This shift is still in progress and the results of experimentation will inform many of the decisions as to what programs or technology will meet the operational needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s new tactical network strategy comes after a sweeping review initiated by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley; the strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/land\/2017\/11\/14\/congress-to-limit-win-t-funds-until-army-delivers-tactical-comms-plans\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">also was mandated<\/a> in the fiscal 2018 National Defense Authorization Act. It centers on improving governance and pivoting to a new acquisition approach, while also fulfilling critical operational needs. The strategy includes a significant emphasis on an \u201cadapt and buy\u201d model that leans heavily on prototyping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Pentagon report raises some issues with the strategy\u2019s focus on rapid prototyping and \u201cadapt and buy,\u201d including how technologies are chosen and how they are tested for Army-wide viability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe inherent limitation with an \u2018adapt and buy\u2019 approach to acquisition is that the rigor and conditions with which these technologies have been verified may not be adequate to meet Army performance requirements,\u201d the authors wrote. \u201cAdequate testing includes typical users engaged in operationally realistic missions, a realistic threat, employment with intended basis of issue, and objective data collection to support an assessment of operational effectiveness, operational suitability, and survivability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the report, the evaluators deemed the strategy\u2019s focus on experimentation to inform requirements as \u201csuitable,\u201d but called on Army leaders to continue to refine the selection and testing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAPE and DOT&amp;E also said the strategy\u2019s requirement for a standards-based network that allows for rapid insertion of new technologies was suitable. But they warned that the strategy \u201ccannot coalesce into a cohesive effort\u201d without prioritizing defined standards and architectures for the common operating environment and a unified network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also noted trouble with the program\u2019s funding. With no approval for a fiscal 2018 realignment request to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2017\/10\/10\/army-doubles-down-on-win-ts-fight-tonight-problem\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">funnel money away from WIN-T<\/a>, the strategy\u2019s experimental linchpin is not viable, the authors wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evaluators also warned that Army leaders may struggle to prioritize the strategy amid broader Army operations and the draw of the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Army may be challenged to execute a viable strategy because of competing priorities coupled with the inertia associated with the existing acquisition programs and processes. These efforts will compete for human and fiscal resources,\u201d they wrote. Furthermore, \u201cwithout funding, this strategy is not viable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of DoD&#8217;s chief analysts are tentatively giving a go-ahead to the
