Waveforms
Abstract
The Waveforms program supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort 1, Unified Network In order to support the overall connectivity for the Unified Network, PdM Waveforms mission execution provides the transport technologies allowing soldiers to better communicate between echelons. PdM Waveforms' technology assessments, integration, and configuration management enable more fluid and swift updates to the Unified Network capabilities by focusing on the Soldier's mission and safety. PdM Waveforms delivers, maintains, and upgrades portable, interoperable, mobile ad hoc networking waveforms (MANET), advance networking waveforms, and network enterprise services to enhance tactical warfighting capabilities. PdM Waveforms provides the Lower Tactical Internet with a suite of waveforms and network services that are: (1) Interoperable - used by all Services; (2) Capable of operating on a variety of hardware platforms, both Program of Record and non-developmental commercial radios; (3) Secure - meet all Department of Defense and US Government information assurance requirements; (4) Operationally relevant - quickly and effectively meet evolving network mission requirements of Combatant Commanders and the Services; and (5) Affordable - drive down procurement and support costs via a robust, competitive market which adheres to open government standards. PdM Waveforms will remain agile to accommodate emerging warfighter needs by refocusing effort strategies to address the following: - Work with Industry Partners to assess, analyze, and vet Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)/Non-Developmental Item (NDI) waveforms in support of the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) - Pursue alternative waveforms to reduce the complexity of MANET - Improve spectral efficiency - Seek Electronic Counter-Counter Measure (ECCM) improvements for operations in contested environment - Implement improvements that allow the tactical radios to be operated in a radio silence mode. FY 2020 Base RDTE dollars in the amount of $25.484 million supports the continued development of the waveforms, testing support, and the program management office.
