JPEO JTRS and SDR Forum Team to Shape Future of SDRs for Military Forces

		Press Release

The Joint Program Executive Office for the Joint Tactical Radio System (JPEO JTRS), based in San Diego, Calif., and the Software Defined Radio Forum (SDR Forum), based in Phoenix, Ariz., have signed a formal agreement to collaborate and share information. This teaming will allow commercial industry participants to have greater visibility into Department of Defense (DoD) requirements, processes, and science and technology needs for JTRS programs. In addition, the agreement provides a vehicle for forming partnerships among JPEO JTRS and SDRF members to explore new technologies and processes currently at the forefront of the commercial wireless communications industry.

The vision for the agreement was formed after JPEO JTRS sponsored the first JTRS Science and Technology Forum (JSTeF) in February 2008 to an audience of government, industry and academia representatives. At this inaugural forum held on the campus of the University of California, San Diego at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology facility, small technology firms, funded by the Small Business Innovative Research under JPEO JTRS sponsorship, presented innovative ideas and capabilities to major defense firms currently engaged in the DoD’s wireless tactical radio programs.
