Rockwell Collins bags contract for completion of the TTNT waveform development

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2013

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has awarded Rockwell Collins an $18-million contract to complete the development and qualification of the tactical targeting network technology (TTNT) waveform, paving the way for the highspeed, networking waveform to be implemented across a broad range of aircraft.

“TTNT will provide warfighters with a higher throughput, low latency networking capability to meet the demands of new and evolving mission requirements.” said Bob Haag, vice president and general manager of Communication and Navigation Products for Rockwell Collins. “TTNT will provide the Department of Defense with a unique networking capability that the warfighter does not have today.”

The contract modification extends the current contract value and scope for the completion of the TTNT waveform development effort. The TTNT waveform will be made available for the Joint Tactical Networking Center’s Information Repository.

TTNT provides high data rate, long-range communication links for airborne platforms. As a complement to existing tactical data link networks, TTNT adds significant airborne network capacity while providing rapid, low latency message delivery. The minimal network planning requirements of TTNT will enable participants to enter and exit the network without extensive preplanning.
