The Army will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Halt the Mid-Tier Networked Vehicular Radio (MNVR) and Maneuver Control System (MCS) programs realigning funding to higher-priority network modernization efforts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Halt all procurement of Warfighter Information Network Increment 2 (WIN-T Inc. 2) for the Armor Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT), Army National Guard multi-functional brigades and functional brigades across all components, and;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Utilize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2018\/01\/10\/army-to-hold-tactical-network-industry-day\/\">newly established cross functional teams<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/special-reports\/special-reports\/network-proficiency\/2018\/02\/02\/a-special-afghan-unit-could-be-the-armys-test-case-for-its-future-network\/\">conduct rapid prototyping and experimentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big difference in the new strategy, Maj. Gen. Garrett Yee, director of operations and architecture and the acting director of cybersecurity and information assurance in the Army CIO\/G-6 office said, is that the new strategy is designed around potential threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis time it\u2019s threat informed,\u201d Yee said at an event hosted by AFCEA NOVA in Falls Church, Virginia. \u201cCyber threat informed, to be more specific. Electronic warfare threat informed, to be more specific.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yee said it\u2019s not that the Army never thought about the threat but based on what they\u2019ve seen in Eastern Europe recently, the new environment \u201cabsolutely put a point to that issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Priority fixes<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Army has charted out longer term plans to leverage prototyping and rapid insertion of the latest technology, a near term threat still must be addressed. These interim fixes will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>improve command post survivability and mobility;<\/li><li>integrate tactical network transport;<br><\/li><li>provide a mission command application suite that resolves incompatibilities between echelons;<br><\/li><li>improve radio and network survivability against electronic warfare and cyber threats;<br><\/li><li>and increase joint\/coalition interoperability and access to joint fires and close air support<span class=\"js-paste-end-P4ZF427OTFDORFBOI7BWCMIHZI\"><br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, the Army will address vulnerabilities such as resilient communications in the way of strengthening anti-jam capability \u2013 think improving waveforms \u2013 and attempting to lower electromagnetic signature; providing greater cyber and electromagnetic signature situational understanding and lastly, reducing vulnerability in contested environments by incorporating automation and intelligence into hybrid commercial\/military network solutions to be able to select autonomously in real time the right communications system for the environment when adversaries might be trying to exploit wireless communications connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yee, in describing the approach to building in cybersecurity and resiliency into the network, drew parallels to whether a technology is an asset or a liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we\u2019re going to build a capability with say it\u2019s Bluetooth enabled, well you just added a new vulnerability. Did you really need that Bluetooth capability or not,\u201d he said. \u201cDid you need to make that thing wireless or not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In building a future system, the key will be looking at what is truly needed. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty good at asking operators \u2018Hey, do you want this? Do you want that ?\u2019 And we end up with a very fancy capability with a lot of features and functions some of which may not be completely necessary but adds to the vulnerability of that capability,\u201d he said. Going forward, the halt, fix, pivot approach is working to bake in security, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>WIN-T\u2019s future<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will not field the next part of WIN-T, known as WIN-T Inc. 2, beyond fiscal 2018, the strategy says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army will continue to add technology and capability refreshes to the network through virtualization such as improving fixed tactical SATCOM infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, armor brigade combat teams will remain on at-the-halt connectivity until next-generation, transport-enabled mission command on the move is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of WIN-T Inc 2 \u2013 the on the move capability \u2013 the Army will procure components for active duty Infantry BCTs and Stryker BCTs while also leveraging the cross functional team in parallel to identify other capabilities that are more better for operations against near peer threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Guard, Army Reserve or armor BCTs won\u2019t get Inc. 2, the strategy says, instead receiving next-generation on-the-move mission command capability when it becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
