AF JRE Perspective
JRE meets BLOS requirements Decreases forward footprint for AOC Bomber needs for situational awareness enroute Lessen need for airborne relays
JRE is considered a function not a box JRE function on multiple platforms for:
Theater-wide exchanges Mission-specific exchanges Reachback/BLOS exchanges
Service and joint agreement on data forwarding rules and protocols required – Done!

AF JRE - Today
JRE/TMPG Equipment Package (JTEP) Fielding JRE Standalone Gateway at each CRC/CRE
Currently on 10 systems funded
Use legacy protocols along with MIL-STD-3011 AOC JRE
Standalone gateway with ADSI provides situational awareness/reachback
Fielded through TST Comm Suite (ACEP) program Utilize legacy protocols along with MIL-STD-3011
B-2 fielding non-integrated JRE capability (CY03) Procuring 20 systems
Roll-on/off Beyond Line of Sight Enhancement (ROBE) (CY03) 40 KC-135 being modified to accept pallet 20 pallets procured

JRE Near-Term (05-06) Architecture
Integrate JRE function into Battle Control System (CRC modernization) JREAP Appendices A, B, & C Scalable Unit Type Codes to provide gap filler (if
necessary) Integrate JRE function into Tactical Air Control Party
Currently planned for Spiral 2 – FY06 Receive-only (perhaps) JREAP Appendices A, B, & C
Field additional ROBE pallets – 60 total Possible use on disadvantaged platforms

JRE Long-Term Vision
All Bombers (B-1, B-2, B-52) integrate JRE function UHF initially with upgrade to EHF
All USAF C2 platforms possess BLOS TDL capability JRE function in CLIP/Objective Gateway JRE function in SMART Tanker
Multi-Mission Payload program? Follow-on for ROBE
JRE function in JICO Support System (JSS)

Conclusion
USAF plans to make Link 16 data available with or without a JTIDS/MIDS terminal
JRE is a functionality to bed integrated into host system – not a standalone box
Near-term needs call for ground and airborne standalone systems
