2. TGGRS Overview

3. 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-of-sight (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.

4. 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

SADL 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 )
IPoL provides connection for legacy CoT applications
Message Router for routing of CoT to SIPRNet
BareBack/GetNineLine for targeting
