Waveforms
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Priority. This project provides the transport technologies necessary to support the overall connectivity of the Unified Network. Waveforms technology assessments, integration, and configuration management enable seamless updates and fluid communication between echelons of the Unified Network. 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 ARMY 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. 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 2024 RDT&E dollars will fund the continued development, integration, and testing of new capabilities and waveform enhancements for SINCGARS, WREN, TSM, and ANWf. Additionally, funding supports the next generation Government developed waveforms and Radio Service applications, system and architectural engineering for ANWf radio communications technologies, post deployment software support for fielded versions of the waveforms and radio services, program management support, and examine modular and open system architectures (MOSA) to make future integration and waveform porting more efficient.
