US Army officials have homed in on three major areas of focus to drive its development efforts for the newest tranche of the service’s Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) initiative and is seeking industry input to flesh out those anticipated capabilities.

美国陆军官员已将重点放在三个主要领域，以推动其为美国陆军综合战术网络（ITN）计划的最新部分进行开发，并正在寻求行业投入来充实这些预期的能力。

 

Officials from the service’s Program Executive Office Command Control Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), in conjunction with Army Futures Command’s Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), issued a call for White Papers on 16 November, outlining “technologies that may be ready for experimental consideration” in those three major focus areas for the ITN iteration dubbed Capability Set 23. The input derived from the White Paper submissions will help ITN programme officials “increase capacity, resiliency, and convergence of the network” in Capability Set 23 and future variants to come, according to a service statement.

该部门项目执行办公室指挥控制通信战术（PEO C3T）的官员，与陆军未来司令部网络跨职能团队（N-CFT）一起，于11月16日发出了一份白皮书呼吁，概述了在被称为“功能集23”的美国陆军综合战术网络（ITN）迭代的这三个主要重点领域中的“可能已准备好进行试验性考虑的技术”。白皮书提交的内容将帮助美国陆军综合战术网络（ITN）计划官员“提高功能集23和功能集的网络容量，弹性和融合”。 根据一份服务声明，未来的变种将会出现。

 

Overall, the networked technologies being considered for development under Capability Set 23 focus on Stryker-based mounted operations, leveraging cellular 4G and other communication networks, coupled with legacy systems upgrades operating on a secure but unclassified architecture. That work is designed to build on the research, development, and prototype work from the previous Capability Set 21, which also explored much of the same networked requirements, but was tailored to facilitate dismounted combat manoeuvres. (Updates are delivered every two years, which is why there is not a Capability Set 22.)

总体而言，正在考虑根据功能集23进行开发的联网技术专注于利用蜂窝4G和其他通信网络基于Stryker的安装操作，以及在安全但未分类的架构上运行的旧系统升级。该工作的设计是基于先前“功能集21”的研究，开发和原型工作而进行的，该功能集也探索了许多相同的网络需求，但专门为方便拆卸的作战机动而量身定制。（每两年更新一次，这就是为什么没有“功能集22”的原因。）

 

Army officials are finalising industry agreements for development of Capability Set 23 after securing critical design review (CDR) approval for technologies under development for Capability Set 21 in May.

继5月份获得针对“功能集21”开发中技术的关键设计审查（CDR）批准后，陆军官员正在敲定开发“功能集23”的行业协议。
