In Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 this Program Element (PE) is realigned, with continuity of effort realigned to the following PEs:
* PE 0602146A Network C3I Technology
* PE 0602213A C3I Applied Cyber
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This PE researches and investigates communications, mission command (MC), and electronics components, sub-components, software and protocols that provide the
Army with enhanced capabilities for secure, mobile, networked communications, assured information delivery, and presentation of information that enables decision-
making. Commercial technologies are continuously investigated and leveraged where possible. Project 779 researches and develops MC software, algorithms,
protocols, architectures, and devices that enable management of information across the tactical and strategic battle space; provides automated cognitive reasoning
and decision making aids; allows timely distribution, presentation/display and use of MC data on Army platforms; and researches alternatives to Global Positioning
System (GPS) for positioning, navigation and timing. Project CY2 investigates cyber electromagnetic activities (CEMA), cyber security devices, software and techniques
to harden wireless communications networks against cyber-attacks and new mobile networking protocols that afford resilience within our networks to autonomically
'fight through' and/or evade hostile cyber effects. Project H92 supports research in communications components, software, algorithms and protocols, which allow field
commanders to communicate on-the-move to/from virtually any location, through a seamless, secure, self-organizing, self-healing network.
Work in this PE complements PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers), PE 0602270A (EW Technology) , PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic
Devices), PE 0603270A (EW Technology), PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science & Sensor Tech), and PE 0603794A (C3 Advanced Technology).
All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This Project investigates and applies advanced communications and network devices, software, algorithms and services by leveraging and adapting commercial
research and new communications and network sciences work by the Army Research Lab, Network Science Collaborative Technology Alliance or other Basic
Research efforts. This Project leverages developments in wireless transport (e.g. mobile radio based communications systems) to design new techniques for improving
communications in high radio frequency (RF) interference environments, such as in the presence of electronic warfare (EW), and to increase the communications
capacity of terrestrial and satellite communications (SATCOM) systems. This Project also investigates antenna components, materials, designs and configurations to
reduce the visual signature of antennas on Soldier, vehicular and airborne platforms and to reduce co-site interference on platforms with multiple transceivers, such
as radios and jammers. Additionally, this Project investigates defensive cyber, cyber security devices, software and techniques to harden wireless communications
networks against cyber attacks and new mobile networking protocols to make wireless, on-the-move (OTM) communications networks more responsive to user needs.
Beginning in FY19 cyber efforts are being reported in Project CY2. This Project also investigates software and techniques that improve the ability of the Soldier to
manage and maintain complex, dynamic networks; and it designs spectrum management software tools to make more efficient use of the congested RF spectrum. This
Project also designs new technology and techniques to lower the size, weight, power and cost of networking systems deployed on Army platforms.
All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
