5G, LEO satellites dominate US plans for next ITN iteration

摘要

Incorporation of 5G mobile networking technologies and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite capabilities into US Army operations is expected to dominate development work on the service's next iteration of its Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), the head of the army's Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) said. PEO C3T chief Army Brigadier General Robert Collins broadly outlined the service's upcoming objectives and preliminary requirements for Capability Set 25 of the ITN. Brig Gen Collins assumed command of the PEO C3T directorate from Army Lieutenant General David Bassett in June.
