TROJAN - RH12

The TROJAN - RH12 program is focused on advancing the capabilities of the TROJAN Next Generation (TROJAN NexGEN) system, which is integral to the Army's intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations. This initiative aims to provide deployable and remote intelligence support that can be utilized worldwide. It enhances the Army's ability to execute operations both from secure locations and in active theaters. The program supports Army Modernization and Force Generation by offering soldiers a realistic training environment for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), thereby maintaining and improving their proficiency in military occupational specialties.

A significant goal of the TROJAN NexGEN system is to ensure seamless communication and intelligence processing capabilities. The system employs advanced networking technology to facilitate rapid radio relay and secure communications, including voice, data, and electronic reconnaissance support. This capability is crucial for U.S. forces globally, allowing for tailored operations that align with military intelligence unit training schedules. Engineers are tasked with testing and evaluating new digital intelligence technologies using existing TROJAN NexGEN systems before these technologies are fully integrated.

The program also focuses on integrating Direction Finding (DF) and geolocation technologies into TROJAN systems, enhancing their ability to detect and process signals of interest. This involves continuous adaptation of these technologies in accordance with Joint Interface Control Document standards. Efforts are underway to improve the security of the TROJAN network architecture by incorporating multi-bandwidth compression algorithms to maximize network throughput while ensuring communication resilience in challenging environments.

Furthermore, the program emphasizes research and testing of receiver packages for both fixed and transportable systems. These efforts aim to expand frequency ranges using Digital System Processing (DSP) and Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies. By leveraging Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) products, the acquisition strategy seeks to enhance existing technologies to meet specific user requirements effectively. The TROJAN - RH12 program is dedicated to maintaining operational readiness through continuous technological advancements in intelligence collection and processing systems.
