Talk:Joint Tactical Radio System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a good article with a lot of information in it. I would like to recommend that all of the SCA details be moved to the Software Communications Architecture article (which doesn't appear to exist, yet). We should also improve the division of information between the SDR article and this article, as well as ensuring that there are links in both directions. I apologize that I'm just a Wikipedia newbie and therefore am a little cautious to just jump in and begin making modifications of this magnitude. Perhaps some of the more experienced wikipedians can help out with this. --StoaksSW 02:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs serious work or just a new label

This article really isnt so much about the joint tactical radio systems program as it is about software defined radios. Nowhere in the article do i encounter any informaion concerning the structure of the program, the 5 clusters and the reogrinization thereof, milestones completed or the teething problems th program had earlier on. I believe this article needs serious revamping or should simple be relabled to reflect the nature of its content.

I split out the SCA stuff into a separate article and added cluster info. It would help if you could point to info on program structure and reorg or add it yourself. --agr 12:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added criticism

It seems that many military project articles lack any discussion of criticism of the project - and that such criticism, when mentioned, is frequently removed by editors. Hopefully that won't be the case with my recent additions describing how this project is seriously overbudget and off schedule. The new project goals as of March 2006 significantly decrease the scope and "transformational" capability of the new radios. Much more in this vein could be added, however, and I encorage anyone with a decent reference to bring up the enormous cost of the radios, the security problems and the difficulty they will have interoperating with legacy radios once they're fielded.
