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 (N-CFT) 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 in support of the N-CFT capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. These waveforms and services are deployed by technical insertion into production of Program of Record (PoR) radios and field upgrades to existing tactical radios. PdM Waveforms will remain agile to accommodate emerging warfighter needs by addressing the following: 1) Waveform (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 (WREN), 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 2) Development and/or integration efforts of Broadcast Waveforms (i.e. SINCGARS, WREN, ANWf) and Radio Services (i.e. enterprise Over The Air Management (eOTAM)) in support of Army Network modernization, and agile mission support initiatives 3) Viability assessments of ANWf in support of the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) and future capability sets to ensure waveform performance in advance of formal ITN experimentation and fielding activities FY 2023 RDT&E dollars will fund next generation Government developed waveforms and Radio Service applications, system and architectural engineering for ANWf radio communications technologies, program management support and logistics in support of N-CFT Capability Set (CS) for the Unified Network LOE, and examine modular and open system architectures to decrease future integration and waveform porting costs.
