TAUNTON, Mass.: The US Army is planning a pilot effort for early next year to learn more about future on-the-move communications needs of armored brigades, as the service continues to modernize its network in preparation for more distributed operations of the future.
The pilot effort, which will feature both mature and immature mobile technologies, will collect technical data and soldier feedback to help inform Capability Set ‘25, a future set of network upgrades that will deliver advanced network tools to armored brigades in fiscal year 2025, Army officials told reporters last week.
The Army’s tactical network team — made up of the Network Cross-Functional Team and its acquisition arm Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical — is modernizing the Army’s tactical network for infantry, Stryker and armored brigades through the capability set program.
