Description
Description — Joint Tactical Ground Stations
The Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) disseminates near real time warning, alerting, and cueing information on ballistic missile launches and other tactical events of interest throughout the theater using existing communication networks, providing critical support to Combatant Commanders in their Areas of Responsibility (AOR). JTAGS, first fielded in 1997, has four outside the contiguous United States (OCONUS) deployed JTAGS units, which are deployed in three theaters (Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), Central Command (CENTCOM), European Command (EUCOM)). A fifth contiguous United States (CONUS) system is used as an institutional trainer though is available as a deployable asset. Obsolescence issues coupled with the requirement to be compatible with the Air Force's newer satellites Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) and their improved warning accuracy and timeliness, resulted in the production/fielding of the JTAGS Block II Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) system. The JTAGS Approved Acquisition Objective (AAO) is five systems. Four OCONUS deployed JTAGS units, which are deployed in three theaters (United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), United States European Command (USEUCOM)), constitute Department of Defense (DoD's) in-theater system providing space-based missile warning. The fifth CONUS system is used as an institutional trainer but is available as a deployable asset. JTAGS is designated as the in-theater element of the United States Strategic Command's Theater Event System (TES), supporting all Theater Missile Defense pillars, affording the shortest sensor-to-shooter connectivity.
