Col. Branon Baer, project manager for the integrated tactical network, said May 30 during an Army technical exchange meeting with industry in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integrated tactical network is a mix of existing programs of record and commercial off-the-shelf capabilities that allows a unit to communicate in congested environments and provide situational awareness. However, officials noted that the integrated tactical network is just a subset of capability sets to be delivered, which will also include tools for command and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capability set \u201921 underwent a preliminary design review in late May, with one focus area being identifying where the Army still expects to make some design choices as it looks at alternative ways of doing various things in the ITN, Maj. Gen. Dave Bassett, program executive officer, command, control, communications-tactical, told C4ISRNET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Curtis Nowak, network cross-functional team lead for the integrated tactical network, told the audience at the forum that capability set \u201923 will begin to look more at capacity and resiliency to increase bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know that, as we go into operations, we have a requirement for more information not only to the edge, but also from the edge to the enterprise,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat we\u2019re looking for is high-capacity satellites, utilization of everything that we can get on the battlefield. Bringing in our initial cloud, wherever that may be hosted. Information is key. Then having it be anti-jam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For capabilities in 2025, Nowak said the Army is looking at automated systems and additional network security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re looking for in \u201925 is really shifting the ITN so the soldiers are not concerned about what form of transport they\u2019re going to be using, but rather that the system already does it for them,\u201d he said. \u201cIf it\u2019s high-capacity satellite, it\u2019s high-capacity satellite. If the enemy threat is there, that\u2019s not an option, then we go to line-of-sight. It should not be the soldier who is concerned [with that], but rather the system itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a slide presented during the conference, the Army is grading itself on four key attributes as it fields the capability sets every two years. These include expeditionary, mobile, hardened and intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 2023, expeditionary is about 75 percent, mobile is just under 50 percent and hardened and intuitive are just above 50 percent as depicted on the chart. Capability set 2025 has expeditionary around 90 percent, mobility at 75 percent, hardened at around 90 percent and intuitive at about 80 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army is starting now to identify technologies and conduct tests that will inform its network upgrades in 2023, 2025 and
