Transformational Communications
Architecture
• TCA is a space transport-level architecture that
– Works in concert with the Global Information Grid
(GIG) to help synchronize multiple acquisitions
– Promotes standards and interoperability
– Delivers time-phased capability in an evolutionary
approach
– Supports information architecture concepts that
enable critical Information Sharing needs of the U.S.
