CCDC’S ROAD MAP TO MODERNIZING THE ARMY: THE NETWORK
MONITORING THE SITUATION
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment used its on-the-move Tactical Network Transport during a live-fire exercise at Rose Barracks, Germany. The core Tactical Network Transport equipment is the backbone of the Army’s upper tactical internet and supports mission command functions with a full range of voice, video and data communication.

previous experiments, and examined how integrated cyberspace, electronic warfare, intelligence, space and information oper- ations could help a brigade combat team gain and maintain the advantage against a regional peer in multidomain opera- tions. Te close collaboration between the NetMod X 2019 partners during the S&T demonstrations led to new tactics, techniques and procedures for cyber elec- tromagnetic activities that the TRADOC Cyber Center of Excellence will develop.
Cyber Blitz 2019, which is scheduled for September, will be executed in concert with the Army’s Orient Shield exercise as part of its plan to expedite the maturation of cyber technologies and doctrine. Tis will be one of the first concrete examples of cyber materiel development and exper- imentation linking up with an actual Army-level exercise.
TEAMING WITH THE NETWORK CFT The C5ISR and ARL teams work closely with the Network Cross- Functional Team, the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications – Tactical and other S&T representatives to align the portfo- lio to balance risk and innovation and to resolve technically challenging prob- lems. To support near- and mid-term S&T technology, CCDC replanned and modified 38 projects during development of the Program Objective Memorandum for the 2020-2024 fiscal years with the Network Cross-Functional Team in order to reprogram funding to speed network development. Aligning programming to support objectives will enable us to effectively transition S&T to programs of record.
While CCDC is responsible for most of the S&T funding in the network portfolio, partnerships with the Engineer Research and Development Center, the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, as well as DARPA, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Agency and other services, have been key in identifying joint opportunities for network modernization and interoperability improvements.
Because the network touches all of the modernization priorities, the Network Cross-Functional Team is horizontally integrated with all of the cross-functional teams. Tis enables us to capture the inter- dependencies of all of the cross-functional teams to help inform the network design, and enables the teams to leverage techni- cal successes to develop the “best of the best” technology.
