### Project RH5 — 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.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

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.

The Acquisition Strategy for the Trojan NexGEN Systems supported by Trojan RDT&E is to adapt and leverage from Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and Government Off the Shelf (GOTS) products. Additionally, the Acquisition Strategy leverages off of development by DoW and other Government agencies to the greatest extent possible. Trojan RDT&E is used to fund the development of enhancing these technologies to meet specific user requirements.
