Highly Networked Force
Abstract
A highly networked and enabled force increases efficiency, effectiveness, and safety while reducing cost by making the right information available at the right time to every person and system that needs it. Accomplishing this depends on providing reliable wireless communications to all U.S. forces, platforms, and devices in all phases of conflict. The Highly Networked Force program seeks to overcome key limitations of current technology to realize the fully network-enabled force by addressing issues such as: lack of coverage due to operation in challenged locations or loss of relays or links; lack of capacity due to inefficient allocation of scarce spectral resources; lack of connectivity due to networks that cannot keep up with the high rate of change; and lack of expected service due to uncoordinated management of sub-networks and gateways. Technologies developed under this program will be transitioned to the Services.
