Network C3I Technology
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) is aligned to the Network and Assured Positioning, Navigation, & Timing (APNT) Army Modernization Priorities. This PE investigates technologies, techniques, components and tools to provide an Army tactical network and enabling infrastructure that support Multi-Domain operations in contested, congested, degraded, and/or denied environments. This is accomplished through the design and development of technologies and components (e.g., electronic components, software and protocols) that provide unified transport and are supportable; mobile, and survivable, and robust mission command on the move; assured and secure positioning, navigation, and timing in all environments; converged and coordinated cyber and electronic warfare activities; resilient communication and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance payloads for tactical space and high-altitude platforms, and the collection, processing, and dissemination of intel/ops information into a common operating environment. Commercial technologies are continuously investigated and leveraged where possible. Work in this PE complements PE 0602143A (Soldier Lethality Technology), PE 0602145A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Technology), PE 0602147A (Long Range Precision Fires Technology), PE 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology), PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology), PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology), PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology), PE 0603464A (Long Range Precision Fires Advanced Technology), PE 0603465A (Future Vertical Lift Advanced Technology), PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology), PE 0603463A (Network C3I Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this performed by the United States Army Futures Command, the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command and the Army Engineer Research and Development Center.
