Waveforms
Abstract
This funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line Of Effort (LOE) 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team's capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. Product Manager (PdM) Waveforms provides the transport technologies necessary to support the overall connectivity of the Unified Network. PdM Waveforms' technology assessments, integration, and configuration management enable seamless updates and fluid communication between echelons of the Unified Network. PdM Waveforms delivers, maintains, and upgrades portable, interoperable, Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) waveforms, Advanced Networking Waveforms (ANWf), and network enterprise services to enhance tactical warfighting capabilities. PdM Waveforms provides the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) 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: - Perform standardized viability assessment of ANWf in support of the ITN and future capability sets to proactively ensure waveform performance, in advance of formal ITN experimentation and fielding activities - Execute WF analysis and system engineering activities for DoD as Lead Service Activity for Ground/Line of Sight (LoS) Waveforms (currently TSM, Warrior Robust Enhanced Network Narrowband(WREN NB), and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS)) in accordance with (IAW) Deputy Secretary of Defense memo for Enhancing DOD's Joint Tactical Networks and Datalink Modernization, 29 March 2019 - Work with industry partners in pursuit of alternative waveforms and software technologies to meet LOE 1, fill identified capability gaps, and modernize/evolve the network IAW Capability Set goals over time - Continue development and/or integration efforts of Broadcast Waveforms (i.e. Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), Warrior Robust Enhanced Network (WREN NB)), Advanced Networking Waveforms (ANWf), and Radio Services (i.e. Enterprise Over The Air Management (eOTAM)) in support of Army Network Modernization, and agile mission support initiatives FY 2021 Base RDT&E dollars, in the amount of $20.978 million, will fund software development efforts of legacy and next generation Government waveforms and applications. FY 2021 dollars will also fund system and architectural engineering for ANWf radio communications technologies, to include cyber and electronic warfare, as well as evaluation and assessment activities for waveform and application solutions in support of Network-Cross Functional Team's (N-CFT) Capability Set (CS) for the Unified Network Line of Effort (LOE).
