the contractor base. Tus TYAD can make the most of its capabilities, which include full-spectrum logistics support for sustainment, overhaul


fabrication and manufacturing,


neering design and development, systems integration,


post-production software


support, technology insertion, modifica- tion, foreign military sales and global field support to warfighters across DOD.


To solidify this approach, the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications – Tactical


(PEO


C3T), which fields the Army’s tactical communications network, and TYAD entered into a formal agreement in Octo- ber 2015 designed to build collaboration, identify upcoming needs, conduct better life-cycle management and look for more partnership opportunities. Already,


the


recently formed Strategic Initiatives Inte- grated Process Team (IPT) is creating a comprehensive approach.


For example, the IPT—the first devel- oped with a PEO—enables the depot to help shape PEO C3T program depot maintenance strategies earlier in the planning process. With the IPT, a broad- based relationship is possible between TYAD and PEO C3T, allowing for the planning and execution of core depot maintenance requirements at TYAD for any of


the PEO’s weapon systems, accordance with existing statutes.


STRENGTHENING BONDS While good working relationships always existed at the individual program man- agement level, there was nothing in place that reached across the whole PEO and senior leadership at TYAD. Te IPT will close that gap.


By law, each service must ensure that the U.S. military retains critical core capabil- ities. A principle known as the 50/50 rule

IN-HOUSE SOLUTION


The Manpack Radio is the Army's first networking radio that provides two channels for communication, serving as a critical bridge in the Army network by connecting Soldiers at the company level and below with real-time voice and data. Mounted inside tactical vehicles or carried dismounted, the radio provides beyond line-of-sight connectivity through multiple waveforms. In 2014, the IPT created by PEO C3T and TYAD helped open lines of communication that resulted in a solution for a universal tray mount for the Manpack: a modification to an existing mount. Without the IPT, this effort could have gone out for solicitation instead. (U.S. Army photo)
