TACTICAL NETWORK OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
This funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. Tactical Network Operations Management's (TNOM) purpose is to create Unified Network Operations (UNO). UNO is a software centric, integrated NetOps capability being developed, as a rapid prototype - proceeding under Section 804 Mid-Tier Acquisition (MTA) authority granted by the Army Acquisition Executive (AAE)'s 14 May 2019 Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM). Enabling common planning, configuration, monitoring, provisioning, management, and defense of the Network, UNO configures and integrates tactical and enterprise networks to allow delivery of information and communications among Soldiers at all echelons utilizing network resources prioritized according to the Commander's intent. In developing UNO, TNOM follows the Army's Development Operations (DevOps) approach - creating Network Operations (NetOps) prototypes, gaining user feedback, making adjustments and ultimately delivering enhanced capabilities to the operational force in the shortest time possible. UNO development incorporates solutions available in industry and through government agencies - assessing them in an adapt-and-buy approach informed by experimentation, demonstration, and modernization. FY 2022 funding supports MTA (Section 804) rapid prototyping efforts of UNO v1.1 via NetOps capabilities that build upon current efforts, efforts that align with Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) guidance to provide delivery of simplified NetOps capabilities across the tactical network, and include emerging capability requirements stemming from Network Cross-Functional Team (CFT) initiatives and directed requirements. UNO will also support the delivery of integrated capabilities to plan, install, operate, maintain, and secure the Army's end-to-end network in support of the commander's mission priorities. Army's approved requirements for UNO are found in the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) Abbreviated - Capability Definition Document (A-CDD) dated 26 June 2019.
