A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Project C29, The Centralized Technical Support Facility (CTSF): The CTSF is the Army's premier test and certification facility for System of Systems interoperability,
functioning as CIO/G6's designated independent test agent and Land/WarNet/Mission Command (LWN/MC) configuration manager. The Central Technical Support
Facility's (CTSF) directed mission is to perform Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) testing and configuration management for all 23 operational through tactical
level Command, Computing, Control, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems, Mission and Space systems,
Aviation systems and other individual, family, and system of systems, applications, and hardware prior to release to the field. The CTSF accomplishes this through
the enforcement of a standards based architecture while supporting the development and implementation of an integrated computing infrastructure and a converged
network. The CTSF provides validated test data to the Department of the Army and Joint agencies to accredit interoperability certifications. The distributed test
environment of the CTSF is accomplished through the Federation of Net-centric Sites (FaNS) construct. This FaNS construct addresses distributed integration
development and testing using the core infrastructure of the CTSF to harness Army and Joint expertise/resources. Through these federated resources, the CTSF
executes or supports interoperability development, integration and certification testing of the systems and system of systems in the Warfighter Mission Area, to
include Network Evaluation spinouts, as they become part of the Army's LandWarNet. The cited work is consistent with Strategic Planning Guidance and the Army
Modernization and Strategy Plan.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team. Efforts are aligned with the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE)
2, Common Operating Environment (COE).
Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) implements an integrated, interoperable, cyber-secure, software infrastructure that serves as the host for a unified set
of multiple warfighting functional applications within the command post at echelons Battalion to Army Service Component Command (ASCC); eliminating "stove-piped"
enduring systems, duplicative or redundant implementations, simplifying future application development efforts, and enhancing interoperability and data sharing across
multiple echelons.
The CPCE software infrastructure and applications reside on Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) hardware and BCCS/TSI servers previously fielded under the TMC/
MCS program of record. CPCE/TSI provides the hardware infrastructure to host capabilities, such as movement and maneuver applications, network enabling tools
(i.e. Cyber Situational Understanding and Tactical Defensive Cyber Operation Infrastructure) and warfighting function applications. This software infrastructure provides
the Army's Common Operating Picture (COP) solution, allowing interoperability between command posts, mounted platforms, and dismounted handheld devices while
supporting collaboration with Joint and Unified Action partners. CPCE provides common look and feel (user interface), common data strategy, interoperable tactical
messaging/ chat, and essential warfighting capabilities.
FY 2023 funding will extend the capabilities of the CPCE software infrastructure, and support Capability Set 23 (CS23) by bringing additional warfighting function
capabilities, and is focused primarily on the future Data Fabric and the convergence of existing command post capabilities managed by Army programs of record.
Improvements to the CPCE infrastructure to accommodate enduring system integration will be prioritized. Additionally, as part of Increment 2 and CS23, multiple
Science and Technology efforts will reach Technology Readiness Level 6 and will be integrated and tested for inclusion into the CPCE architecture. Continued RDTE
efforts will include ongoing development in the area of data fabric, including ingress/egress, persistence (storage), access control and management, and querying.

Remarks
Related to CPCE is the Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) funding line, B70000, which funds computer hardware and software servers/hosting platforms for CPCE
software.
D. Acquisition Strategy
CPCE/TSI is an Acquisition Category II program structured in increments to deliver capability every two years. Increment 1 aligns with Capability Drop (CD) 1 and
Increment 2 aligns with CDs 2 & 3. Increment 3 will align with CDs 4 & 5.
In accordance with DoD direction that procurement and modification of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products is the preferred acquisition approach, CPCE/TSI
procured a COTS battle management system to serve as the underlying core infrastructure, and is modifying that COTS product to meet additional Army requirements,
including backwards compatibility with enduring systems. For development of additional capabilities to be integrated into the COTS system, CPCE/TSI follows the Agile
development approach (Epics, Iterations, and Sprints) that allows capabilities to be engineered, developed and tested rapidly.
The Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Armaments Center Weapons and Software Engineering Center (WSEC) and the Communications-Electronics
Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center (SEC) are prime Government partners in system development. Commercial suppliers are assigned efforts through
GSA Mission Command Engineering Services vehicles and Multiple Award Task Order (MATO) contracts.
Hardware (server) platforms are COTS and procured under the Tactical Services Infrastructure (TSI) funding line through existing vehicles from GSA, Common
Hardware Systems (CHS) and the Army Computer Hardware Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS).
CPCE Inc 0 brought the core software infrastructure and initial movement and maneuver capabilities. Inc 1 met the requirements of the CPCE Requirements Definition
Package and Capability Drop 1 and focused on enhancements to Inc 0 and enabling enduring system convergence. Inc 2 will bring additional warfighting function
capabilities and enhancements to existing capability.
The Product Management Office delivers the CPCE core infrastructure (underlying basis for convergence), Movement & Maneuver capabilities, and Sustainment
capabilities. The Program Management Office continues to fund developmental and convergence work that enhances the capabilities of the core infrastructure, while
external organizations such as other Army Programs of Record and S&T organizations fund the development of specific warfighting capabilities and technologies for
integration into the core framework. Testing is conducted continually with a culminating Operational Assessment every two years. Operational Assessment testing
includes the core framework and all capabilities integrated since the prior increment.

Note
Beginning with FY 2023, the Army has realigned MCE RDT&E funding for the development of the Mounted Mission Command - Software (MMC-S) from this line to the
Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) RDTE line (PE 0604805A/Proj 593). These funds will support continued MMC-S development as part of the MMC Family of
Systems (MMC FoS) strategy for modernizing and replacing the JBC-P capability. Consolidating the RDTE funding enables agile development and flexibility in support of
the MMC FoS.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team.
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 2, Common Operating Environment (COE). PdM efforts are aligned to support the
Network-Cross Functional Team (N-CFT) Capability Set approach to achieve the Army's Network Modernization Strategy.
The Mounted Computing Environment (MCE) supports N-CFT LOE 2 by providing:
- Critical Interoperability features that bridge the communications gap between the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) and Mobile Handheld Computing
Environment (Nett Warrior)
- Data mediation, message format translation, and waveform exchanges across all CEs delivering improved information dissemination
- Mounted Common Operating Picture (COP) data sources, shared blue / red situational awareness, and Position / Location Information across the CEs
- Common, reusable services that enable Warfighting Function (WfF) convergence for rapid capability development and delivery with reduced costs for external PORs
- Mounted platform data sensor collection, processing, and disbursement applications that enable and enhance WfFs on the battlefield
- Foundational Cross-Cutting Capabilities (CCCs) that integrate with Joint C5ISR and strike capabilities
The MCE, which is one of six Computing Environments (CE) under the COE, internally develops and hosts applications (apps) developed by programs external to
Project Manager Mission Command (PM MC) to provide robust WfF capabilities. MCE RDTE funding is executed to develop Mounted Mission Command-Software
(MMC-S) (described below) to enable these convergence efforts.
Requirements for MMC-S (MCE) are established in the Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC)-approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document
(IS ICD) and the MCE Requirements Definition Package (RDP). MMC-S will support the next-generation network, transceiver, and more mature cross-Computing
Environment (CE) interfaces.

At the Materiel Development Decision (MDD) review, the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) signed an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) in June 2020
designating MMC-S as an ACAT II program of record (POR) under the MCE RDP.
MMC-S employs a Developmental Operations (DevOps) process to incrementally develop capability to satisfy Warfighter requirements and inform fielding decisions.
DevOps activities will incorporate new capabilities and enhancements driven by the RDP and based on user feedback. Furthermore, MMC-S will provide the foundation
to support third-party application convergence onto the MMC-S baseline. MMC-S utilizes the Android Tactical Assault Kit (TAK), which is a geospatial infrastructure and
military situational awareness application that allows for precision targeting, surrounding land formation intelligence, situational awareness, navigation, and data sharing.
FY 2022 funding supports the continued development of the MMC-S baseline, version 3.1, for a Development Test (DT) and Capability Set 23 (CS23) Operational
Demonstration (Op Demo) culminating in a Limited Deployment Decision in 4QFY22. Furthermore, FY 2022 funding begins the second phase of MMC-S development,
version 3.2, and implementation of new capabilities to support additional networks and bolster cross-Computing Environment (CE) interfaces. These efforts are aligned
to CS23.
FY 2023 MCE RDTE funding has been realigned to JBC-P (PE 0604805A, Proj 593). These funds will support continued MMC-S development as part of the MMC
Family of Systems (MMC FoS) strategy for modernizing and replacing the JBC-P capability. Consolidating the RDTE funding enables agile development and flexibility in
support of the MMC FoS.

D. Acquisition Strategy
MCE is the Army's initiative to provide simple and intuitive Mission Command on-the-Move (MCoTM) and situational awareness down to the platoon level. It is standards
based, protected, and supports incremental improvements and WfF app capability enhancements. MMC-S leverages existing JBC-P hardware and network, and
is deployed as a SW only upgrade to replace JBC-P SW. The MMC-Software will exploit the MMC-Transport (BFT 3 network) and hardware capability-maturation,
continuously enhancing capabilities, security, and network resiliency that outpaces adversarial countermeasures and threats. MMC-S provides a common user-
experience that enables leaders to lead and fight their formations from anywhere on the battlefield. MMC-S serves as the data mediator between disparate CEs, the
Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) and the Mobile Handheld Computing Environment (Nett Warrior), enabling seamless Mission Command and Common
Operating Picture (COP) generation across all three CEs.
MMC-S utilizes an incremental development approach, leveraging DevOps, to ensure capability is delivered quickly, satisfies requirements, and addresses Warfighter
feedback. This agile development process injects enhancements into the baseline software, making it easier and faster to incorporate technological advances. The
product office conducts commercial software assessments to determine applicability and suitability for inclusion in the MMC-S baseline.
Software development increments and fielding decisions are agile and are programmatically aligned with the two-year Army Capability Sets within the five-year
Requirements Development Package (RDP; i.e. - IT Box). MMC-S is developed in Capability Assessment Packages (CAP), which are small groupings of requirements
and capability that are manageable, tailorable, and scalable to meet Warfighter needs. The CAPS are developed by the Lead Systems Integrator (LSI) in three to
twelve month timeframes. Collections of CAPs form MMC-S Engineering Releases (ER) / Capability Drops (CDs), which build upon one another leading to a complete
incremental release (i.e. version 3.1). Incremental releases will be fielded with the Army Capability Sets. LDD in 4QFY22 for Increment v3.1 is aligned to CS23. Full
Deployment Decision (FDD) for MMC-S v3.1 is scheduled for 4QFY23. FDD for MMC-S v3.2 is scheduled for 4QFY24, aligned to CS25. FDD for MMC-S v3.3 is
scheduled for 4QFY26, aligned to CS27.
At the Materiel Development Decision (MDD) review, the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) signed an Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) in June 2020
designating MMC-S as an ACAT II program of record (POR) under the MCE RDP.
Beginning with FY 2023, the Army has realigned MCE RDT&E funding for the development of the Mounted Mission Command - Software (MMC-S) from this line to the
JBC- P RDTE line (PE 0604805A/Proj 593). These funds will support continued MMC-S development as part of the MMC Family of Systems (MMC FoS) strategy for
modernizing and replacing the JBC-P capability. Consolidating the RDTE funding enables agile development and flexibility in support of the MMC FoS.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional
Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy.
TROPO: Tactical Enhancement supports the evaluation and testing requirements for Troposcatter Transmission (TROPO) capabilities procured and fielded under the
Signal Modernization (SIGMOD) funding line, B00010. TROPO will provide redundancy communications in a Satellite denied environment by providing improved Line of
Sight and beyond line of sight radio systems.
Enables Mission Command in a Satellite Denied environment by providing Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capability over longer ranges and at higher throughput than the
current BLOS System. TROPO extends the network by utilizing a significantly reduced SWaP radio verses the current system. TROPO will enable Army units to reduce
reliance on costly satellite bandwidth.
COMMAND POST NETWORKING: Enables Command Post networking capabilities by providing communications solutions to enable a more survivable Command Post
against near peer advisories. The solutions will utilize advanced waveform and antenna improvements to decrease radio frequency detection and interception in the
battlefield and will be integrated onto the appropriate platforms to increase Command Post survivability.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Project EQ8 - The Common Operating Environment (COE) is an approved set of computing technologies and standards that enables secure and interoperable
applications to be developed and executed rapidly across a variety of computing environments. The Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (M/HHCE) is one of
the six computing environments under the COE, which provides the standards for all Army hand held applications enabling the use of common End User Devices by
Soldiers, thereby eliminating redundant devices and reducing the Soldiers' load.
Nett Warrior (NW) and Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) are the instantiation of the M/HHCE and comply with the technical standards documented
by the M/HHCE and provide the dismounted common computational platform for other products relevant to dismounted Soldiers. Through compliance with the M/
HHCE, software applications from other programs are integrated with the NW and IVAS systems, reducing the need for duplicate hardware resulting in reduced Soldier
Load. The M/HHCE is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) 1 (Unified Network). M/HHCE also supports the Army Network
Modernization Strategy LOE 2 (Common Operating Environment). These efforts are aligned to the Army's Tactical Network Capability Set development and fielding
plans by utilizing (1) interoperable data, message, and waveforms, (2) sensors and applications that enable operations across domains and (3) integration with Joint
C4ISR and strike capabilities. NW leverages commercial smart phone devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission
command and situational awareness capability for use during combat operations. NW applied feedback from conventional and Special Operations units to procure and
implement Secret and Secure But Unclassified (SBU) networking equipment for BCTs and the Security Force Assistance Brigades to enable faster, more flexible Mission
Command data exchanges with Joint and Coalition forces while maintaining the existing integrated mission command capability with Mounted CE (e.g., JBCP) system.
NW uses Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Non Developmental (NDI) computational & communication equipment to create a robust and flexible Integrated
Tactical Network that enables faster and more accurate decision making in fights at the tactical level.
Requirements for the M/HH CE are established in the AROC approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document (IS ICD), the M/HHCE Requirements
Definition Package (RDP), and the NW Capability Development Document in lieu of Capability Production Document. M/HHCE is a signature effort under the Network
CFT (Common Operating Environment focused on dismounted Soldier). The Network CFT is one of the six Army modernization priorities per Army Modernization
Strategy 2019. M/HHCE employs a Developmental Operations (DevOps) process to incrementally develop capability over time to satisfy requirements and meet fielding
decisions. FY 2023 funding will continue DevOps activities to incorporate new capability and enhancements based on user feedback, as well as lay the groundwork
to support migration of third-party applications onto the M/HHCE software baselines. Additionally, FY 2023 funding provides for integration/test equipment and risk
reduction events/preparation to support Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) scheduled for 2QFY23.

D. Acquisition Strategy
To capitalize on commercial industry's investment in advanced smart device technology as well as innovation and changes within Army, Nett Warrior (NW) and IVAS
require annual RDT&E funding for integration and evaluation of new technology. Through this process and at low cost, the Army is able to integrate and evaluate for
combat utility the hundreds of millions spent in product development by the major commercial device manufactures. The NW and IVAS programs provide situational
awareness and mission command to dismounted combat leaders through secure smart devices, a central power source, cables and the Integrated Tactical Network
voice and data transport layers. NW and IVAS fund development and evaluation of new technology and software integration through a combination of competitively
awarded contracts and Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs). Various existing follow on procurement contracts are utilized to procure a combination of COTs and

Note
Command Post Integrated Infrastructure (CPI2) is executed in a two Increment approach. Increment 0 scope is aligned to the Command Post (CP) Directed
Requirement (DR) signed 14 Dec 2017. Increment 0 is to develop a CPI2 design on the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) based platforms and experiment
with a Stryker based, Mobile Command Group. Increment 1 scope is aligned to the CPI2 CDD and extends CPI2 capability designs onto the Stryker, AMPV, and JLTV
platforms.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network, Modernization Priority 1. This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line
of Effort (LOE) #4 Command Post.
The Command Post Integrated Infrastructure (CPI2) program addresses the Army requirements for more mobile, scalable, interoperable, and agile command posts.
Currently fielded command posts are too large and take too long to setup and teardown making them vulnerable to near peer detection and targeting technologies. By
integrating mission command warfighting functions onto formation appropriate vehicle platforms, a dispersed command post construct will enable the battle staff to blend
in with the overall maneuver formation while giving the commander the ability to synchronize the close fight on the move. This dispersed mobile command post consists
of Mission Command Platforms (MCPs) and Command Post Support Vehicles (CPSVs). The MCP is a formation appropriate vehicle that provides digital workstations
for all mission command warfighting functions. The CPSV is the hub of the dispersed command post; it hosts mission command servers, radios, local area network
components and a secure wireless capability. Specific to Corps/Div, CPI2 will provide a Mobile Command Group (MCG) hosted on formation appropriate platforms for
Corps and Div. The MCG provides Commanders and Staff with the ability to employ high priority functions while on the move.
Increment 0 experimentation will design and prototype a MCP and CPSV capability for two Brigade Combat teams (BCT's), a Division Main, and a Division MCG.
Increment 0 focuses on integrating CPI2 MCP and CPSV capability on the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) platforms and shelter systems to provide mobile
capability and increased survivability to the Command Post. The MCP and CPSV prototypes were evaluated and tested via 3 Operational Assessments which provided
soldier feedback and data to inform an Increment 0 Milestone C decision for a limited production set of 5 BCTs. Division Main and Division MCG tests will inform Inc 1
designs and potentially drive future requirement updates as how best to execute CPI2 at the Division Main.
Increment 1 initiated at Milestone B (ADM signed June 2021); with a focus on the development and prototype/testing of the MCP/CPSV/MCG for formation-appropriate
platforms (Stryker, AMPV and JLTV) that were not addressed in Increment 0. These combined capabilities will enable the Army to employ command posts across
the operational spectrum, from early entry to major combat operations that will resolve current command post issues with set up and tear down, survivability, mobility,
suitability and footprint.

Remarks
D. Acquisition Strategy
The CPI2 Materiel Development Decision (MDD) Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) was signed on 21 June 2018 and directs CPI2 to be executed in two
Increments. Increment 0 will deliver an initial capability of CPI2 for 5 Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) in alignment with a signed Directed Requirement (Dec 2017);
utilizing the Army Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) as the primary mover. Increment 1 will expand on Inc 0 to deliver CPI2 to to a select 86 Army units per
approved Capability Development Document (CDD) signed April 2020. Inc 1 expands CPI2 capability to Stryker, AMPV and JLTV vehicle platforms.
Increment 0 development is focused on the design/development of a Mission Command Platform (MCP) and a Command Post Support Vehicle (CPSV) on Family
of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) platforms and associated shelter systems to develop a more mobile, survivable command post. The capability developed will
address a Brigade Combat Team (BCT), a Division Main and a platform based Mobile Command Group (MCG) to one Division. Increment 0 prototypes and integrates
available Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), as well as Government Programs of Record (PoR) equipment, that provide mission command and communications
functions within the command post. Increment 0 is working with the Government and Industry to capitalize on experiences with mobile Command Posts (CP). CPI2
Increment 0 developed BCT #1 through experimentation conducted with Combat Capabilities Development Center (CCDC) via a Functional Support Agreement (FSA).
CPI2 executed a full and open competition under Other Transaction Authority (OTA) to award a contract for design and prototyping the MCP/CPSV for BCT #2. The
government and industry led designs for the FMTV based MCP/CPSV were tested through three Operational Assessments. The results from these events provide data
necessary to inform an Increment 0 Milestone C decision (FY22), which will then authorize production of 3 new BCT's and any necessary updates/retrofit to the first two
experimental units to satisfy the scope of the CP DR to deliver 5 BCTs of CPI2 capability.

The Division Main effort is executed via an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. CPI2 development with a Stryker based Mobile Command Group
(MCG) to 1 Division via an FSA with Project Manager (PM) Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT). The Division Main and MCG serve to provide a baseline for user
inputs for any future CPI2 CDD updates. Any production decisions for Division and MCG would be addressed in the Increment 1 Milestone C (FY24).
Increment 1 will execute requirements of the CDD to replace designated legacy command post systems at Corps, Division, Brigades, Battalions and select Multi-
Functional Support Brigades (MFSB). The approved Increment 1 Milestone B (Acquisition Decision Memorandum signed June 2021) authorized CPI2 to begin prototype
development not addressed in Increment 0; specifically for design and test of Stryker, JLTV and AMPV vehicle platforms for formation appropriate MCP, CPSV and
MCG. CPI2 will award funds on existing Programs of Record (PoR) contracts for the design/development of these platforms.
The Increment 1 Milestone C decision will initiate LRIP production and fielding of CPI2 FMTV platforms and shelter systems. CPI2 will pursue a full and open award
to contract with industry for the engineering, installation and production of the MCP/CPSV/MCG solution for vehicle platforms and shelter systems. An operational test
will be conducted to asses CPI2 on the FMTV platform prior to a Full Rate Production decision. CPI2 will be responsible for delivering CPI2 equipment to the vendor for
installation. Vehicle platforms will be supplied to CPI2; funded and provided by the existing Army vehicle PoR contracts. Due to the differing durations for development
of the formation appropriate platforms (Stryker, AMPV, JLTV); each PoR will assess the CPI2 solution via their individual Functional Qualification Test (FQT). Upon
successful test, CPI2 will coordinate with the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) to request authority to fund the CPI2 installation vendor via Engineering Change
Proposal (ECP) to accommodate installation on the Stryker, AMPV, and JLTV platforms.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
This funding line provides support to the Army's Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional
Team (CFT) capability set approach to achieve the Army's Network Modernization strategy and initiatives.
UTR supports the Army Network Plan Framework objective to deliver a Standards Based Network Architecture. This will enable the modernization of the Mission
Command Network through the coordination of a common set of network operations tools and infrastructure development supporting the unit communication staff's
ability to Manage the Network through the (1) development of an integrated planning tool suite to improve Signal Soldiers ability to plan and develop configurations for
upcoming operations and deployments; (2) development of tools and technology that provide a means to deliver configurations with little to no manual involvement by
the Soldier and (3) replacement of stove-piped management systems with integrated tools that provide a consolidated, as well as detailed, view of the network and its
components.
The total cost of the Unified Network Operations (UNO) Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $84.352 million RDT&E from FY19 to FY24. The remainder (FY23-24)
of the $31.397 million for UNO MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) policy for MTA funding, UNO MTA will leverage funds from 654818/EW3 and 654818/EK9 to achieve its required funding levels.
FY 2023 UTR funding will be used to continue development of network components that support centralized data, security, and information exchanges; continue
development of Radio Planning capabilities in order to plan and create configuration files for emerging Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) radios and waveforms; continue
development of network device and provisioning systems; and continue the development of a network manager that monitors and displays network health status,
performance, location and security to local operator.
B. Accomplishments/Planned Programs ($ in Millions)
FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023
Title: Network Provisioning
Description: UTR is implementing tools and technology to reduce the amount of time and troops required to provision network
devices with configurations developed during the planning process. This provides a means to deliver configurations without
requiring manual involvement by the Soldier, and for devices to report configuration and operational status in accordance with
the Standards Based Architecture. The Rapid Provisioning Systems (RPS) Master Node installation in the Mission Command
Support Center (MCSC) in FY 20 provided Integrated global patch management capabilities into across Brigade Combat Teams
