1 Scope This specification establishes system requirements for the Next Generation Troposcatter (NGT) System.

1.1 Overview

Program Manager Communications Systems will replace the existing AN/TRC-170A V3/V5. The legacy equipment currently fielded will be replaced with modernized Commercial Off-the-Shelf products that provide a more flexible, scalable and maneuverable terrestrial Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capability.

This transit case-based system, transportable by a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) and internally transportable in the MV-22, CH-53 and C-130, will reduce size, weight, and power, increase performance, and conforms to IPV4 and IPV6 based architecture currently employed by the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

The NGT system will enhance the Marine Air-Ground Task Force’s expeditionary communications capabilities.

The NGT capability is envisioned to be a modern replacement to the legacy AN/TRC-170A intended to meet both current and future challenges as identified in current requirements documents. Compatibility with the legacy AN/TRC-170A is not required. The NGT capability must support decentralized operations in a contested environment and support expeditionary operations. The USMC recognizes congestion in the current primary spectrum used by legacy Troposcatter systems and requires an alternate band that provides spectrum agility for assured communications. This specification identifies the USMC functional and performance requirements for the NGT system.

1.2 System Description

The NGT system is a light weight transportable BLOS communication system capable of extending networked node Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over Radio Frequency (RF) using Troposcatter technology with data rates up to 50 Megabytes per second (Mbps) and ranges up to 160 statute miles. The system is transportable by USMC organic assets and commercial transportation. The NGT system is transit case-based and transportable by a single HMMWV. The NGT system provides a high bandwidth with reliable low latency communications for networked services. The NGT system interfaces with the Marine Corps Combat Data Network via Mixed Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (MFOCA), Ethernet, and Ethernet IP interfaces.

1.3 System Configurations and States.

Configurations

This specification provides requirements for an NGT system that can be configured for employment using C-Band or X-Band. Simultaneous C-Band and X-Band transmission is not required. A reduced form factor configuration that encompasses both bands is desired for transport purposes.

States The NGT system has two states, transport and operation. For further definition of the two states, see paragraph 6.2 of this document.

Reliability

The system will be tested using an operational mission profile, with multiple systems simultaneously, over a pre-determined period. System failures will be recorded and compared to the overall operational time and the number of tests units used to determine the mean time between failures.

Maintainability The MTTR will be calculated by dividing the total time of repair by the number of repairs completed on the system. The time of repair begins once the faulty LRU has been identified, a replacement is on hand, and ends when the system is operational again.
