General Dynamics C4 Systems Participates in Army Exercise (7/21/10)
During a recent U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team Integration exercise, General Dynamics C4 Systems-led programs demonstrated networking and communications capabilities that connected command posts, on-the-move forces and dismounted soldiers.
During the exercise, widely dispersed Army units exchanged command-and-control messages, location information, voice, electronic chat and imagery while on the move. Using the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Soldier Radio Waveform and involving sensors, aerial platforms, vehicles and command posts, the seamless, ad-hoc networking extended connectivity to dismounted soldiers for the first time.
The four-day exercise featured seven realistic mission scenarios that demonstrated how the Army’s Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (WIN-T) and JTRS can work with key battle command applications to increase force effectiveness across a variety of missions and terrain.
The exercise, staged at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, was designed to show the increased effectiveness of brigades equipped with high-throughput wireless networking to the tactical edge. Range was extended through Manpack radios and through the integration of an aerial tier using other JTRS HMS radios, demonstrating the usability and functionality of key equipment in rugged desert and mountain environments.
