In the future, forces will have to move, shoot and communicate in 30-minute increments against near peer threats, leaders say, meaning systems will have to be simple for general purpose soldiers. Contractors likely won\u2019t be able to assist in the field as they had in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one development Army leaders are excited about the Transportable Tactical Command Communications, or T2C2, which was recently awarded full-rate production. T2C2, developed by GATR, which was recently bought by Cubic, will be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2017\/10\/02\/heres-what-the-armys-tactical-network-for-the-future-will-look-like\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Army\u2019s standard for early entry communications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cubic\u2019s CEO said he is pleased with the full-rate production decision and sees additional opportunities for the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Army has stated that they\u2019re going to buy some 800 terminals for T2C2, but I see with the convergence of SATCOM that they\u2019ll be other opportunities so the T2C2 umbrella will broaden,\u201d Brad Feldmann told C4ISRNET in an interview at the Satellite 2018 conference in Washington, D.C., in early March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to moving command and control data, per se, I think the Army has a whole bunch of different satellite ground terminals and certainly the GATR solution is potential for those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution, Feldmann explained, is the first tri-band solution providing Ku-band, Ka band and X band. Feldmann also said the solution was created with usability in mind so that soldiers could operate it with minimal or no field service representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an operational test last February, he said, two soldiers in Alaska with minimal training set the system up in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSoldiers were out there in four degree [temperatures]. They were able to set up, bring the entire capably, not just the antenna, but bring it into the network in less than 30 minutes,\u201d Col. Gregory Coile, project manager tactical networks, told reporters during a visit to Fort Myer March 19 for a demonstration of the Army\u2019s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked if there were issues meeting the Army\u2019s production demands for T2C2, Feldmann noted that the company has been thinking about this for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re greatly expanding our footprint in Huntsville,\u201d he said, referencing the GATR facility located in Huntsville, Alabama. \u201cWe\u2019re building a new building and attached to our existing building and we\u2019ll have plenty of square footage to be able to produce GATRs like Chiclets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soldiers can set up the Army&#8217;s new tactical satellite communications system in 20
