Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2024. The PB2026 J-book detail below does carry an FY2026 row for this line, recorded as zero. A workbook blank and a documented zero are different records, and this page shows both. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

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.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $9.32M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $1.33M as actual total obligation authority — $7.99M below the request. 1.3 − 9.3 = -8.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.
Description
Mission — Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)
EF5 project: The Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM) / Joint Network Management Software for Radio Terminals provides a single, converged network management tool allowing the Warfighter to plan, configure, load, and manage the Joint Services' Tactical Radios and their networks in the field - a capability not available in legacy planning systems. Funding supports the full suite of Software defined radios across the services, enabling them to utilize Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) and other waveforms to include: Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), TrellisWare Scalable Manet (TSM), Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN), Warrior Robust Enhanced Network-Narrowband (WREN-NB), Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Integrated Waveform(IW), VHF-UHF Line Of Sight (VULOS), Second Generation Antijam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) waveform. The Network Management Software provides the Commander the ability to quickly reconfigure critical networks and enhances the S6's ability to conduct Course of Action (COA) Analysis and the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), providing commanders critical information regarding their ability to communicate. EX6 project: Waveforms provides the transport technologies and capabilities necessary to support the overall connectivity of the Unified Network. Waveforms technology assessments, integration, and configuration management enable seamless updates and fluid communication between echelons of the Unified Network. Waveforms delivers, maintains, and upgrades portable, interoperable, MANET waveforms, Advanced Networking Waveforms (ANWf), and network enterprise services in support of the Army's network modernization strategy. Waveforms capabilities will remain agile to accommodate emerging warfighter needs by addressing the following: (1) Waveform (WF) analysis and system engineering activities for DoD as Lead Service Activity for Ground/Line of Sight (LoS) Waveforms (currently TSM, WREN, and SINCGARS) in accordance with DoD Instruction 4630.09, Communications Waveform Management and Standardization, 23 November 2020. (2) Development and/or integration efforts of Broadcast Waveforms (i.e. SINCGARS, WREN, ANWf) and Radio Services (i.e. enterprise Over The Air Management (eOTAM)) in support of Army Network modernization, and agile mission support initiatives. (3) Viability assessments of ANWf in support of the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) and future capability sets to ensure waveform performance in advance of formal ITN experimentation and fielding activities. FY 2026 RDT&E dollars will fund the continued development, integration, and testing of new capabilities and waveform enhancements for SINCGARS, WREN, TSM, and ANWf. As well as fund the next generation Government developed waveforms and Radio Service applications, system and architectural engineering for ANWf radio communications technologies, post deployment software support for fielded versions of the waveforms and radio services, program management support, and examine modular and open system architectures (MOSA) to for future integration and waveform porting efficiencies. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.

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 Joint Tactical Network (JTN). 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? →
