Description
Summary:Joint Applied Project === This Joint Applied Project examined the technical, operational and programmatic implementation of Information Assurance (IA) as it relates to the Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Land Mobile Radio (LMR) program within the United States (U.S.) Army. This project provides an overview of the LMR system, its capabilities and technical requirements, as well as the IA processes and requirements. The project then examines the technical aspects and impacts of implementing the IA requirements on the LMR system with possible interoperability with the Global Information Grid (GIG). As a result of this project, the U.S. Army will have a better understanding of the impact of IA on fielded LMR systems and its future impact to critical communications.
