What is DTCS?

UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Only

DTCS Support

The FSR team has an intimate understanding of technical operation, logistical requirements, repair processes, and training needs, thus providing true turnkey support to the end user.

The DTCS program is backed by Field Service Representatives (FSRs) who provide the training, platform installation, field support, and net management to the Warfighter. They are the most direct and immediate source of feedback for system performance, operational expectation, and overall operational value.

Iridium Satellite Constellation

UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Only

PLI can be configured to transmit:

When the PTT is released At a set time interval At a set distance interval Can be turned off as required for covert operations Can be tracked through DTCS and Blue Force friendly software PLI transmissions are transparent to the end user Uses Commercial Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 encryption

UNCLASSIFIED

Position Location Information

Broadcast PLI data is transmitted to the satellite and immediately retransmitted locally to a properly configured collector radio. That radio is connected to a computer running the C2PC and Data Manager software.

Not sent through the DOD Gateway.

Allows local personnel to maintain awareness of blue force positions that are on the same net and located under the same spot beam.

Broadcast PLI

Global PLI data is transmitted to the DOD Gateway and then forwarded to the Mission Management Center (MMC). Upon reaching the MMC, it is made accessible for command and control purposes from anywhere in the world via the SIPRnet or other secured networks (CENTRIXS, etc.).

Mission Management Center (MMC)

DOD Gateway

Global PLI Global PLI is used when: PLI data needs to be seen in US C2 applications (CPOF, FBCB2); for coalition or OGA systems (IGeoSIT); when the device and the command are not located within the same spotbeam.

Nets and IMEIs must be set up to push PLI data through the MMC.

The TOC Kit connects the RO to a C2PC computer via a speaker box for the purpose of collecting and displaying PLI data.

Includes:

Speaker box H-250 handset Data cables to connect RO, speaker box, and C2PC computer N-type hockey puck antenna and 65’ antenna cable

UNCLASSIFIED

TOC Kit

UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use Only

For mounting the RO in a vehicle. The RO is connected to a remote antenna mounted on the exterior of the vehicle. Battery power in the RO is bypassed.

Includes:

TNC-type magnetic mount hockey puck antenna Flat mounting bracket 40’ Antenna cable 12 V Cigarette plug power adaptor Attenuator cable (for use with VICs)

Vehicle Kit

The Radio Only Mobile Awareness Platform (RO-MAP) utilizes the functionality of a ruggedized Windows-7 based PDA along with the beyond line-of-sight capability of the RO.

The RO-MAP is a single software application that delivers advanced situational awareness and C2 for the dismounted Warfighter including Company-and-below operations and expeditionary operations requiring a mobile TOC without SIPR access for Global PLI.

UNCLASSIFIED
