BREAKING IT DOWN, FAST
A Soldier from the Delaware Army National Guard’s 198th ESB breaks down commercial coalition equipment during a PM WIN-T logistics demonstration in February at APG. The expeditionary tactical network technologies at the center of the log demo are designed to provide significantly more capability in small packages.
increased capability in small deployable packages
Te that Soldiers can set up and
tear down rapidly for improved agility, enabling units to apply this new technol- ogy where the enemy will least expect it.
Te SigMod tool suite includes the versatile CCE, which is packed in an easy-to-deploy, suitcase-sized transit case. Te CCE provides secure expeditionary network connectivity for coalition, non- secure internet protocol router, secure internet protocol router and commercial networks. It can be reconfigured rapidly to provide secure tactical access to the coalition or commercial network to sup- port both civil and military operations.
Additionally, CCE provides a radio bridging voice cross-banding capability that enables radios on different frequen- cies, or different equipment like radios or cellphones, to connect seamlessly to one another. Tis is essential in domes- tic humanitarian disaster response or coalition operations where countries and organizational entities use different equipment.
MCN-AE
uses
the
same
network-agnostic hardware as the CCE, reconfigured to enable intelligence users to connect to all the same resources they would typically expect when using the Army’s separate intelligence network—in this case using a unit’s organic WIN-T tactical network equipment instead. Te MCN-AE is significantly smaller than the tactical elements of the Army’s sepa- rate Trojan SPIRIT intelligence system (a large truck and trailer), and can be used to augment the intelligence community in areas where the standard equipment is not available.
Secure Wi-Fi uses National Security
Agency-approved “commercial solutions for classified”
capability to provide
secure classified and unclassified Wi-Fi inside the command post. Going wire- less can reduce command post setup and teardown times by hours and reduce the amount of cable with protective flooring that needs to be transported from location to location. It also can untether Soldiers from their workstations for improved col- laboration. Most importantly, it reduces network downtime significantly. Units
can turn on their Wi-Fi hotspot and see the network come up first instead of last, in minutes instead of hours. Soldiers can stay connected longer when relocating their command post.
Te secure 4G LTE capability will support a larger footprint surrounding the com- mand post. Tis technology will extend flexible communications and reduce the weight Soldiers carry as they transition from bulky radios to smartphones.
Te WIN-T SigMod tool includes
suite also the easy-to-deploy, high-
bandwidth terrestrial transmission line- of-sight radio and the range- extending troposcatter transmission capability, each of which will have separate log demos.
All of the SigMod capabilities are
designed to make it easier for Soldiers to set up, operate, troubleshoot and maintain the equipment. As the Army continues to shrink the number of FSRs in the field, reducing system complexity is key to enabling units to support their own network systems.
