C4ISRNET’s Colin Demarest speaks with Army program managers on what’s next for tactical radios.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army is assessing its future distribution of radios and related gear that provide vital links to far-flung soldiers in both the Indo-Pacific and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The juggle, teased months ago by then-Army Chief Information Raj Iyer<\/a>, considers multiple factors including price, looming security deadlines and the upgrades needed in preparation for conflicts of the future, potentially against technologically savvy enemies including China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col. Shermoan Daiyaan, the project manager for tactical radios at the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, or PEO C3T, on April 26 said the service is examining network needs \u201cin order to enable a division commander to fight in large-scale combat operations,\u201d among other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo we need to a have a radio in every vehicle? I don\u2019t know. Do we need to have one radio per team? Or is it one radio per squad?\u201d Daiyaan said at the 22nd annual C4ISRNET Conference<\/a>. \u201cWe are looking at that, and looking at those things hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
