EMC2 Benefits to the Warfighter • This project provided enhanced Enroute Mission Command for the 18th Airborne Corps Global Response Force Mission. • Results include increasing bandwidth to the aircraft from 256k to 5Mb (Ku) and up to 25Mb (Ka). • The hatch installation of antennas designed for the MC-130 and KC-130J air platforms brings high capacity bandwidth into the aircraft. • EMC2 extended the network to the adjoining aircraft by setting up a adaptive networking wideband waveform (ANW2) between dependent nodes on the surrounding aircraft (CV-22 and/or Lift, ISR or Fires aircraft). • ANW2 network provides approx. 1.2 MB of bandwidth between aircraft. UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

EMC2 Facts • The Commander and his staff now have increased bandwidth and services along with chat, voice, COP, ISR Full Motion Video (to include High definition), and access to SIPR portal and Webmail. • This capability was provided to the XVIII Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne Division in June 1014 as well as to the SPMAGTF- CR-AF in Nov 2014 and SPMAGTF- CRCC in May 2015. • Commanders as well as the assigned troops have the most current SA on their objective area prior to departing the aircraft.

• EMC2 has been integrated into existing U.S. Army Program of Record by PM WIN-T and USMC by Networking on the Move (NOTM). UNCLASSIFIED

Tactical Radio eXtension (TRAX) Benefits to the Warfighter

UNCLASSIFIED

• TRAX, developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation, facilitates a true integrated air and ground Common Operational Picture (COP) – Receives multiple data formats transmitted from the primary warfighting wave forms (Link-16, SADL, VMF, ANW2, MANET) – Then appropriately & immediately forwards that data into the desired waveform protocols (e.g. Link-16, SADL, VMF, ANW2, MANET) and other COP formats.

• A COP that displays TRAX data provides accurate, timely Precise Participant Location and Information (PPLI) concurrently to the Tactical Operations Center, air platforms, and troops (US and Coalition) on the ground • TRAX is a Special Operations Forces (SOF) proven software application that is being migrated to the General Purpose Forces with assistance from the Joint Staff J6 JTIB. • Successfully deployed in OEF since Dec 2012 without failure

UNCLASSIFIED

• Acts as host for Platform-J Link16 radios, allowing users to join the network • Acts as host for SADL radios allowing users to either join (air-air, join gateway), or establish a SADL network (gateway master) • Using TRAX, routes data from one datalink to another in accordance with MILSTDs, effectively combining them • Enables the routing of unicast and multicast CoT data through a built-in router • Forwards SA Mode data from SA enabled radios into all other networks (Link-16, SADL, MANET, VMF(future), etc. Has a built-in easily transferable database for track number/callsign assignment of SA Mode participants.

• Forwards non-Link/SADL participants (UAVs, BFT, Combat Track 2) into the net by forwarding their CoT information from SIPR net to respective links. • Enables the reception and transmission of J-Messages via IP with a JREAP-C connection. SADL Radio
