U.S. Army's "Mobile Backbone" Tactical Communications Network
U.S. Army previews future network's revolutionary "mobile backbone"
The US Army conducted an engineering field test of its future tactical communications network here in Oct. 2007 and demonstrated a new mode of combat communications with a "mobile backbone" .
Demonstrated were the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 2 engineering models being developed to allow brigade, battalion and company key leaders to continue to collaborate and exchange information using Internet-based voice, video and data technologies whether their combat formations are moving or halted.
Such a system would differ significantly from any currently used in the Army.
