Army Modernization

2. 2 We are living in challenging times. Our nation is engaged in a protracted, full spectrum conflict � a long war that has already outlasted the duration of WWII. We are clearly fighting against adaptive, asymmetric threats and every day our Soldiers are executing tactical missions that have strategic implications. Global trends have dramatically changed the character and conduct of conflict Failed states become sanctuaries for diverse, non-state actors that possess global reach. Hybrid threats that employ dynamic combinations of conventional, irregular, terrorist, and criminal capacities in an asymmetric manner operate across the spectrum of conflict. Although the possibility of state-on-state confrontation still exists as the greatest threat to our national security; 21st century conflict will tend to be irregular conflicts waged �among the people.� Addressing these regional challenges with global implications will require working closely with interagency and multinational partners in a whole of government approach to address not only the threat, but the conditions that create instability. The only certainty is the unpredictable nature of future conflict. We will not know where, when or how adversaries will challenge our national security. We are living in challenging times.

3. 3 Slide 3 - Spectrum of Operations in 21st Century Key Message: The importance of the Army�s new operational concept -- Full Spectrum Operations � and its relation to FCS, and why all of this is so crucial to them in their new jobs You need to understand Full Spectrum Operations � these demands are being placed at the small unit level. So now, in your current position as Army action officers, how are you doing training, leadership development, resourcing? Flow of Key Points: To develop the future force, you must place it in context. This graphic provides a framework to view the continuum of military operations. The framework for this continuum has three components: 1) Spectrum of conflict - across top of chart 2) Operational themes - center from left to right Full spectrum operations - bottom of chart where we employ simultaneous combinations of offense, defense, and stability operations (*This is where the enemy gets to vote) Traditionally, the military assumed a greater role as we moved towards the right in armed conflict and, conversely, was minimized as the diplomatic, informational, and economic arms interacted more significantly to drive a more stable and secure operating environment. In the past, our military was designed, resourced, built, and trained to win in the major combat end of the framework. The thought was if we can do this well, we can do it all. However, the 21st Century environment presents a situation where the military role is increasing greatly in the lesser forms of conflict compared to that of the other elements of national power. We must now build a force for the 21st Century continuum and shift our weight across the spectrum of conflict. We must design, develop and resource Army forces for each unit to operate across the entire spectrum of conflict with little augmentation. Of course, the breadth of this approach presents physical and mental challenges. To achieve full spectrum capable land forces, we are moving from a platform centric modernization strategy to one that focuses on an organization�s overall capabilities. We need to think about what kinds of capabilities these organizations need� Slide 3 - Spectrum of Operations in 21st Century Key Message: The importance of the Army�s new operational concept -- Full Spectrum Operations � and its relation to FCS, and why all of this is so crucial to them in their new jobs You need to understand Full Spectrum Operations � these demands are being placed at the small unit level.

5. Rapidly field equipment to the Current Force Upgrade equipment for Soldiers going into combat and modernize selected systems Incorporate new Capability Packages to all Brigade Combat Teams Modernize Brigade Combat Teams 5 Army Modernization Strategy

6. The Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) modernization strategy is focused on building a versatile mix of mobile, networked BCTs that can leverage mobility, protection, information, and precision fires to conduct effective full spectrum operations across the spectrum of conflict. This is how we will do it: Move away from the FCS program to a BCT Modernization Strategy immediately Develop a motorized concept incorporating MRAP and UAH into our formations Field Capability Packages to all 73 BCTs with the Network by 2025 Develop a Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) concept focused on building a versatile vehicle that incorporates the lessons of the last 7 years of war. The intention is to field the GCV in 5-7 years from contract award Develop the requirement for the Network and the capability packages Preserve key technologies developed in FCS to deliver them to the force BCT Modernization Strategy 6

16. Network Challenges Requirements: Decomposed requirements from ORD and CDD to lowest level to ensure consistency of functionality and preliminary design of the network. A technical baseline must be founded on network requirements AND analysis. Unified Battle Command (UBC): Need defined requirements and signed MOA. E2E performance: �Determine� or �Define� performance estimates for latency, message completion rate, network availability/reliability/quality, bandwidth allocation, communication and sensing ranges, area of coverage, timeliness (e.g., publish rates, start up and recovery times, etc. ) Scalability: Scalability of E2E network design up to the BCT level. Interoperability: E2E network design must address interoperability with Current Force Army, GiG, and Joint. Spectrum, Routing, and Addressing: Availability of sufficient spectrum and addressing allocations to support the entire BCT (includes ability of Network Management System to adapt to dynamic spectrum constraints).

17. Network Challenges (Cont) Transport Capabilities: Degraded/off-nominal modes of operation (e.g. urban, jamming, variable terrain) Utilize the JTRS and WIN-T radios and waveforms Design constrained by network vulnerability and IA requirements Platform SWAP constraints Spectrum constraints Environmental constraints (shock, vibration, thermal) Schedules and availability of Complementary Programs (i.e., SRW 1.1c, WIN-T Increment 3) Functional/Performance
