Unified Network Transport
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team. Unified Network Transport is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort 1 (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 Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) is responsible for prioritizing, programming, managing and executing these projects and ensuring these funds are prioritized to support the Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT) Army modernization priorities and prototyping. The N-CFT and PEO C3T prioritize technology demonstrations, focused evaluations, and expert analyses to inform future requirements, mature technologies, and deliver new capabilities. Efforts funded from these projects will inform technology transitions, research and development, and user assessments, and then rapidly transition to appropriate Programs of Record or be established as a new program. Unified Network Transport provides the ground domain network connectivity of Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and enables Unified Action Partner interoperability through integration with the Mission Partner Environment (MPE). Interoperability is the ability to routinely act together coherently, effectively and efficiently to achieve tactical, operational, and strategic objectives. Interoperability between disparate forces allows coalitions to produce greater combat power than the sum of their parts by leveraging relative strengths while mitigating relative weaknesses. FY 2023 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/machine learning (AI/ML), 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.
