The Army is employing diverse methods to keep its network up, data flowing and signals passing <\/a>between units in a major field exercise as it continues to build the next generation of command and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deployed brigades will need to establish their networks quickly<\/a>, work seamlessly with partner or ally networks and toggle between multiple options \u2014 from 5G to low-earth-orbit satellites \u2014 to maintain connectivity, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
