TACTICAL NETWORK OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network in support of efforts the Network-Cross Functional Team (CFT) capability set approach to achieve the Army's Network Modernization strategy and initiatives. Unified Network Operations (UNO) delivers an integrated Network Operations (NetOps) capability, based upon an open framework, for common planning, configuration, management, monitoring, and defense of the Network. This will be accomplished through the integration, co-hosting, and federation of multiple NetOps systems. UNO aligns with the Army's intent to develop NetOps prototypes, conduct Development Operations (DevOps), get user feedback, make adjustments and ultimately deliver enhanced capabilities to the operational force in the shortest time possible. The total cost of the Unified Network Operations (UNO) Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $84.352 million RDT&E from FY19 to FY24. The remainder (FY23-24) of the $31.397 million for UNO MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) policy for MTA funding, UNO MTA RP leverages funds from Tactical Network Operations Management (TNOM) 654818/EK9 and Unit Task Reorganization (UTR) 654818/EW3 to achieve its required funding levels. FY 2023 funding supports UNO MTA Rapid Prototyping (RP) 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 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. UNO Information Systems-Initial Capabilities Document (IS-ICD) was approved 28 June 2021. Program office anticipates transition of UNO MTA RP to UNO PoR beginning in FY24.
