“. . . the ability of forces to communicate and operate

seamlessly on the battlefield will be critical to success . . .

We must transform our forces for new and unexpected

challenges. We must be prepared for surprise—for little or

no warning.”Donald Rumsfeld

Transformational Acquisition Strategy

Transformational Communications Enterprise requires*“evolutionary acquisition strategy”

! Evolutionary requirements process

! Evolutionary delivery of products (spiral development)

! Modular open systems design

! Standard interfaces and protocols to accommodatetechnology refreshment/requirements changes

! Technology pipeline

Spiral development is a necessary part of theTransformational Acquisition Strategy

* evolutionary implies “evolving with relative ease”

Transformation Success Challenges

# Early transformational success depends on convergence ofseveral technology and engineering challenges

# Transfer of laser comm technology to industry

# Development of multi-access laser comm receivers

# Development and integration of laser comm terminals intoair-frames

# Development of comm-on-the-move (COTM) RF vehicularantenna technology

# Development of ops concept and networking protocols forMILSATCOM

# Development of very-highly spectrally efficient downlinkcapabilities

# Others
