Transportable Tactical Command Communications

The Transportable Tactical Command Communications (T2C2) program is a key element of the Army's Network Modernization Priority, aligning with future initiatives for 2030 and 2040. Its primary goal is to provide expeditionary and mobile satellite terminals, such as the Scalable Class of Unified Terminals (SCOUT), to enhance mission command and situational awareness across multi-domain operations. These terminals are designed to support various Army formations, including Expeditionary Signal Battalion-Enhanced (ESB-E), Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB), and Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) Brigade Combat Teams.

The T2C2 program ensures high-speed, high-capacity connectivity for soldiers in remote and challenging environments. By leveraging a "Suite of Terminals" strategy, it procures the most suitable terminals for different operational needs. These SATCOM terminals range in size from sub-1 meter to 4 meters, providing interoperable communication capabilities beyond line of sight. They also include baseband and ancillary equipment to enable secure cyber connections at both tactical and strategic levels.

In FY 2025, the focus will be on procuring hardware like the SCOUT Expeditionary and Ultra Lite terminals. The Ultra Lite terminal is notable for its lightweight design, allowing rapid setup and teardown in austere environments. The program will also support engineering services, software procurement and maintenance, cybersecurity measures, and logistics support. Additionally, it will fund services from the SATCOM Support Center (SSC), which provides essential helpdesk support and network connectivity for the Ultra Lite terminals.

The T2C2 program aims to enhance operational reach and situational awareness while ensuring technical relevancy through emerging technologies. By adopting a Family of Terminals contracting approach, it seeks to maintain network resiliency and capacity by integrating high-throughput broadband services with low latency. This ensures that Army units can effectively communicate across vast distances without relying on static infrastructure.
