    Te Army Modernization Plan 2012 (ModPlan12)supports the submission of the Fiscal Year 2012(FY12) Presidents Budget Request for Army Research,Development and Acquisition (RDA) equipmentfunds. Te ModPlan12 incorporates lessons learnedfrom almost a decade of conflict and provides detailsof what is required to develop, field and sustainequipment in an affordable, incremental manner.Trough its core competencies of combined armsmaneuver and wide area security, the Army mustcontinue to enable the United States to prevent anddeter conflict, prepare to defeat adversaries in futurecontingencies, prevail in conflicts that arise and

    preserve and enhance the All Volunteer Force.

    Te ModPlan12 summarizes how the Armysequipping RDA budget request is linked to theArmys strategy and reflects an affordable approachusing incremental modernization.

    Linking Resource Decisions to Army Strategy.oday we are faced with uncertain strategic andoperational environments coupled with decliningeconomic predictions. Te Armys modernization

    strategy and modernization plan reflect theseuncertainties and are nested with the Army strategy ofrotational readiness. Te Army uses the Army ForceGeneration (ARFORGEN) model to build a versatilemix of tailorable and networked organizations operatingon a rotational cycle to provide a sustained flow oftrained, equipped and ready forces at a tempo that ispredictable and sustainable.

    Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Priorities andObjectives. Te FY12 equipment budget requestreflects the Armys priority materiel programs andhighlights the criticalcapabilities we need to give ourSoldiers and units the decisive edge in full-spectrum

    operations. Tese strategy-based equipment prioritiesare needed to (1) Network the Force; (2) Deter andDefeat hybrid threats; and (3) Protect and EmpowerSoldiers. While preparing the FY12 PresidentsBudget Request, the Army made difficult decisionsto not resource promising and needed technologiesand capabilities that did not fit within current andprojected resource limitations.

    Equipment Portfolios. Each portfolio sectionprovides an overview, FY12 planned investmentsand portfolio accomplishments in FY10 and FY11.Te Equipment portfolios reflect the capabilities

    necessary to succeed in current operations and toprepare our Soldiers and units for future missions ina complex and unpredictable future.

    e Science and Technology Program. Tissection focuses on enabling capabilities thatempower, unburden and protect our Soldiers.It builds upon the priorities reflected in previousbudget requests with modest increases for forceprotection technologies, basic research, infraredfocal plane arrays and armor materials.

    Capability Fielding and Distribution. Tissection explains how the Army uses its EquippingStrategy to manage equipment and achieve thegoals of ensuring that Army units are equipped tomission and building operational depth.

    Te United States Army is the Nations principalmilitary force organized, trained and equippedfor prompt and sustained operations on land. Inconjunction with other services, Army forces areprepared to conduct a wide range of missions athome and abroad in support of national policy andin defense of Americas enduring national interests.

    Te Army of today is arguably the best this Nationhas ever fielded an innovative, professionalforce that has effectively adapted, while at war, tosucceed in current operations. Despite tremendousachievements over the last decade, the Army mustcontinue to adapt to changing conditions and newthreats with the recognition that one of the fewconstants in this world is change.

    Te Army must continue to build upon thelessons it learned during almost ten years of war,

    but we cannot be ruled by experience alone. Wemust evolve from the superb Army fighting todayin Iraq and Afghanistan to account for a worldwhich continues to change. Over the next decade,the United States will face adversaries who are alsoinformed by the lessons of todays conflicts and ourNation may confront additional challenges broughtabout by failed economies, toppled governmentsor devastating natural disasters. Trough its corecompetencies of combined arms maneuver and widearea security, the Army must continue to enable theUnited States to preventand deter conflict, prepareto defeat adversaries in future contingencies,prevailin conflicts that arise and preserveand enhance theAll Volunteer Force as a reflection of a free society.o succeed, the future Army must be organized tosupport our national strategy, trained to a high-degree of readiness for diverse missions, equipped

    to defeat any potential adversary and manned withexperienced, high-quality professionals. Additionally,the Army must set priorities, make prudent choicesand modernize in ways that provide the best possibleforce for the Nation, within available resources.

    Executing a strategy of prevent, prepare, prevail

    and preserve requires the Army to subject itsmajor programs to close scrutiny by measuringthem against its core competencies and requiredcapabilities to ensure the proper proportion ofeffort and emphasis. Te Army will have to findways to economize in all of these areas while alsomaintaining the quality, focus and professionalismof the All Volunteer Force.

    o be successful in an uncertain futureenvironment, the Army adopted rotational readinessusing the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN)model to build a versatile mix of tailorable andnetworked organizations operating on a rotationalcycle to provide a sustained flow of trained, equippedand ready forces for full-spectrum operations andto hedge against unexpected contingencies at atempo that is predictable and sustainable for our AllVolunteer Force.

    In support of its overall effort to developthe right force design and force mix in order toexecute a strategy of prevent, prepare, prevail and

    preserve the Armys strategy to equip the force inthe twenty-first century must similarly change. omeet the challenges of a new strategic, operationaland fiscal environment, the Army must develop andfield a versatile and affordable mix of equipmentto enable Soldiers and units to succeed in full-spectrum operations today and tomorrow and tomaintain our decisive advantage over any enemywe face.

    Versatile includes adaptable (to changingmissions and environments); expansible (able toadd, update or exchange capabilities in responseto changed circumstances); and networked (toenable interoperability within our formations andwith those of our partners). Affordable relatesto making fiscally informed decisions that providethe greatest capability value in accordance withsenior leader priorities, within projected resourcesand within acceptable risk parameters.

    In the past, the Armys Cold War-era tieredreadiness strategic construct for force generation,which had some units more ready in training andequipment than others, contained an inherent riskin delivering fully capable forces in time to meetdeployment needs. Te ARFORGEN Equippingsynchronizes the distribution of equipment to

    units in accordance with ARFORGEN to provide asteady and predictable supply of trained and readymodular forces. It focuses on providing capabilities

    required for anticipated missions to Soldiers insufficient time and quantities to enable them toprepare for those missions and then execute them.Te ARFORGEN equipping concept tailorscapabilities and resources to support relativelycertain near-term mission requirements withoutcommitting to extended production runs ormaintenance programs for equipment that maynot be relevant in the future.

    ransformational equipping strategies fromthe turn of the century were envisioned to skipmarginal technology improvements and orientedon game-changing or leap-ahead technologiesintended to revolutionize military operations.Incremental Modernizationenables us to delivernew and improved capabilities to the force byleveraging mature technologies, shorteningdevelopment times, planning growth potential andintegrating increments of those capabilities thatgive us the greatest advantage in the future while

    hedging against uncertainty. Tese technologiesshould include capabilities for power and energyto enable maneuver and freedom of action andto provide improved operational reach andendurance. In addition to expanding or improvingcapabilities by developing and fielding newtechnologies, the Army will continue to upgrade,improve and recapitalize existing capabilities whilesimultaneously divesting those capabilities deemedredundant or no longer required. By modernizingin an incremental manner, instead of purchasingequipment in quantities large enough to equipthe entire force, the Army is able to provide themost relevant versions of capabilities availableto units prior to deployment and then provideunits in follow on rotational cycles improvedor more relevant versions, once available. Afterdeployment, we repair, replace and recapitalize our

    As resilient as weve been in meeting thechallenges of this war, we must also begin toprepare for challenges of the second decade ofthis century and of this war, because this war isa long-term ideological struggle against violentextremism, and our job is not done yet.

    equipment and deliver it to units in the first orReset phase of the ARFORGEN cycle.

    Te Army is also working toward a trulycollaborative process for requirements, solutions andresources to prevent stovepipes, reduce redundanciesand determine areas for trade space. IntegratedPortfolios align equipping stakeholders to achievebalance within and across capabilities as envisionedin the Armys Operating Concept (Appendix C,RADOC Pam 525-3-1, 19 Aug 10). Equipmentportfolios support continuous assessment acrosscapability development, requirements, resourcing,

    acquisition, distribution, use and divestiture. Eachportfolio will have a strategy developed to providecontext; outline objectives, methods, metrics andvalues against which to judge success; describerequired resources to execute the strategy over thelife of the program; and discuss risk to includeoperational impacts if portfolio objectives are notmet. Implementing these strategies will enableportfolio stakeholders to assess current and proposedcapabilities against requirements; fuse and align themodernization community to ensure integration

    across the requirements, acquisition, sustainment andresourcing communities; and focus on affordability.

    Te Army Modernization Strategy (AMS),published in April 2010, describes our strategicrequirements and aligns the ends, ways and meansto develop and field a versatile and affordable mix ofthe best equipment available to enable Soldiers tosucceed in current and future complex operationalenvironments. Tis entails four lines of effort:

    Modernize. Develop and acquire newequipment or improve, upgrade or adaptexisting equipment to meet identifiedcapability gaps and to achieve dominancein core capabilities.

    Sustain. Close capability gaps or avoidcreating them by extending the useful life

    of existing equipment and divest or storeequipment providing little value.

    Mitigate. Procure mission-specificequipment for immediate capability needs.

    Field. Provide the appropriate quantityand type of equipment to Soldiers andunits at the proper time, in accordancewith the ARFORGEN model and Armypriorities, to enable training, preparationand employment for mission success.

    Tis document, ModPlan12, is informed by

    the AMS, reflects detailed near-term directionfrom Army senior leaders and presents a conciseplan focused on Army FY12 equipping budgetpriorities and portfolio overviews. Te ModPlan12incorporates lessons learned from almost a decadeof conflict and provides details of what is required

    to develop, field and sustain equipment in anaffordable, incremental manner to ensure ourSoldiers and units have the capabilities they needto be successful across the full range of militaryoperations today and into the future.

    ... Ive met with Soldiers serving in the very centerand at the very edges of freedom. ey understand

    the challenges we have, that we face as an Army,and as a Nation. eir expectations of us are assimple as they are profound. ey trust that we willprovide the resources necessary for them to succeedin the fights in which we are currently engaged;and, they trust that we will have the wisdom andresolve necessary to prepare them for the missionsunknown to us today, but which surely await us.

    For nearly a decade, the Army has beenoperating at a tremendous pace and the demandfor fully equipped forces has stressed our ability

    to meet the demand for much of this period. Teresult was a fully committed Army out-of-balancewith little strategic flexibility to respond to othercontingencies. Te Army is making significantprogress toward balancing the force and withthe continued support of Congress, we are ontrack to meet our goals for restoring balance. TeArmys next challenge in the second decade of thecentury is to maintain our combat edgewhile wereconstitute the force and build resilience for the

    future. We will continue to prepare forces forsuccess in current conflicts; reset returning units;and transform the Army. Tis includes the way theArmy develops, delivers and sustains capabilitiesand includes transforming the business systemsof our generating force with a fully integratedenterprise mindset and approach while reformingthe requirements and resource processes. TeArmy will also continue to support an industrialbase infrastructure to sustain current and futurecapability requirements.

    We must provide our Soldiers a decisive advantagein every fight. Te Armys strategy is to develop andfield a versatile mix of tailorable and networkedorganizations that operate on a rotational cycle. Tis

    requires balancing development and fielding of newcapabilities while modernizing and recapitalizingexisting capabilities, equipping our Soldiers with the

    right capabilities for the current fight and preparingfor future contingencies while balancing equipmentpriorities against other resource requirements.Tis will enable us to routinely provide combatantcommanders trained and ready forces on a rotationalbasis to operate across the spectrum of conflict.

    o continue to fulfill the vital role the Armyplays and has played since 1775 in nationalsecurity, the uncertain strategic and constrained

    fiscal environments anticipated in the twenty-first century demand we adapt our readinessand equipping strategies to become both morebalanced and more affordable. Tis requiresan Army Equipping Strategy that provides andsustains equipment to rotational forces enablingsuccess in assigned missions across the spectrumof conflict while simultaneously developing andincrementally improving core capabilities requiredfor success in future operations. Te combinationof ARFORGEN equipping, incremental

    modernization and integrated portfolios enablesthe Army to develop, field and maintain the rightmix of versatile and affordable equipment to ensureSoldiers and units will be successful in operationstoday and in the future.

    Te FY12 equipment budget request reflects theArmys priority materiel programs. In developingthis request, the Army made difficult decisions to

    re-purpose some funds previously programmed forfuture capabilities to current needs and not fundpromising and needed technologies for capabilitiesthat did not fit within current and projectedresource limitations.

    Te Army ModPlan12 strategy-based prioritiesfor modernized equipment are to (1) Network theForce, (2) Deter and Defeat Hybrid Treats and (3)Protect and Empower Soldiers.

    Te equipment in the Armys FY12 budgetrequest strikes a balance between current and futureneeds; provides the basis for an affordable equippingstrategy over time; reflects Army and Congressionalinterests, guidance and priorities; and nests withArmy Campaign Plan directed capabilities.

    Te Army has identified seven systems in the FY12request as critical to our success in operations likethose in which we are currently engaged and future

    full-spectrum operations:

    Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) ($776M).Te JRS is the Services future deployable mobilecommunications family of radios. It providesadvanced joint tactical end-to-end networking dataand voice communications to dismounted troops,aircraft and watercraft platforms. Te primarycomponents of JRS are a Wideband Data Radio(Ground Mobile Radio), Handheld Manpack Small(HMS) Form Fit Manpack Radio and Rifleman

    Radio. Tis system uses Internet Protocol (IP)-basedtechnology to provide network routing, embeddedinformation assurance and provides simultaneousexchange of voice, data and video with multiplechannels. Te Wideband Data Radio componentsupports legacy waveforms (Single ChannelGround and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS),

    Enhanced Position Location and Reporting System(EPLRS), Ultra High Frequency (UHF), SatelliteCommunication (SACOM) and High Frequency

    (HF)) for backward compatibility with current forceradios and leverages the Wideband NetworkingWaveform (WNW) and Soldier Radio Waveform(SRW) to meet tactical networking requirements.Te HMS Manpack Radio and Rifleman Radio arethe primary JRS capability for tactical operationsat the battalion level and below. Both supportthe SRW capability. Te HMS Manpack is a twochannel multiband, multimode communicationssystem that supports not only SRW, but

    interoperates with legacy waveforms as part of itsIncrement 1 delivery (SINCGARS, UHFSACOM). Te Rifleman Radio is a dismountedSoldier capability that utilizes the SRW to connectthe Soldier to their leader. Te system providesvoice and individual location information, primarilyserves the maneuver team formation and providesthe rifleman with interoperable capability to theNett Warrior-enabled leader. Te JRS program ison track to support Ground Mobile Radio (GMR)test events in summer FY11, to execute Rifleman

    Radio Milestone C test events in FY11 and toexecute Wideband Data Radio and HMS Manpacktest events in FY12.

    Warfighter Information Network-Tactical(WIN-T) Increment 1, 2 and 3 ($1.3B).WIN- provides the broadband backbonecommunications necessary for the tacticalArmy. It extends an IP-based satellite and line-of-sight communications network throughthe tactical force, supporting telephone, dataand video. Te WIN- Increment 1 (formerlyJoint Network Node) began fielding in 2004to provide a satellite-based IP network downto battalion level. Increment 1 continues toupgrade the fleet to Ka band and exploits theWideband Global Satellite constellation ratherthan leased Ku band. Upgrades to Increment 1b

    occur in FY12-15 for interoperability with laterWIN- Increments and strategic networks.Te WIN- Increment 1 is post MS C and is

    scheduled for a full-rate production decision.Plans are being further refined to cascade theWIN- Increment 1 equipment displacedby WIN- Increment 2 fielding to meetemerging requirements to include homelandsecurity missions, force structure changesand requirements not addressed in the initialprocurement. Te WIN- Increment 2 beginsfielding in FY12 to provide an initial on-the-move (OM) capability extending down to

    company level for 64 select units with largerthroughput to battalion, brigade and divisionheadquarters. It provides a robust line-of-sighttransmission network and greater satellitethroughput. Te WIN- Increment 2 reachedMS C in February 2010 and is scheduled foran Initial Operational est and Evaluation(IOE) in FY12. Te WIN- Increment 3will provide the Joint Command, Control,Communications, Computers, Intelligence,Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JC4ISR)

    radio which enables an aerial layer to thickenthe line of sight transmission network, improvesatellite bandwidth efficiency by up to threetimes and assume the ROJAN SPIRI andGlobal Broadcast System (GBS) requirements.Te WIN- Increment 3 is currently in itsEngineering, Manufacturing and Developmentphase and is prioritizing its efforts to develop anairborne tier capability to extend connectivityand provide full network mobility.

    Ground Combat Vehicle($884M). Te GroundCombat Vehicle is the U.S. Armys replacementprogram for Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) inHeavy Brigade Combat eams (HBCs) andthe centerpiece of the Armys overall CombatVehicle Modernization Strategy. Modernizationimperatives include improved protection;

    mobility and sustainment; mitigation of existingshortfalls; and network integration. Currentand product-improved IFVs do not provide the

    protected mobility required to operate acrossthe spectrum of operations and do not providethe growth potential required to accommodateadvances in protection, networking andSpace, Weight, Power and Cooling (SWaP-C)technologies. Te Army recently released aRequest for Proposals (RFP) for the GroundCombat Vehicle IFV, focusing on the Big 4imperatives: Soldier protection; Soldier capacity;Full-Spectrum; and Timing. Unlike current

    IFVs, the Ground Combat Vehicle will bedesigned to deliver a full nine-man squad underarmor to the battlefield. Tis is consideredcrucial to the Armys ability to conduct fire andmaneuver in close-quarters fighting in complexterrain. Modular armor will allow commandersthe option to add or adjust vehicle protectionarmor based on the threat environment. TeGround Combat Vehicle will be designed toincorporate future SWaP-C technologies. Inresponse to the recently released RFP, industry

    proposals were received on 21 January 2011 andwe anticipate contract awards in 3rd QuarterFY11. Ground Combat Vehicle echnologyDevelopment Phase will continue throughFY12 until completion in 3rd Quarter FY13.

    Distributed Common Ground System-Army(DCGS-A) ($189M). DCGS-A providesintegrated intelligence, surveillance andreconnaissance data to airborne and groundsensor platforms and is the Armys component of

    the Department of Defense (DoD) DistributedCommon Ground/Surface System (DCGSS)family of systems. o satisfy informationrequirements, DCGS-A provides commandersfrom tactical company-level to Army ServiceComponent Command (ASCC) level accessto the Defense Intelligence Information

    Enterprise and the tools required to leveragethe entire national, joint, tactical and coalitionintelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance

    (ISR) community. Te Army is currentlyupdating the DCGS-A acquisition strategyto comply with DoDs revised informationtechnology acquisition process. Tis will ensurethe program continues to develop enhancedanalytic capabilities by exploiting emergingtechnologies and fielding these capabilities to theforce consistent with the ARFORGEN process.Te Army has incrementally fielded DCGS-Acapabilities to deploying forces beginning in

    2006. Te Armys first cloud architecture inOperation Enduring Freedom reached initialoperating capability in March 2011. TeDCGS-A program will have a Full DeploymentDecision in the 4th Quarter of FY12.

    Joint Battle Command-Platforms (JBC-P)($188M). Te JBC-P enables a widely dispersedcommand and control (C2) capability acrossall formations and the entire spectrum of jointmilitary operations. Te JBC-P is a foundation

    for achieving information interoperabilitybetween joint warfighting elements on currentand future battlefields. As the next generationof Force XXI Battle Command Brigade andBelow/Blue Force racking technology, itwill be the principal C2 system for the Armyand Marine Corps at the brigade-and-belowproviding users access to the tactical informationnecessary to achieve information dominance onthe battlefield. Te JBC-P consists of computerhardware and software integrated into tactical

    vehicles and aircraft and is provided todismounted forces. Te capability uses a productline approach to software development to savecost and promote a common architecture.Components include a core software modulethat provides common functionality requiredof all platforms and tailored software modules

    with unique capabilities for dismounted,vehicle, logistics, aviation and command postelements. Its software is designed for use over

    the Blue Force racking II transceiver andassociated satellite networks as well as ground-based networks. Te new transceiver allowsfor a ten-fold increase in data throughput.Other key enhancements include a redesigned,intuitive user interface and faster mappingsoftware to process and display critical graphicsquickly. It will be the primary provider anduser of digital battle command and situationalawareness across the spectrum of operations

    and will allow Soldiers to more effectively andconsistently communicate critical informationover networks that connect the most distant andremote locations.

    Paladin Integrated Management (PIM)($120M). As a critical part of the ArmysGround Combat Vehicle ModernizationStrategy, the PIM program funds readilyavailable low risk upgrades that enhance theresponsiveness, force protection, survivability

    and operational readiness of the self-propelledhowitzer fleet. Te PIM replaces the currentM109A6 Paladin and M992A2 Field ArtilleryAmmunition Supply Vehicle with a more robustplatform incorporating Bradley common drivetrain and suspension components. Stemmingfrom the decision to cancel the Non-Line-of-Sight-Cannon (NLOS-C), a critical capabilitygap was created that elevated the PIM programto a priority modernization effort. Te programhas completed contractor testing at government

    facilities and is expected to be designated asan Acquisition Category I Major DefenseAcquisition Program.

    Kiowa Warrior (KW) ($250M). KiowaWarrior OH-58 model upgrade converts Dmodels to F models with enhanced cockpitsensor upgrades. Te Army requires a next

    11 www. g8.army.mil

    generation capability to satisfy its Armed AerialScout (AAS) attack, reconnaissance and securitymission requirements within the current and

    future combat environments. In April 2009,the Secretary of the Army approved a strategyto re-invest in the OH-58D KW helicopterto address obsolescence and sustainment untila viable replacement is procured. Te fullyfunded Cockpit And Sensor Upgrade Program(CASUP) addresses system and armamentobsolescence, aircrew survivability and overallaircraft weight to improve the helicoptersperformance and update its aircraft mission-

    design series to OH-58F. Te CASUP is nota service life extension program and doesnot zero time the airframe. First unitequipped for the OH-58F KW helicoptersis forecasted for FY15. Te CASUP is postMilestone B and has entered the Engineeringand Manufacturing Development phase of theprogram. Additionally, the AAS is undergoingits Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).

    Te Armys FY12 budget requests:

    $1.3B for Soldier systems which includesmall arms (individual and crew servedweapons), night vision, Soldier sensors,body armor, individual networked C2,organizational clothing and individualequipment and parachutes.

    $3.6B for mission command to includecapabilities such as communicationstransport, applications and networkservices.

    $1.2B for intelligence which incorporatesthe key components of intelligence,surveillance and reconnaissance collection,exploitation and analysis.

    $3.0B for ground movement andmaneuver which includes the Armys

    combat vehicles such as Abrams, Bradley,Stryker and the development of the newGround Combat Vehicle.

    $7.5B for air movement and maneuverwhich includes required capabilities in thereconnaissance, attack, unmanned aircraftsystems (UAS), utility and cargo as well asfixed wing mission profiles.

    $1.4B for fires which includes lethaland non-lethal fires and effects such asradars, cannons, launchers, munitions andautomated enablers.

    $2.3B for enhanced air and missile defenseprotection that protects warfighters fromthe effects of ballistic missiles, mannedand unmanned aircraft systems, rockets,artillery and mortars.

    $1.4B for enhanced protection whichincludes Base Defense, Chemical,Biological, Radiological and Nuclear(CBRN), Explosive Ordnance Disposal(EOD) and Civil Affairs equipment.Te protection portfolio also provides

    capabilities that assure mobility, enhanceprotection and enable expeditionarylogistics and build capacity.

    $2.2B for transportation systems toinclude light, medium and heavy tacticalwheeled vehicle fleets and the MineResistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)family of vehicles.

    $566M for combat service supportprograms which includes fuel and water

    systems, load handling systems, airdropsystems, tool sets, medical systems andmany other combat enablers.

    Te Nations economic downturn coupled withthe successful end of combat operations in Iraqrequire the Army to maintain fiscal discipline over

    decreased resources and competing demands. We arereminded that American tax dollars are finite and weremain dedicated to ensuring we are careful stewardsof our allocated resources. Te challenge we faceis to maintain a relevant and balanced force whileadvancing our equipping priorities even as the paceof operations for the American Soldier and his or herequipment is not predicted to slow anytime soon.

    o address challenge, the Secretary of the Army

    directed Capability Portfolio Reviews (CPR) as apilot process to holistically examine the requirementsthat drive capability development, acquisition andsustainment to determine if current and proposedprograms were aligned to meet key national anddefense strategies and Army plans. Tese assessmentshave helped the Army to make capability-baseddecisions for equipment investments whileeliminating redundant or unnecessary requirements.As a result of these reviews, the Army recentlyidentified two programs for elimination: the

    Surface-Launched Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (SLAMRAAM) and the NLOS Launch

    System. Additionally, the Scorpion System has beenidentified for close out.

    In addition to these assessments, the Army isre-examining the way we determine how muchequipment to procure and when to procureit. Tis effort grew from the Armys adoptionof the ARFORGEN model. Equipping to theARFORGEN model would result in the Armyprocuring and fielding the right amounts and typesof equipment at the right time to meet missionneeds as opposed to trying to resource 100 percentof required equipment in all units. While the Army

    will continue to procure all required equipment,this approach allocates materiel effectively andefficiently to support the generation of trained andready forces while not over-buying for units in theinitial stages of ARFORGEN.

    Te Army leadership believes the thoroughexamination of equipment portfolios coupledwith the implementation of the ARFORGENequipping model has resulted in a balanced,fiscally responsible FY12 Research, Development

    and Acquisition request.

    Section I Overview

    Te Mission Command (MC) portfolio consists of

    three distinct capabilities: transport, applicationsand network services. Te Warfighter InformationNetwork actical (WIN-) and Joint acticalRadio System (JRS) are the primary transportprograms. Te actical Battle Command (BC),Global Command and Control System Army(GCCS-A), Joint Battle Command Platform(JBC-P) and Global Combat Support System Army (GCSS-Army) are the key applications.Te Army Key Management System (AKMS) andCommunication Security (COMSEC) are the key

    network service programs. Our intent is to blendthese MC portfolio elements into a capability thatprovides a twenty-first century expeditionary Army

    with timely and relevant information throughseamless connectivity regardless of echelon,location or mission. o achieve this, the Army willbuild upon todays baseline network architecture,align all network acquisition programs, leverageoperational lessons learned, capitalize on theater-driven investments, insert available commercial orgovernment technologies and incrementally fieldincreased networking capabilities in accordancewith the ARFORGEN cycle.

    MISSIONCOMMANDPORTFOLIO

    Te Armys FY12 Network investment reflectsa fundamental change in how the Army will fieldnew capabilities to the warfighter. Starting with

    converging parallel network modernization effortsinto one coherent network of sensors, Soldiers,platforms and command posts will be linked byan integrated suite of C2 applications and servicesconnected via a robust transport network. In thisway, the Army will rebalance the portfolio to favorprocurement of additional brigade sets of equipmentrather than long-term individual program researchand development efforts. o accomplish this theArmy will standardize network components using

    an overarching architecture, common operatingenvironments (COEs), Commercial Off-the-Shelf(COS) I when appropriate and software-definableradio systems. Using a multi-tiered transport network(terrestrial, aerial and space), the Armys goal is toachieve improved networking capabilities throughextended coverage area and higher bandwidth fordeployed forces.

    Te Modernization Plan supports the tenants ofthe Army Network Strategy: 1) Build Capacity. We

    will deliver a robust network capability to as manyformations as possible, extend transport capabilityto more Forces, improve the Dismounted SoldierConnectivity to include Beyond Line-of-sight(BLOS) and design a scalable but affordable CompanyCommand Post capability; 2) Common OperatingEnvironment Implementation. We will establishcommon network architecture for WIN-, JBC-Pand JRS as well as implement a Common OperatingEnvironment (COE) to enable rapid developmentof software products for the Soldier, platformand command post environments; 3) EnhanceNetwork Integration by delivering an affordableintegrated computer system for the platform; and4) Enhance Mission Command (MC) by collapsingMC functionality into a single software suite for thecommand post environment and implements a singlemobile mission command capability.

    Te first imperative is to bring the dismountedleader into the Network. Te pending deployment ofboth the JRS and WIN- will extend relevant data

    to our platforms and dismounts, thereby improvingsituational awareness of the force. Second, toovercome the challenges of rough or mountainousterrain, the Army will deploy the JBC-P system an incremental but significant upgrade of thewarfighter-proven Blue Force racking system.Tird, WIN- contains a high-bandwidth on-the-move capability and in the future will add an aerialtier to thicken the network and reduce dependenceon satellites while extending operational data to

    BLOS users.

    Te Army will consider the greater Networkas a combat multiplier which extends from thesustaining base to the single dismounted leader. Tisall-encompassing view is called the Global NetworkEnterprise Construct (GNEC). It involves ensuringthe deploying/deployed warfighters have greateraccess to the larger network capabilities and services.Access will be provided by the deployment of bothmilitary and commercial satellite long-haul reach-

    back transport capacity to tactical formations. Tiscapability will thicken the high-capacity tacticalsatellite network through greater investments inthe highly successful Global Broadcast Service(GBS) and Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliableactical erminal (SMAR-) satellite systems thusensuring access to large amounts of operationalinformation from supporting agencies in the U.S.as well as from overhead unmanned reconnaissanceand surveillance platforms.

    In addition to extending transport across thebattlefield, the Army will deliver improved softwareapplications on the Network thereby delivering theright information to the right place at the righttime. Te pre-eminent effort is to reconfigure legacyArmy Battle Command Systems (ABCS) into astandardized set of applications that seamlessly share

  • 8/6/2019 Army Modernization Plan 2012

    22/68

    19 www. g8.army.mil

    data and information on standardized computers incommand posts.

    actical Battle Command (BC) is thecornerstone of the command post-based C2 systemas it converges Army Battle Command Systems(ABCS) and adds capabilities and features over time.Te GCCS-Army is the Joint Common OperationalPicture (COP) providing situational awareness andenhanced readiness reporting to the warfighter at thestrategic level. Simultaneously, JBC-P will continueto develop and field common applications for themobile environment starting with simple chat,

    whiteboard and file transfer applications as well asposition location data.

    Te Army Logistical Enterprise will providemission-critical information from the sustainingbase to the tactical edge. Te GCSS-Army, a basiccornerstone of the Single Army Logistics Enterprise(SALE), will enable the Army to apply leading web-based applications available commercially to Armylogistics. Tis will allow a fully integrated state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

    capability to be used by logisticians at all levels from tactical to national. Te SALE encompassesneeded improvements on unclassified networks forlogistics programs.

    On classified network, Battle CommandSustainment Support System (BCS3) links thewarfighter with operationally essential logisticsinformation. On unclassified networks, GCSS-Army will replace five separate, outdatedlogistics information systems with one cohesive

    web-based system.

    Converging current modernization efforts,applying and enforcing technical standards ofnetwork components and partnering with industryto leverage commercial advancements are thekeys to accomplishing the FY12 Army Network

    modernization strategy. Tis strategy connectsSoldiers to the network, provides full interoperabilityand distribution across the Army, enables C2 on the

    move and provides full situational awareness acrossall echelons. It brings the dismounted and mountedSoldier and leader into the network and ensures weprovide greater access to mission essential informationto the deployed warfighter, now and in the future.
