WIN-T Increment 3 - Full Networking

Abstract

The Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (WIN-T) Increment (Inc) 3 program has been de-scoped to a software-only program. WIN-T Inc 3 develops the Network Operations (NetOps) software to meet the Army's Network Convergence goals. NetOps provides the monitoring, control and planning tools to ensure management of the voice, data and internet transport networks. The NetOps software will also provide Information Assurance and Network Centric Enterprise Services. This allows for seamless integration of the tactical network planning, management, monitoring, and defense for the Signal staff. These NetOps improvements simplify the management of the network and increase the automation of tools and reporting. The developed NetOps software enhancements will be provided as a technical insertion to WIN-T Incs 1 and 2. Inc 3 also develops the enhanced Net Centric Waveform (NCW) version 10.x for increased throughput capability beyond line of sight (BLOS) satellite communication and the Highband Networking Waveform (HNW) version 3.0 for line of sight (LOS) communications. NCW version 10.x testing will support Army Strategic Command certification of the waveform for use on Wideband Global Satellites and subsequent insertion into WIN-T Inc 1 and Inc 2. HNW version 3.0 will be delivered to the Joint Tactical Networking Center (JTNC) Information Repository for commercial development application. Both NCW and HNW provide improved network capacity and robustness. FY 2016 continues funding the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the program, culminating the development with Operational Testing of NetOps Builds and NCW 10.x at the Network Integration Evaluation exercise 16.2 and execution of an over the air demonstration of the HNW 3.0 waveform using the EMD prototype radios and antennas prior to submission the waveform repository.
