TROJAN - RH12
Trojan research and development supports Trojan Next Generation (Trojan NexGEN), formerly Trojan Classic XXI (TCXXI), future capabilities to fulfill the Army's need for worldwide, deployable, remote, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support that can dynamically execute operations from sanctuary-based to deployed assets in theater. In support of Army Modernization and Army Force Generation, Trojan NexGEN will provide soldiers with a real-world, hands-on, live and near-real time Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) training environment sustaining, maintaining and enhancing their military occupational specialty proficiencies and specific target expertise while minimizing costs. This operational readiness training will fulfill the Army's larger intelligence training requirement via a secure, collaborative next generation network architecture. A key factor for future force success is the ability to collect, process, and use information about an adversary while preventing similar information from being disclosed. Trojan NexGEN is a combined operational and readiness mission system which uses advanced networking technology to provide seamless rapid radio relay, secure communications to include voice, data, and electronic reconnaissance support to U.S. forces throughout the world. Trojan NexGEN operations may be easily tailored to fit the Secretary of War and Chief of Staff priorities for military intelligence unit training and mission schedules and surged during specific events to involve every aspect of the tactical intelligence collection, processing, analysis and reporting systems. Engineers test and evaluate new digital intelligence collection, processing and dissemination technology using the fielded Trojan NexGEN systems prior to the acquisition of those technologies. These capabilities will enable processing and dissemination of real-time intelligence data from various sources to form the intelligence needed to issue orders inside the threat decision cycle. To that end, it is imperative that Trojan NexGEN keeps pace with digitization initiatives to respond aggressively to the emerging intelligence communication threat.
FY2027 planned work Will continuously adapt/improve the latest Direction Finding (DF) and geolocation technologies for integration into Trojan NexGEN systems in accordance with Joint Interface Control Document (JICD) 4.2., and JICD 4.2 ELINT (JEL). Will utilize field based risk reduction exercises to test and evaluate integrated technologies of the overall Trojan Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Enterprise. Will continue to research and test for the integration of Electronics Intelligence (ELINT) capabilities. Will resource labor for one MAT DEV technologist, two MAT DEV software engineers and two MAT DEV HW engineers accounted for in the Integrate Direction Finding (DF) and geolocation…
