The plan prioritizes the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), its classified mission network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou look at globalizing the SIPRNet, things like commercial solutions for classified, multiple levels of security, virtual desktop, comply to connect, 5G, bringing it to the installations, wifi, software defined networks and that security architecture and\u201d defensive cyber operations, Ross Guckert, program executive officer for Enterprise Information Systems, told C4ISRNET at the annual AUSA conference. \u201cAll those things are pieces that we\u2019ll look at as part of the enterprise and then scaling those so it\u2019s part of the single network whether you\u2019re\u201d in the U.S. or outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, he said, the Army has focused on the unclassified network, NIPRNet, and the tactical networks. The new unified network plan pivots to SIPRNet, mission command and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guckert said his organization is supporting the vision in three key ways: modernizing all installations with new routers and switches \u2014 which involves the service\u2019s Enterprise IT as a Service pilot; providing new and cutting edge defensive cyber tools for the cyber protection brigade; and providing enterprise services such as identity, credential, and access management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the Army is in a waiting period when it comes to identifying specific near-term initiatives to modernize the enterprise, Guckert said, because it is waiting on the results of certain pilots and funding decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re in the strategy phase, that\u2019s what came out. They call it a plan, but what\u2019s next is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2021\/10\/11\/army-to-issue-implementation-plan-for-new-unified-network-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\">implementation plan<\/a>. What does that look like over time and how is it funded,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be some trades because we can\u2019t do everything we want to do. \u2026 It\u2019s never an end state, it\u2019s a constantly evolving and modernizing as we learn and as money becomes available and what the priorities are so we know how to spend that money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the pilots mentioned is Enterprise IT as a Service, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/newsletters\/daily-brief\/2019\/01\/18\/will-enterprise-it-as-a-service-create-a-more-digital-air-force\/\" target=\"_blank\">initially spearheaded by the Air Force<\/a> and involves getting Army personnel out of managing mundane IT tasks by outsourcing them to industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, the Army planned to conduct nine pilots, but curtailed it to three, Guckert said, because those three sites will likely give them the information they need. There should be a decision next quarter on what the Army wants to adopt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army&#8217;s new unified network plan prioritizes the classified
