JOINT BASE McGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. \u2014 Army scientists and engineers are kicking off the annual Network Modernization Experiment, or NetModX, as they move their capabilities from the lab to a field environment across the New Jersey installation.<\/p>\n

The Army\u2019s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center conducts NetModX at JB-MDL and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, over eight weeks as a capstone experimentation event. It creates an operationally relevant, threat-informed environment to prove out disruptive and transformative C5ISR technologies. The C5ISR Center is an element of the Combat Capabilities Development Command.<\/p>\n

The center\u2019s field experimentation builds upon its modeling and simulation work and lab research, according to Noah Weston, the C5ISR Center\u2019s chief of strategic experimentation. The NetModX team partners with subject-matter experts from across the Army to design experiments that best address the Army\u2019s needs and gaps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Army needs data to make the right decisions at the right time to mature science and technology products to be deployable,\u201d Weston said. \u201cExperimentation allows us to obtain early data on system performance that can inform future Army requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The C5ISR Center conducts NetModX, which is composed of about 80 technologies for 2023, with the Army\u2019s programs of record, cross-functional teams, other DEVCOM organizations and industry partners for an approach that ranges from science and technology to acquisition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNetModX expands our knowledge of emerging networking technologies in relevant field conditions and fosters critical early collaboration between government and industry partners,\u201d said Stephen Blair, senior science and technology advisor for the Network Cross-Functional Team, part of Army Futures Command. \u201cIt informs our collective efforts to reduce network complexity at lower echelons; increase speed and survivability through mobile command posts; manage electronic signature; and improve interoperability.\u201d<\/p>\n

NetModX intends to deliver key insights to help transition capabilities from the \u201cart of the possible\u201d to the \u201cachievable,\u201d said Joe Saldiveri, NetModX project lead and C5ISR Center engineer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThese experimentation opportunities enable the Army stakeholders to come together to spark collaboration and inform critical decisions,\u201d Saldiveri said.<\/p>\n

The C5ISR Center partners with the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical during NetModX to provide technical and operational data on emerging technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperimentation events such as NetModX support our network design efforts for the Army of 2030 or to inform conditions as we look forward to how our programs will support Army of 2040 network modernization,\u201d said Assistant Program Executive Officer Ward Roberts. \u201cNetModX data supports our developers with integration and technical maturity insight on targeted capability that has transition potential into programs of record and informs formulation of design goals as we work with Cross-Functional Team community.\u201d<\/p>\n
