The Army is finishing up a list of requirements for technologies it needs for the next round of its network modernization capabilities, known as Capability Set 23, one of the service\u2019s network leaders said May 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army wants to have research and development <\/b>contracts for prototypes signed no later than July, according to Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher, director of the network cross-functional team for Army Futures Command. He added that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has slowed the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capability set 23 is a follow-on effort<\/a> to capability set 21, which is addressing current capability gaps in the Army\u2019s network with technology currently available, such as improved network transport capabilities. The service plans to deploy new network tools every two years starting in 2021 as part of a continuous network modernization plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
