At $11.9 billion, the request is $1.7 billion more than the $10.2 billion the Pentagon requested for FY2020. The larger funding is part of a push for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/federal-budget\/2020\/02\/10\/pentagon-budget-request-increases-rd-funding-cuts-legacy-planes\/\" target=\"_blank\">significantly increased research and development funding in FY 2021 by the Pentagon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s described as \u201ctheater combat C3 and services\u201d makes up the lion\u2019s share of this part of the budget request at $6.7 billion, with technology development coming in a distant second with $2.5 billion. Those figures are up significantly from the fiscal 2020 request when the Pentagon asked for $5.9 billion and $1.6 billion respectively. After that, $1.1 billion is for base communications, $1 billion is for information security and assurance, and the final $0.6 billion is for automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C4I systems entail a disparate group of programs, including communications gear, night vision equipment, data processing equipment, fire control systems and more. Among the programs highlighted in the Pentagon\u2019s budget materials are the Army\u2019s Tactical Network Transport Modernization in Service, the Handheld Manpack, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2020\/02\/10\/pentagon-cyber-budget-is-flat-in-new-request\/\" target=_blank>cybersecurity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding request would include about $530 million for the Army\u2019s Tactical Network Transport Modernization in Service budget line, which ensures ongoing satellite and line of sight connectivity with improvements to the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) system. That funding will be used to complete the fielding of on-the-move networking to two the final Stryker brigade combat teams. The prime contractors on the Tactical Network Transport program are General Dynamics Mission Systems, Envistacom and L3Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The budget request would also cover $579 million in funding for handheld manpacks radio. Those funds will be used for an open competition for Leader and Manpack radios, ultimately providing \u201cup to five Brigade Combat Team LR and MP radios, support equipment, fielding, non-recurring engineering, and platform vehicle integration.\u201d The prime contractors on that program are L3Harris, Thales Communications Inc. and Collins Aerospace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The $11.9 billion will help the U.S. military achieve full spectrum dominance, the Department of Defense
