Army Adopts New Unified Network Operations Acquisition Strategy
Summary
The U.S. Army is adopting a new approach to acquiring capabilities for its Unified Network Operations (UNO), according to Mark Kitz, program executive officer for command, control and communications-tactical (PEO-C3T). The new strategy is expected to allow more rapid fielding of new capabilities by taking advantage of industry’s research and development investments and newly available technologies. It will be accomplished through the integration, co-hosting and federation of multiple network operations systems from hand-held devices to the enterprise, according to an Army website. Youre going to see a strategy where were going to look to prototype our UNO capability,” Kitz told the audience September 26 at an event hosted by AFCEA’s Aberdeen Chapter. Industry has to prove to me that they can set up, stand up and run an agile process with the government in a really complicated customer environment.”
