All the connections with other laboratories to initiate work on joint mission threads should reach full operating capability this March, said Mike Monteleone, director of the C5ISR Center\u2019s Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate, in an interview at central testing site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll this is happening at Aberdeen, which is going to federate across our entire country to touch all the different laboratories and essentially enable an environment that, through the interconnectivity, we can run the end-to-end joint mission threads and burn the risk out of doing it for real live,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those connections are important as the Army looks to include other military services in Project Convergence 21, a demonstration of the Army\u2019s contributions to joint war fighting. The 2020 Project Convergence largely focused on connecting different Army assets, but in 2021 the service wants to connect the Army\u2019s system with other services. Army officers working on Project Convergence have said that the Air Force, Marines and Navy have committed to participating this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe intent is to continuously burn down risk as much as we possibly can until it\u2019s actually time to set up out there,\u201d Monteleone said, adding that the lab will test the same network that will be used in the field. \u201cAs one thing evolves in the laboratory, the field network evolves with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To accommodate joint partners, the C5ISR Center is setting up new infrastructure at APG to accommodate increased demand for integration testing. The current lab, used also for testing of new technologies for the Army\u2019s integrated tactical network, is too small for the new needs. New infrastructure, including servers and long rows of computer screens will be set up in a warehouse-like space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new environment also satisfies a need for a shared lab environment called for by Brig. Gen. Ross Coffman, who led Project Convergence and is the director of Army Futures Command\u2019s Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross-Functional Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had tremendous success &#8230; getting the technologies out of the component-level laboratories and getting them into the systems of systems environment and putting them through their paces where they have to interact, not only with the other systems at a variety of different levels, whether it\u2019s at the data level, at the networking level, or even the operator level of how they would use it,\u201d Monteleone said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also exposing those technologies in that kind of system, the system environment to understand the capability they may deliver to our war fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lab work between the Army and the Air Force, facilitated by C5ISR Center labs at APG, has successfully established a data-sharing connection in one joint use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat lab environment is going to be persistent for us to be able to touch the different partners in a safe, risk-averse, friendly environment so we can fail,\u201d said Portia Crowe, chief data officer of the Network Cross-Functional Team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aberdeen Proving Ground will add lab space for systems integration of the services&#8217; efforts, which have been mostly separate so
