Broadband Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Solution (Tech Insertion - C4 Enhancement for the U.S. Army in Transformation)

Abstract

The Battle Command Battle Lab located at Fort Gordon, Georgia (BCBL-G) leads the U.S. Army's efforts to bridge C4 (Command, Control, Communications, and Computers) capability gaps by leveraging leading edge technologies for rapid insertion into the operational force. The U.S. Army is presently undergoing a major transformation while conducting Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) which complicates this challenge immensely. The BCBL-G has focused its most recent support of the transformation effort by working to solve specific C4 shortfalls that were highlighted by the sub-marginal performance of the Army's tactical internal communications (Division and below communications systems) as experienced first hand during OIF.
