Unified Network Transport

Abstract

This funding line supports advanced component development activities that are aligned to the Army's modernized network of 2030/2040. The Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) is responsible for programming, managing and executing these projects and ensuring these funds are aligned to support the Army's Network Modernization requirements. PEO C3T, in partnership with the Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), prioritizes 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 2025 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 Sight (LOS) and beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications, information management systems, 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 achieve modernized Unified Network capabilities required for the Army of 2030/2040. 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 other Army network priorities to ensure network dependencies are addressed.
