Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network
Abstract
Integrated Tactical Network/Enterprise Network is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1 Unified Network. These efforts support advanced component development activities that are aligned to the Army's Tactical Network Capability Set development and fielding plans. This funding will inform design decisions for future tactical network capability sets in the areas of Aerial Tier, LEO, MEO, GEO high throughput satellite capabilities, cyber hardened communications, and resilient Line of Site (LOS) and beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) waveforms through evaluation and technical maturation. It will increase bandwidth and range; improve mobility and network security; harden the network and support interoperability with Joint and Unified Action Partners. This project enables a converged Mission Command Network that operates seamlessly worldwide and in any environment. 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. The ITN/IEN enables Unified Action Partner Interoperability through integration into the Joint Information Environment (JIE) and 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.
