SAN DIEGO – June 30, 2020 – The Joint Tactical Networking Center (JTNC) announced that the Tactical Communications Marketplace (TCM) will now be known as the Joint Communications Marketplace (JCM), effective June 30.
The name change intends to display the full Joint communications inventory of commercial products and its capability to provide all Department of Defense acquisition authorities a modernized approach to acquiring next generation communications technology.
“We feel that this name change is a great reflection to announce what we truly have in the marketplace,” said JTNC Director, Mr. Kurt Reese. “New communications products and systems are emerging every day and we feel the JCM is giving users a virtual tool that is critical for industry and government.”
The JCM is providing a virtual interface for commercial vendors and defense industry to display their latest tactical radios, waveform technology, and other tactical communication product offerings. Government users are provided actionable data for informed purchasing decisions to fulfill critical capability gaps, and will ultimately speed delivery to the warfighter.
The JTNC announced Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for Government users in October 2019, with Full Operational Capability (FOC) expected in Fiscal Year 2021.
