Operational Demo Showcases Maturity and Advanced Capabilities of AMF JTRS
MANASSAS: Lockheed Martin has successfully completed a live fly demonstration of the Airborne, Maritime and Fixed Station (AMF) component of the military’s Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) program. The demonstration featured airborne, ground-based and simulated maritime units collaborating in real time across an integrated airborne IP network to rapidly find, identify and strike a time-sensitive target.

Lockheed Martin’s AMF JTRS team funded and executed the demonstration as a risk reduction effort to evaluate and improve the technical maturity of the team’s solution. The demonstration follows a successful Preliminary Design Review, held in August, which showcased numerous components of the team’s AMF JTRS solution. The latest demonstration brought those components together in a live fly exercise, proving that the team’s solution is capable of creating an airborne IP network that can link aircraft, ships and ground units in real time. The demo also validated the Lockheed Martin team’s approach to integrating AMF JTRS radios into current Air Force and Navy platforms. The Lockheed Martin team includes BAE SYSTEMS, General Dynamics, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.
