Rob Ryan said April 21 at the C4ISRNET Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is the max amount of shared data that we can get distributed? Where are we at? And how can we best distribute what we have learned from [Capability Set] \u201921 as we move to \u201923? What technologies are going to mature on the vine and which aren\u2019t? And then scalability, affordability, those are key pieces there. Resiliency, you know, as we look at this, do we have the necessary redundancy and diversity as we kind of move forward,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensuring a common operating picture will be critical, Ryan noted, \u201cas you look at this with both legacy communications equipment and \u2026 as we modernize the forces, I\u2019ve got to keep continuity with both. I\u2019ve got to manage that because I\u2019ve got to be able to allow commanders at every level to have that common operating picture and I have to allow systems of systems to converge so I can leverage every other battlefield warfighting function I have,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army held its first evaluation of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2021\/01\/15\/pentagon-weapons-tester-wants-to-delay-fielding-of-new-army-tactical-network-tools\/\" target=_blank>Capability Set \u201921<\/a> tactical network tools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2021\/03\/29\/armys-network-equipment-tested-for-first-time-with-full-brigade\/\" target=_blank>at the full brigade level <\/a>at the Joint Readiness Training Center evaluation at Fort Polk, Louisiana, in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set \u201923 will be focused on what a Stryker Brigade Combat Team will need, which is a big shift from what was needed when designing network tools for an Infantry Brigade Combat Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s going to be different, now they\u2019re mounted,\u201d Col. Garth Winterle, program manager for tactical radios within the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office for Command, Control, and Communications-Tactical, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The set will need to provide the right power sources and levels in Stryker vehicles and will need to work at higher speeds at greater distances for a different mission set, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve really designed a lot of different test events to take that into consideration and peel apart those differences in the next year between what we learned as part of the IBCT and what we\u2019re going to learn on the Stryker BCT,\u201d Winterle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there will be more to come on what CS \u201923 will look like, some decisions that were deferred with CS \u201921 will be settled for CS \u201923, Winterle added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got some deferred basis of issue decisions on things like dismounted leader radios and where do they belong in the formation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the JRTC rotation, \u201cthere was a lot of discussion below platoon-level, does a team leader or squad leader really need a two-channel leader radio or can they really use a more simple, easier-to-operate and more power-efficient, single-channel radio,\u201d Winterle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a lot of the equipment that is part of CS \u201921 will serve as a baseline for CS \u201923, but the service will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2020\/05\/13\/the-army-network-plan-to-compete-everything\/\" target=_blank>continue to assess the material solutions<\/a> it is buying, Lt. Col. Brandon Baer, the PEO C3T product manager, said, in order to ensure the Army is getting the best value and best capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, multiple vendors are capable of delivering a single-channel radio out there and so after the Army bought its first lot, it put out a request for information to industry to see what else was available, Baer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is preparing for a final down-select and an award to procure another lot of radios to field in fiscal 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next set of tactical network tools will soon pass through its preliminary design
