Appendix A – System Performance Specification

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1 Scope Per DoDM 4120.24 Defense Standardization Program (DSP) Procedures and MIL-STD-961E Change 2 Section 4, this specification establishes system requirements for the Troposcatter System hereafter referenced as “system”.

1.1 Overview

Project Manager TN and Product Manager Network Modernization will replace the existing AN/TRC-170A V3/V5. The legacy equipment currently fielded will be replaced with modernized Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) 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 internally transportable in the MV-22, CH-53 and C-130, will reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP), increase performance, and adjust to the IP/Ethernet based architecture currently employed by both services.

The TN network is transitioning from the traditional wide area network mission of primarily supporting Mission Command communications to that of transporting all battlefield data for all Warfighting Functions (WfF). The incorporation of these new capabilities into the expeditionary network will enhance the Warfighting commander's ability to conduct Unified Land Operations and further converge the Army's expeditionary network. The system will provide secure digital trunking between major nodes of ESBs communications networks.

The next generation Troposcatter capability is envisioned to be a modern replacement to the legacy AN/TRC-170A Family of Systems. Further, the follow-on capability must be enduring to meet both current and future challenges identified in Army Transmission CPD. The next generation Troposcatter capability must support decentralized operations in a contested environment and support an expeditionary mindset. The US Army’s requirements were adopted by the Marine Corps are in line with expectations for a future Troposcatter capability. The adopted requirement however is US Army specific in areas that integrate the Force, specifically in the areas of interfacing the Marine Corps tactical network and Marine Corps transportability. Additionally, the Marine Corps 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 Marine Corps functional and performance requirements for the next generation Troposcatter system. Further this specification integrates the next generation Troposcatter capability with the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and requires a frequency agile capability to meet challenges in a spectrum congested environment.

The replacement system will be operational in three different modes: (1) Line-of-Sight (LOS) mode, when both terminals are visible to each other and there are only minor obstructions in the pathway; (2) BLOS Diffraction mode, when the terminals are not visible to each other and dominant propagation mode is diffraction; (3) BLOS Troposcatter mode when dominant propagation mode is tropospheric scattering.

Troposcatter mode propagation results in significant RF channel fading, therefore diversity reception is typically used to overcome the fading impacts. Various types of diversity can be used as well as different orders of diversity, although typically dual or quad diversities are utilized. The modernized system will support a modular configuration where diversity can be scaled up for difficult links to meet mission requirements.

1.2 System Description

The next generation Troposcatter system is a light weight transportable BLOS communication system capable of extending networked node Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over Radio Frequencies (RF) using Troposcatter technology at data rates as high as 50 Mbps and ranges up to 185 kilometers. The system is transportable by both United States Army and United States Marine Corps using internal and commercial transportation method. The Troposcatter system is transit case based and transportable by a single High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle providing an expeditionary advantage over the current fielded AN/TRC-170 family of Troposcatter systems. System deployment resources and associated setup time are dramatically reduced due to the reduction in size, weight, and power. The Troposcatter system provides a reliable low latency alternative to Satellite Communications (SATCOM) for continued networked services in a SATCOM denied environment.

1.3 System Configurations, States, and Modes

1.3.1 Configurations

The configuration shall leverage modular common components to facilitate operations and reduce overall foot print. The intent of the configuration is to provide a single consolidated spectrum agile reduced form factor configuration for transport purposes.

1.3.2 States

The Troposcatter system has two states, transport and operation. The transport state is defined as all system components packaged and enclosed in weatherproof transit cases either ready for transport by a transport medium (i.e. ground vehicle, air lift, sea, etc), in transport by a transport medium, or in storage. The transport state is the primary state of the system when it is not in use. The operational state is defined as system components configured for communications with self- alignment complete. The operational state includes when the system is actively transmitting, set up for transmission in a reserve or staged status, set up with or without external power and baseband interface connections in place.

1.3.3 Modes

The operational states have three operational modes: 1). Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Troposcatter, 2). Line of Sight (LOS), and 3). Obstacle gain Diffraction (OGD).
