Provides initial networking on-the-move, enabling Joint land forces to engage enemy forces deeper and more effectively.
Warfighter Information Network–Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2 accelerates the delivery of a self-forming, self-healing mobile network infrastructure via commercial off-the-shelf and government off-the-shelf technologies. As a converged tactical communications and transport layer network, Increment 2 leverages an early release of the objective Highband Networking Waveform running on the Highband Networking Radio to provide high-throughput, line-of-sight communications. It also leverages an early release of the objective Net Centric Waveform on a ruggedized R-MPM-1000 modem for on-the-move (OTM) satellite communications enabling greater situational awareness, and command and control. Multiple configuration items tailor capability from the division level down to the company level. It provides an accelerated delivery of network operations capability that allows management, prioritization, and protection of information while reducing organizational and operational support.
Increment 2 network operations include automated planning, on-the-move node planning, automated link planning for currently fielded systems, initial automated spectrum management, initial quality of service planning and monitoring, and over-the-air network management and configuration of WIN-T radios. Additionally, Increment 2 network operations automate the initial Internet Protocol planning and routing configurations.
WIN-T Increment 2 is part of Capability Set 13, the Army’s first package of network components, associated equipment, and software that provides integrated connectivity from the static tactical operations center to the commander on-the-move to the dismounted Soldier.
