Description

Mission Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS)

The Joint Program Office (JPO) for Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) Terminals supports the Joint Services and the Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The JPO is responsible for coordinating modernization and sustainment of IBS terminals compatible with the UHF SATCOM IBS broadcasts in support of Air and Missile Defense, Long Range Precision Fires, Soldier Lethality, and Network Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Cross Functional Teams, and Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node. The IBS transmits worldwide time-sensitive tactical and strategic intelligence and targeting data to all echelons of Joint Service operational users. 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 transmit/receive-capable JTT systems currently consist of the JTT-Senior and JTT-IBS configurations. The JPO is executing updates to the JTT terminal to incorporate Mobile User Objective System (MUOS)-Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) elements based on modernization requirements.
