The Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) is the official IBS system and ensures continued IBS interoperability to a variety of tactical producers and consumers across the Joint Services. The IBS transmits worldwide time-sensitive tactical and strategic intelligence and targeting data to all echelons of Joint Service operational users. The transmit/receive-capable JTT systems currently consist of the JTT Next Generation (JTT-NG), JTT-Senior and JTT-IBS configurations. The JPO is executing updates to the JTT terminal to incorporate updated waveforms and capabilities based on modernization requirements. FY 2027 RDTE Dollars in the amount of $6.870M support the continuation of Vendor terminal software development and porting, vendor testing and evaluation, independent testing, integration, and certification in support of IBS modernization efforts.
