Description
Mission — Integrated Tactical Communications
This funding line supports the Army Next Generation Command Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems, Infrastructure layer. The Tactical Communication Network Evaluation (TCNE) project supports the Army's Command and Control (C2) Infrastructure by demonstrating and integrating networked systems at scale, aligned with the Army's modernization priorities. TCNE designs network architectures based on continuous warfighter feedback, focusing on the division as the unit of maneuver. This project utilizes continuous test and evaluation, incorporating Soldier feedback for Verification & Validation, to ensure range expectations, system performance, and interoperability are met. FY26 funding will support network architecture development through engineering analysis, lab-based testing, cyber electromagnetic activities, and user evaluations. This enables continuous transformation of the Army Network, achieving modernization "in contact" and creating a seamless, unified communication network. Testing will also address and mitigate cyber vulnerabilities within the Army's Tactical Network. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.898 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Program Management Support
Funding goes toward Program management, program execution, major events, reporting, funds execution, contract management, and logistical support. Includes participation in program planning and Integrated Product Team meetings.
Test and Evaluation
Evaluation will include a series of events to identify network capabilities, gaps and potential enhancements to improve mission effectiveness, lethality and interoperability with the Army Tactical network. The results of the events will facilitate the planning preparation, and coordination of the proposed system of system network architecture.
