Unified Network Transport
Abstract
The Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT) narrows assigned Army capability gaps using Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel and Facilities - Policy (DOTMLPF-P) enhancements to enable overmatch. The N-CFT engages in expert analysis, focused experiments, and technology demonstrations to narrow capability gaps. Subsequent to a materiel development decision, the N-CFT develops and refines capability documentation aligned with the appropriate phase of the program. The N-CFT will inform technology transitions, research and development, and user assessments, and then rapidly transition Operational Requirements into the Army Acquisition System. The N-CFT will integrate and synchronize activities across the Army, tied to Joint requirements, focused to improve speed, capability, and cost of materiel solutions to meet the Chief of Staff of the Army's (CSA's) first order principles, characteristics, and Warfighting requirements. Unified Network Transport supports the Army's Network Modernization Strategy Line Of Effort (LOE) 1 - Unified Network; LOE 2 - Common Operating Environment (COE); LOE 3 - Interoperability; and LOE 4 - Command Post Mobility and Survivability. Funds will (1) identify and acquire technologies to address identified gaps across the Lines of Effort in the Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network, Tactical Network Transport, Computing Environments, Interoperability and Command Posts, and (2) conduct demonstrations and experimental testing in lab and operational environments on the technologies. Successful solutions identified through the experimentation will be transitioned to Programs of Record for integration and fielding. Funds for experimentation will also support integration with solutions identified in the other Modernization CFT efforts to ensure their network dependencies are addressed.
