We Still Have Work To Do• Reduce System Complexity
• Incorporate Interoperability of Systems
• Simplify the Network: Acting on Soldier feedback– Reduced startup and shutdown times– Intuitive user interfaces, tactical apps– Agile command posts to enable expeditionary operations– Streamlining Unit Task Reorganization and network initialization
• Field Support Realignment – Units taking ownership of communications systems– Army collecting trouble ticket data to continuously right-size support– Increasing FSR/DSE system-of-systems knowledge
• System of Systems Training Approach– Unit leadership emphasis is critical; key leader training encourages engagement– Unit-developed “sustainment training” keeps skills sharp during turnover– Crew drills promote holistic understanding of Capability Set systems
