ACQUISITION AT SPEED
The capability set process calls for open-systems architectures that enable easier integration of future modernization efforts, as well as systems that are more intuitive and Soldier-centric in nature.
an initial report similar to a formal traditional capabilities and limitations report. In addition to informing capability-set designs, this data will also be fed to the Army capability manag- ers to inform future armored formation network on-the-move requirements. As we look closely at the Soldier feedback and data collected during the pilot and follow-on integration and assess- ment efforts, we’ll gain an even better understanding of what we will need to deliver in support of armored formation network modernization. Decisions such as equipment density, which vehi- cles should get what solutions, and the most affordable balance of satellite communications and line-of-sight for the equipment sets will all play a role.
Te CS25 preliminary design review in April provided the initial design draft. Following additional assessments and Soldier touch- point events, the CS25 critical design review will be conducted next year and will solidify the CS25 baseline capabilities to enable fielding of initial systems. In the future, the agile and incremen- tal capability-set process will enable us to enhance that baseline if Soldier feedback warrants it or if evolving technologies become mature enough to be procured.
Solutions will be Soldier-centric, drawn from feedback of Soldiers in the field. Tey will increase network resiliency and the mobil- ity, survivability and lethality of armored formations to enable successful resolution of future multidomain missions.
