The two-channel HMS Manpack will run voice and video using SRW and will be assessed for its ability to provide live UAS video feeds to platoon vehicles and dismounted forces. The HMS Manpack will also be assessed on its ability to access Secure Internet Protocol Router email and the Tactical Ground Reporting (TIGR) database, as well as the operational ben- efit of providing this capability to platoon vehicles on the move. Updated versions of WNW and SRW will also be tested in NIE 12.1 as well as the initial phase of the JTRS Enterprise Network Man- ager, combining the capabilities of the WNW and SRW Network Managers into a single system. We will also add commer- cially developed JTRS radios that have integrated JTRS networking capabilities,


TESTING THE NETWORK

for the first time using software from our Information Repository through the JTRS Enterprise Business Model in NIE 12.1.


A WHOLE NEW APPROACH The bottom line is that the Army is mak- ing significant changes in how we evaluate and integrate capabilities—both programs of record as well as non-programs of record—for a total networked Force.


Individual success for hardware systems such as WIN-T, GMR, and HMS, or for networking waveforms such as WNW and SRW, is no longer sufficient. They must work together seamlessly along with the critical content that rides the net- work, including battlefield applications


such as JCR and TIGR, while proving operational relevance when placed in Soldiers’ hands.


As part of the Agile Process, the NIE concept provides the Army with a frame- work to incrementally and systematically deploy new networking capabilities and technologies with reduced risks, reduced costs, and greater efficiency. This is an effective and essential change in the way we do business.
