Mission — Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (M/HHCE) source

Project EQ8, Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (M/HHCE) enables situational awareness (SA) and command and control (C2) for dismounted combat forces through the Nett Warrior (NW) system. M/HH CE utilizes Government-owned Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) as a foundation for integrating a wide array of functional software, such as UAV planning/control, casualty care and logistics. Future versions of NW and TAK will form the SA/C2 baseline for Next Gen C2 dismounted forces. The NW system provides leaders electronic real-time information on friendly positions; information about enemy activity and movement; navigational data and map imagery; a collaborative planning tool; and other mission related graphics which effectively puts the power of the entire Army tactical network in the hands of the dismounted leader. Nett Warrior (NW) and Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) are the instantiation of the M/HHCE and comply with the technical standards documented by the M/HHCE and provide the dismounted common computational platform for other products relevant to dismounted Soldiers. Through compliance with the M/HHCE, software applications from other programs are integrated with the NW and SBMC systems, reducing the need for duplicate hardware resulting in reduced Soldier Load. The M/HHCE is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) 1 (Unified Network).

These efforts are aligned to the Army's Tactical Network Capability Set development and fielding plans by utilizing (1) interoperable data, message, and waveforms, (2) sensors and applications that enable operations across domains and automated tools to aid decision-making and (3) integration with Joint C4ISR and strike capabilities. NW leverages commercial smart phone devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission command and situational awareness capability for use during combat operations. NW applied feedback from conventional and Special Operations units to procure and implement Secret and Secure But Unclassified (SBU) networking equipment for Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) and the Security Force Assistance Brigades to enable faster, more flexible Mission Command data exchanges with Joint and Coalition forces while maintaining the existing integrated mission command capability with Mounted CE (e.g., Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) or Mounted Mission Command (MMC)) system. NW uses Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Non-Developmental Item (NDI) computational & communication equipment to support Next Gen C2 and enable faster and more accurate decision making in fights at the tactical level. Requirements for the M/HHCE are established in the Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document (IS ICD), the M/HHCE Requirements Definition Package (RDP), and the NW Capability Development Document in lieu of Capability Production Document. M/HHCE is a signature effort under the Network CFT (Common Operating Environment focused on dismounted Soldier). The Network CFT is one of the six Army modernization priorities per Army Modernization Strategy 2019. M/HHCE employs a Developmental and Security Operations (DevSecOps) process to incrementally develop capability over time to satisfy requirements and meet fielding decisions. FY 2026 funding will continue DevSecOps activities to incorporate new capability and enhancements based on user feedback and address provisioning of the Windows operating system in the Watchtower mobile device management system.

Mission — Expeditionary Army Command Post source

This funding supports the Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems, Infrastructure layer. Command posts provide locations from which commanders, assisted by their staffs, command operations and integrate/synchronize combat power to accomplish missions across the range of military operations. Commanders organize mission command systems into command posts based on mission requirements and the situation that will best assist them in exercising command and control of assigned and attached forces. Command post survivability is vital to mission success. Depending on the threat, command posts need to remain small and highly mobile, especially at echelons below Division. Command posts are easily acquired and targeted by our adversaries when concentrated. Command post survivability is increased via dispersion, reduced size, redundancy, mobility, as well as camouflage and concealment. Command post survivability is further enhanced via dismounted operations that can take advantage of cover or shielding by terrain features or urban structures FY2026 funding supports modernization efforts of command post capabilities, with a focus on continuous improvements for on the move operations, modular command posts, and survivability. Funding also provides for safety testing, logistical support and program management.
