Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol Training, JREAP Training Bootcamp

Avalon, Australia - March 5, 2013: United States Air Force (USAF) Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor stealth tactical fighter aircraft landing at Avalon Airport.

Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol Training, JREAP Training Bootcamp, is a 4-day JREAP course covering details of JREAP-A or Announced Token Passing protocol for half-duplex communications, JREAP-B or synchronous or asynchronous point-to-point mode of the JREAP, and JREAP-C using the Internet Protocol (IP) in conjunction with UDP or TCP.

Participants of JREAP Training bootcamp will also learn about the foundation of Joint Range Extension (JRE) concept and how the Internet Protocol (IP) technologies utilized for transfer and transport  tactical data using integration of Data Links networks and tactical IP networking.

JREAP training bootcamp provides knowledge of system capabilities and limitations, system foundation, engineering, operation, performance, qualification and optimization of JREAP systems.

For over 30 years TONEX has supported land, air and maritime military operations, defense organizations and government agencies around the world to deliver situational awareness consulting and training and enhanced operating effectiveness of mission critical SATCOM, UHF, VHF, TDL, Link 11/16/22, VMF, SADIL, and JREAP systems.

Our team of skilled instructors, consultants and  JREAP experts assist participants on all aspects of the JREAP lifecycle processes. In accordance with DoD Instruction 4630.8, it is DoD policy that all Joint and combined operations be supported by compatible, interoperable, and integrated Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) systems.
