Defense Technology Innovation (Beyond 5G)

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Build a Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage and Build a resilient Joint Force and Defense Ecosystem. Today’s mobile and tactical communications are stove-piped and limit the force from fully executing the JADC2 concepts of tomorrow. Warfighters require integrated network mission solutions utilizing 5G/FutureG technologies to support the future battle. Beyond 5G delivers unified solutions in mobile and tactical networks to give US DoD an asymmetric advantage. Through key strategically architected innovations being developed by Defense Technology Innovation (Beyond 5G), the future implementation and sustainability of current JADC2 concepts will be supported, enabling DoD to keep pace with warfighter capability requirements. The net benefit will be a reduction in the technical and tactical burden on DoD network operators via implementations of high performing mission solutions which are situationally aware and can rapidly and autonomously adapt to changing battlefield conditions.
