Testing at Nellis will start in January and continue in three 12-month phases. The department is seeking commercial software prototypes for testing on the network through the Information Warfare Research Projects using an Other Transactional Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prototypes must fall into two areas: applications and services for survivable command and control and wireless network enhancements. For survivable C2, the department wants to build or revise software that supports distributed planning and mission execution functions under 5G architectures. Applications can use audio, gestures, augmented reality devices and haptics for interfacing with the software. For network enhancements, the department is seeking novel 5G applications such as network slicing, which allows operators to dedicate portions of their networks for specific uses, and software-defined networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decisions to open up testing at Nellis comes as the National Spectrum Consortium wraps up its solicitation at four other military bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consortium <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/5g\/2020\/03\/12\/pentagon-seeking-5g-prototypes-for-smart-warehouses\/\" target=\"_blank\">began issuing solicitations for prototypes in March<\/a> as DOD pushed to test 5G enabled augmented reality and virtual reality at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, dynamic spectrum sharing at Hill Air Force Base, and smart warehouses at Marine Corps Logistics Base and Naval Base San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/5g\/2020\/04\/02\/pentagon-announces-final-5g-prototype-proposal\/\" target=_blank>The final solicitation<\/a> closed May 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe responses have been overwhelming,\u201d said Randy Clark, vice chair of the National Spectrum Consortium. \u201cLast year (the consortium) grew about 35 percent on the announcement or report that Congress would be releasing funds for 5G research. So far this year in 2020, our membership continues to grow. I think 25 percent in the first quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responses have been evenly spread across all four solicitations so far, with about 40 responses each, Clark said. Contracts could be awarded in 45-60 days, he added, based on prior experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe importance the government is putting on accelerating this research and engineering for national security reasons is paramount to ensuring the U.S. continues its global leadership in the 5G ecosystem,\u201d said Clark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The decision to open up testing at Nellis comes as the National Spectrum Consortium wraps up solicitations for 5G testing at four other
