Artifact Assessment Tool Suite Infrastructure (AATSI)

JTRS has established the programmatic goal of procuring waveform application software in a form that can be ported (rehosted or transferred) to different Joint Tactical Radio (JTR) platforms at a cost considerably lower than that for new development. The JTRS Program aims to achieve the following goals : • Reduced cost through maximized reuse of waveform cross-platform • Faster insertion of new technologies • Interoperability of radio systems between services • Reduced training requirements The technical objectives for Phase II while building on our AATSI Phase I efforts, findings and prototype successes, include supporting these JTRS Program goals, while researching and developing a Standards Compliance Checker (SCC) that will support standards compliance assessment automation across DOD. Our goal here is to continue adding extensible framework features that will aid in processes improvement and enhance current software development and standards assessment efforts, to allow for a repeatable solution. As one of our first tasks during this Phase II effort we will focus on researching and developing the automation of the currently mostly manual waveform portability assessment tasks and procedure runs conducted by the NED Test and Evaluation (T&E)/Portability Assessment Team (PAT), to allow for process streamlining and cost and time savings.
