

  9. TGGRS – Software Applications • Applications are part of the SAMS C2 baseline • SADL Radio • Jockey is the application used to set-up and • control the SADL radio – uses CoT schema • AN/PRC-117G Radio #1 – ANW2 • Services Too is the application used to set-up and configure ports • and identify IP addresses for various services (Streaming Video, • Chat, and Composite SA Data) • AN/PRC-117G Radio #2 – UHF SATCOM • HPW and PDA-184 for messaging (RF email) • IPoL provides connection for legacy CoT applications • Message Router for routing of CoT to SIPRNet • BareBack/GetNineLine for targeting

  11. TGGRS Antenna Layout Antennas connect to RF patch panel on rear of the TGGRS case using low loss LMR-400 cable. HP 5250/VRC ANW2 4310A UHF LOS AS-3449 SADL Antenna Boom GPS ABP-ANT-11 High Gain SATCOM Shakespeare 477-900 30ft Mast

  12. TGGRS Bottom Line • Immediate fix for current shortfall • Enables increased SA and M2M targeting • Field tested and validated during ST Exercise at Nellis • Used as RF gateway for M2M targeting and SA data • Rapidly deployable and flexible solution • Used for C2 nodes and disadvantaged users • Interfaces with all AFSOF radio network • Connect to SIPR/NIPR and closed networks TGGRS DEPLOYING TO SUPPORT COMBAT OPS IN AUGUST
