Soldiers are testing new tactical gear in support of the Army’s efforts to modernize its network capabilities.
The service has been embarking on a series of capability sets as it works to advance its connectivity through Army Futures Command’s network cross-functional team. Technology developed under Capability Set 21 was recently put through its paces at the Joint Readiness Training Center, which is located at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
The training center offered the Army a “full force-on-force brigade exercise,” said Col. Rob Ryan, chief of operations for the network team. Soldiers were able to train in realistic terrain using radios enabled with more powerful waveforms.
