How will WIN-T, JTRS and other planned communications benefit the operational force, including the dismounted soldier?
These programs together will, for the first time ever, connect the soldier to the network. They will provide unprecedented information to the lowest levels in our Army, ultimately enabling battle command like never before. And our soldiers who have been fielded WIN-T Inc 1 are performing at the highest levels; they’re doing great with it. The future network strategy is designed to improve warfighter capabilities and ensure no capabilities are diminished in the process. The strategy centers on implementation of WIN-T and regional Network Service Center [NSC] capabilities, JTRS and SATCOM systems between 2009 and 2025. The strategy relies upon new complex wave forms and is aligned with the WIN-T program’s incremental implementation approach and schedule. By developing and fielding incremental capabilities for the network, the Army can improve near-term, warfighting capabilities while fully supporting the unique requirements that will be generated by the FCS program. In addition, incremen
