ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Next Generation Command and Control, the U.S. Army’s flagship continuous transformation effort relies on a partnership with industry to identify the most promising technologies and make the best investment decisions for rapid capability development and delivery. The Army’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center supported that effort through its “Radio Rodeo.” Held from March through April of this year, the rodeo consisted of a series of simulated battlefield communications challenges using the center’s unique laboratory and testing infrastructure to create the effects of denied, disrupted, intermittent and limited bandwidth caused by an adversary. These challenges were directed against emerging radio capabilities from more than a half-dozen industry partners, designed to assess their communications systems’ ability to keep Soldiers depending on them in the fight. The goal is to ensure that U.S. forces are the most lethal force in any conflict. Good communications in battle is essential to that. The sooner industry technology developers learn about the vulnerabilities in their radios, the faster the Army is able to field the warfighter with a better radio. Historically, formal operational or developmental test cycles could take years and were often not aligned to industry’s…
