Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network
Abstract
Unified Network, enables a converged Mission Command Network that operates seamlessly worldwide and in any environment. This effort has three components: Integrated Tactical Network, Network Enablers and Integrated Enterprise Network. It includes the development of a standards-based network architecture that unifies enterprise and deployed network capabilities and features a unified transport layer, network operations and other enabling functions that allows integration of disparate networks. The Army network will provide resiliency through path diversity and dynamic routing to ensure tactical units can communicate in hostile environments. It will provide multiple ways to communicate and give commanders the ability to choose their communications methods and tools during operations. It fully incorporates cyber and electronic warfare capabilities that support the employment of the network as a weapon system. This funding is used to identify and acquire technologies to enhance or address gaps associated with LOE 1, Unified Network, for experimentation and demonstration in the overall Integrated Network. The Unified Network LOE enables a converged Mission Command Network that operates seamlessly worldwide and in any environment. It will increase bandwidth and range; improve mobility and network security; and harden the network. This will require the creation of a standards-based network architecture that effectively integrates enterprise and deployed network capabilities across domains and environments, and features a unified transport layer that permits "plug and play" for specific network capabilities. LOE 1 addresses the following operational requirements: Converged Mission Command Network, Network Augmentation / Extension, and Synthetic Training Environment. LOE 1 enhancements include Aerial Tier (WGS Ka Band Surrogate), CEMA resiliency, and cyber hardened communications.
