The document presents an agenda for a panel discussion on the integration of command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems within the Army, highlighting key modernization objectives and challenges. It emphasizes the necessity for network modernization to maintain military superiority while addressing the evolving technological landscape. The document outlines the roles of various Army testing and evaluation commands and the specific programs under evaluation, such as the tactical portion of the Global Information Grid and the Joint Tactical Radio Systems.

5. Strategic Challenges
“Our military will be leaner, but the world must know
the United States is going to maintain our military
superiority with armed forces that are agile, flexible
and ready for the full range of contingencies and threats.”.”
–
President
Obama,

“The Army has global responsibilities that require large
technological advantages to prevail decisively in combat –
“technological overmatch,” if you will… Modernizing,
especially as end strength is reduced, is the key to ensuring
that the Army’s dominance continues. As I reflect upon the
pace of technological change in today’s modern world and the
impact of rapid, global information exchange upon our overall
security environment, I am both inspired and encouraged by
the Army’s approach to building a network able to connect our
forces at all echelons. This remains our number one
modernization priority.”
C4ISR

6. Army Network Today
Ø Over the last 10 years, the operational portion of the network modernized
faster than the institutionalized portion
Ø As we draw down, 80% of the Army is now CONUS- based
Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) pioneered the collaborative development
of Capability Sets
Ø Army is expanding the Capability Set approach to focus on comprehensive
network modernization

30. WIN-T Increment 2
• WIN-T Increment 2
– Provides On-The-Move (OTM) communications down to the company level
– Provides common logon via CAC
– Tactical Communications Nodes (TCN) and Point Of Presence (POP) at the
Division, Maneuver Brigade, and Battalion
– Soldier Network Extensions (SNE) at the company level
– POP and SNE designed to be integrated into Armored Vehicles such as
Bradley and MRAP
30

31. Concept of Operations
• The critical advantage of WIN-T Inc 2 is its ability to give commanders the
right information at all times, even when forces are moving -a capability not
widely available today.
• WIN-T INC2 adds On-the-Move (OTM) communications capability
– Mobile infrastructure supporting key leaders and elements
– Provides initial wide area networking On-the-Move capability and
enhanced fixed command post connectivity.
– Satellite Communications (SATCOM) and Terrestrial High-band Network
Waveform (HNW) OTM capability.
– Enhanced QoS
– High Speed Non-secure Internet Protocol Routing Network (NIPRNET),
Secret Internet Protocol Routing Network (SIPRNET), and Defense
Switch Network (DSN) services from Division to Company.
– Dynamic reuse of spectrum for Line Of Sight (LOS)
• The key enabler of WIN-T is to provide network connectivity while on the
move.
