NetModX provides an opportunity for the Combat Capabilities Development Command\u2019s C5ISR Center \u2014 or Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center \u2014 to perform field tests with emerging capabilities that have largely been tested in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Field tests with simulated threat environments, as opposed to lab tests, are important because technologies react in unexpected ways due to realities like different types of trees or terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s theme for NetModX is mission command and command-post survivability, which means participants will focus on technologies that could be fielded in the Army\u2019s Integrated Tactical Network Capability Set \u201923 and Capability Set \u201925 \u2014 future iterations of network tools that the Army plans to deliver to soldiers every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this year\u2019s test, the C5ISR Center is testing communications capabilities that allow for distributed mission command systems across the battlefield \u201cand wider area,\u201d said Michael Brownfield, chief of the future capabilities office at the C5ISR Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve learned by watching our enemies fight, and we know that to survive on the battlefield, No. 1, they can\u2019t be able to see us,\u201d Brownfield told C4ISRNET in an interview. \u201cAnd No. 2, we have to distribute our systems across the battlefield to give them multiple targets and multiple dilemmas in order to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NetModX is also testing network resiliency capabilities that could be delivered as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2020\/05\/07\/where-the-next-iteration-of-the-armys-network-capabilities-is-heading\/\" target=_blank>part of Capability Set \u201923<\/a>. Preliminary design review for the capability set is scheduled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2020\/05\/13\/the-army-network-plan-to-compete-everything\/\" target=_blank>for April next year<\/a>. To test the effectiveness of the resiliency projects the center developed in the lab, the C5ISR Center created a \u201cstate-of-the-art red cell\u201d that attacks the network using enemy\u2019s tactics, techniques and procedures, according to Brownfield. The goal is to make sure the technology can withstand electronic attacks and allow for continuous operations in contested environments when in the hands of deployed soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat resiliency means to us is the network bends, it doesn\u2019t break,\u201d Brownfield said. \u201cAnd the commanders have the information they need and the coordination that they need to fight the battle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A modular radio frequency system of systems is undergoing tests, and Brownfield says it will \u201crevolutionize\u201d the fight on the battlefield. The system automatically switches between primary, alternate, contingency and emergency, or PACE, radios by sensing if radio frequencies are being jammed. The system then responds by automatically switching radio channels to allow for seamless communications in a contested environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, \u201cit\u2019s kind of hard to switch to alternate comms when the person you\u2019re talking to is on their primary, not their alternative comms,\u201d Brownfield said. \u201cAnd the process is very slow. It\u2019s human-driven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the automatic PACE system senses the environment in milliseconds, he said. At last year\u2019s experiment, which focused on network transport capabilities to support precision fires for multidomain operations, the center experimented with radios that could flip to new channels on their own, while launching brute force and other more sophisticated attacks against the radios to see how much stress they could handle before passing data became impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year will be a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis year, we\u2019re pairing different radios together and see how they can work to actually change the type of modulation schemes that we use to maneuver in cyberspace around for continuous operations while under enemy attack and under contested electronic warfare conditions,\u201d Brownfield said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the top priorities for this year\u2019s experiment is allowing for projects leaders to bring their technology into to the field, no matter what stage of development they are in, to be tested in an \u201coperationally relevant environment,\u201d Brownfield said. The team then collects data on how the technology performs and puts it into a database where it can be queried to answer specific performance questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo we can &#8230; ask the database questions like, \u2018What was my latency with these two radios at this point in time,&#8217; and start to understand the true metrics of how the systems performed in the field,\u201d Joshua Fischer, acting chief of systems engineering, architecture, modeling and simulation at the C5ISR Center, told C4ISRNET. He added that those involved are also looking at network throughput.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third annual network modernization experiment will focus on command post
