Network Characteristics & Requirements

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NETWORKThe network must be simple and intuitive with a single mission command suite and single common operational picture that is installed, operated and maintained by Soldiers. It must be available, reliable and resilient, functioning in all operational environments against any enemy. It will be expeditionary and mobile, providing voice, data and video on the move. It will be standards-based, protected and dynamic and must be upgradeableover time. The end result is a network that enables the Warfighter to observe, orient, decide and act faster than the enemy in the conduct of Unified Land Operations, enabling the use of the network as a weapon system.

TECHNICAL NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

The network must be capable of adequate secure communications, providing voice, dataand video in all environments. It will offer situational awareness down to the Platoon level using devices installed, operated and maintained by Soldiers and able to work anywhere in the world.

It will be standardized, running on a Common Operating Environment with common graphics, applications, and integrated data. Additionally, applications must be usable on multiple platforms (for example, a workstation in the garrison or command post, a handheld device and a vehicle-mounted or airborne system). To improve force protection and operational effectiveness, the network must also mitigate electronic signatures by both minimizing and masking emissions from the network itself and the devices that use it.

This robust Army network will ensure continuousJoint interoperability and be accessible to allies and coalition partners without compromising functionality. It will enable agile and adaptive operational flexibility, including the ability to rapidly task organize and employ Joint capabilities.

WARFIGHTING REQUIREMENTSArmy Warfighters must be able to fight, shoot, move, communicate, protect and sustain. All of these capabilities require the ability to reliably communicate anywhere, anytime, in all domains, in all environments and against any foe.

Convergence: a true end to end integrated network is necessary to rapidly deploy in mass for a large scale contingency operation.

Situational Understanding: we must adequately see ourselves across the network-wide surface area to reduce cyber vulnerabilities and enable mission assurance.

Asset Management: we must account for IT and network assets across all four mission areas.

Modernization Path

• Doesn’t enable mission command

• Lacks end-to-end interoperability

• Fragmented = lack of common standards

• Complex and Fragile

• EMS Vulnerable

• Multiple identities

• Crypto mod challenges

• Software baselines = interoperability challenges

Current State Future State• Seamless end-to-end connection and PACE plan

• Self-generating, self-healing, multilayered

integrated network

• Unified Transport Layer End User Device

• Unified Mission Command Suite

• Simple and Intuitive

• Available, reliable and resilient

• Expeditionary and mobile

• Standards-based, protected, upgradeable

• OODA faster than the enemy

• Network is a weapon system

Plan

Network Path ForwardProblem Statement: The current network is too complex, fragile, not sufficiently mobile nor expeditionary, and will not survive

against a peer adversary, especially in a contested and congested environment.
