Transportable Tactical Command Communications

Transportable Tactical Command Communications (T2C2) is a critical component of the Army Network Modernization Priority. The program aims to provide a family of expeditionary and mobile satellite terminals that support the Army's unified tactical network. These scalable terminals transmit voice, video, and data to enable mission command, situational awareness, and an improved common operational picture in support of multi-domain operations. The program is aligned with the Army's strategy to leverage a Family of Terminals (FoT) to meet various requirements for different formations, including the Expeditionary Signal Battalion-Enhanced (ESB-E), Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB), Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs), Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), SPACE Brigade, maneuver enhancement Brigades, Military Intelligence Brigades (MIBs), Divisions, Corps headquarters, and other formations. The goal is to provide interoperable high-speed, high-capacity connectivity that enables communication beyond line of sight across vast distances and in austere locations and terrains.

The objectives of Program 2956B85800 include leveraging emerging technologies to ensure network resiliency, capacity, and convergence by providing high-throughput and low-latency broadband services. The program also focuses on transitioning material solutions to more expeditionary and capable rigid dish solutions, such as the Lite v2 terminal intended for small teams requiring high-bandwidth network capability in austere environments. Additionally, the program office will produce logistics products, program supply support, cyber support, etc., and establish contracts to support the Ultra Lite terminal. The program aims to enhance baseband capabilities to support secure connections at the tactical and strategic level while also addressing obsolescence for systems fielded prior to FY 2022. Furthermore, the funding supports the procurement and fielding of modular communications and network packages to support Base Operation Spartan Shield (BOSS) for CENTCOM operations in accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.
