12 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2015–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $9.93M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $9.43M as actual total obligation authority — $500.0K below the request. 9.4 − 9.9 = -0.5 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

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.

The JPO is executing updates to JTT systems to incorporate Mobile User Objective System-Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (MUOS-WCDMA) based on modernization requirements. The IBS network uses Type-1 encryption, Common Interactive Broadcast (CIB), and Common Message Format (CMF). FY 2026 RDTE Dollars in the amount of $6.653 million will be used for the continuation of Vendor terminal software development and porting, vendor testing and evaluation, independent testing, integration, and certification by government and contracting agencies (JITC, NSA, Navy, DRS) in support of IBS modernization efforts.

Follow the dollar

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS). No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

Program dossier

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
