Unified Network Transport
Abstract
Unified Network Transport is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1 Unified Network; LOE 2, Common Operating Environment (COE), LOE 3, Interoperability; and LOE 4, Command Post Mobility and Survivability. These efforts support advanced component development activities that are aligned to the Army's Tactical Network Capability Set development and fielding plans. The Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT) engages in technology demonstrations, focused evaluations, and expert analysis to inform future requirements, mature technologies, and deliver new capabilities. Subsequent to a decision for materiel development, the N-CFT develops and refines capability documentation aligned with the appropriate transition approach. The N-CFT will inform technology transitions, research and development, and user assessments, and then rapidly transition to appropriate Programs of Record. FY 2021 funds will support identification, maturation, demonstration, and evaluation of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6+ systems and subsystem components including, but not limited to, resilient Line of Site (LOS) and beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications, information systems and information management; cyber electromagnetic activities (CEMA) situational understanding and operations; intelligence fusion, cloud technologies, virtual augmentation, artificial intelligence, and data convergence and analytics in the Common Operating Environment to inform the Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network and Enabling Functions, Computing Environments, Interoperability and Command Posts. Successful solutions identified through evaluation in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment will be transitioned to Programs of Record for integration and fielding. Funds will also support integration with solutions identified in the other Modernization CFT efforts to ensure network dependencies are addressed.
