ACQUISITION AT SPEED
CONVOY ENABLED
The 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division drives a convoy of satellite and line-of-sight commercial network prototypes that enable on-the-move network communications and mission command during the Army’s Armored Formation On-The-Move Network pilot, at Fort Stewart, Georgia, on Feb. 7.

continually modernize our network to retain technological overmatch. Te Army’s former test-intensive, full capability acquisition strategy that was used for decades would not have enabled us to keep up with the increasing speed of technology. At the time, we had been fielding mobile network capability, known as Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 2, integrated onto combat platforms for infantry units, and we were looking at how to design, test and integrate those capabilities into armored platforms. Although the requirements for mobile network connectivity for armored formations were still there, we temporarily halted our efforts to pivot to the new network modernization capability-set strategy.
A NEW PARADIGM Trough the Army’s current network modernization capability-set strategy, we are now delivering a network that addresses critical operational shortfalls and enables future multidomain opera- tions. Instead of delivering singular stove-piped systems across the force, solutions are now part of a suite of capabilities—with
Solutions will be Soldier-centric, drawn from feedback of Soldiers in the field.
open standards—and enable commanders to tailor capabilities to different operational environments and missions. Tese capa- bility sets and associated technology are fielded on an iterative two-year basis that began with CS21 in fiscal year 2021. Each set builds on the previous set by integrating new commercial tech- nologies, aligning Army science and technology for transition into new programs, and leveraging Soldier feedback and exper- imentation early and often in the process.
Te iterative capability-set process enables us to deliver current and emerging network capabilities in a way that we don’t disrupt our ability to “fight tonight” or maintain decision dominance on
