MULTIPLE PATHS LEAD TO NETWORK RESILIENCY: Army agencies work to improve satellite communications increasing network capabilities and ease of use for all Soldiers.

The article discusses the Army's efforts to improve satellite communications and increase network capabilities for soldiers. The Army recognizes the need for secure and resilient network communication options on the battlefield to enhance survivability and lethality. One approach is to increase the number of network communication pathways available to units, which makes the network more resilient. The Army is also developing the Next Generation Tactical Terminal (NGTT), which combines different capabilities into one system, reducing logistical burden and allowing soldiers to focus on the fight. Additionally, the Army is exploring a lease- versus-buy model for acquiring commercial satellite communications, which would provide scalability and reduce costs. The goal is to increase network capability while also simplifying its use, as many soldiers are not signal trained. The Army will continue to partner with industry to ensure that capabilities become simpler to use. [Extracted from the article]
