TGGRS Overview

What is TGGRS?
TGGRS is a situational awareness (SA) radio suite that
is able to communicate through various data links while
still maintaining a light and lean quality for deployment.
TGGRS includes line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond line-ofsight (BLOS) radios controlled by a single laptop loaded
with an array of software to control the radios and pass
data to any network it’s connected to.
Full TGGRS functionality enables the deployed operator
to transmit/receive SOF and CAF air/ground locations,
sensor points of interest, chat, and video into any
connected C2 network that needs SA to reduce
fratricide and shorten the kill chain.

Why TGGRS
 Current operations lack a persistent RF gateway
 TGGRS will enhance M2M targeting and increase
battlefield SA
 TGGRS is flexible enough to meet most AFSOF
ground and air missions
 TGGRS utilizes existing AFSOF assets and requires
minimal user training
 TGGRS is tested and ready to support combat
operations NOW

TGGRS – Software Applications
 Applications
 SADL
are part of the SAMS C2 baseline
Radio
 Jockey is the application used to set-up and
control the SADL radio – uses CoT schema

AN/PRC-117G Radio #1 – ANW2
 Services Too is the application used to set-up and configure ports
and identify IP addresses for various services (Streaming Video,
Chat, and Composite SA Data)

AN/PRC-117G Radio #2 – UHF SATCOM




HPW and PDA-184 for messaging (RF email)
IPoL provides connection for legacy CoT applications
Message Router for routing of CoT to SIPRNet
BareBack/GetNineLine for targeting

TGGRS Bottom Line
 Immediate fix for current shortfall
 Enables increased SA and M2M targeting
 Field tested and validated during ST Exercise at Nellis
 Used as RF gateway for M2M targeting and SA data
 Rapidly deployable and flexible solution
 Used for C2 nodes and disadvantaged users
 Interfaces with all AFSOF radio network
 Connect to SIPR/NIPR and closed networks
