UNCLASSIFIEDRadio PlatformsThe Radio Platform component is a combinationof the hardware design inherent to the radio toinclude: antenna, batteries, IO Device, vehicular,man-pack or base mounts and the softwaredesign inherent in the radio operating system.The radio operating environment software allowsthe interaction between the radio hardwarecomponents and the NetOps and WaveformApplications component software. In the legacyradios, the hardware and software design are fullyintegrated within the radio and include thewaveformWaveforms & WaveformApplicationsThe Waveform Application component of theITNE is composed of all current and futuresoftware defined waveform applications thatprovide a means to pass voice and/or dataacross the transport layer of the network in boththe lower and mid tier portions of the ITNE.Waveform Applications are peer-to-peerprograms that facilitate the exchange ofapplication data across the spectrum of radionetworks. Each waveform application isoptimized to meet the mission needs of theportion on which it operates (low/mid tier).ITNE Concept of Operations(CONOPS) - DefinitionNetOps ManagementSystemThe NMS component of the ITNE is theintegrated capability that allows networkmanagers to plan, configure, manage andmonitor all other components of the ITNE. Thisincludes radio platforms, mission commandmobile/mounted applications, ancillary devices,and waveform applications. The NMS is thecapability through which the Battalion S-6 staffdevelops and builds a network plan andinitializes and operates the radio network fortheir respective command level.Ancillary DevicesThe Ancillary Devices component of the ITNEcovers all networked and non-networked itemsthat connect directly to the radio platform orprovide assistance in the routing andtransmission of data between radios orsecurity environments within the lower andmid-tier of the ITNE.Mobile/Mounted MC AppsThe Battalion S-6 and their staff areresponsible for ensuring that missioncommand applications that operate onmounted platforms and mobile (dismountedsoldiers) are properly planned, configured,and initialized in support of the commander’smission.UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIEDITNE Concept of Operations(CONOPS) – Network Tiers The ITNE operates within a tactical networkarchitecture that consists of a lower and upper tier.These are historically referred to as the lower tactical andupper tactical Internet. These tiers are fully integratedallowing for the flow of voice and data across bothnetwork tiers according to the unit commander’sinformation priorities and mission parameters.Battalion SRWBattalion SINCGARSBattalion WNW.Company SINGARS .Platoon SRWPlatoon SRWPlatoon SRWPlatoon SRWCompany WNWFigure does not depict the narrowband SATCOM interoperability points within the Lower and Mid tierITNE nor the celestial, aerial, and terrestrial connectivity points with higher headquarter elements.Lower Tier: The lower tier portion of the ITNE is composed of organicnetwork resources from each ITNE functional component designed to supportcompany and below formations down to soldier. This tier is characterized byprimarily single channel radios operating at both the unclassified and secretlevel along with two channel radios at platoon and company to ensure multinetwork integration and connectivity. The provisioning of mission commandinformation is provided by mobile applications that enable visualization, andhuman machine interface and ancillary devices such as GPS receivers thatprovide Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) information for basic soldierand unit situational awareness (SA), fires targeting data, voice, and sensorcapability. The primary lower tier waveforms are the Soldier Radio Waveform(SRW) and SINCGARS. There is the potential that other lower tier waveformscould be added and/or combined as the ITNE evolves over time.Lower TierMid Tier Within the ITNE, there are two terrestrial based tiers; acelestial based tiered focused on a narrowband satellitecommunications (SATCOM) capability; and potentially anobjective aerial layer tier. The aerial tier is not availablein near term capability sets (CS 13/14) but may be addedin later capability sets as required. The terrestrial based tier is divided into a lower and amid tier. These tiers are mutually supportive and areboth required in order to provide a robust radio basedterrestrial layer for organic passage of voice and data fortactical edge commanders.Mid Tier: The mid tier portion of the ITNE is composed of organic networkresources from each ITNE functional component designed to support battalionand company level operations. The mid tier is the critical high capacitybackbone of the radio environment. It provides the battalion and companycommander with the means to process voice and larger amounts of dataacross their tactical formation over a terrestrial based network. In addition, themid tier is the interoperability point for higher echelons, Joint integration,aviation integration, and multinational interoperability. The primary mid tierwaveform is the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW). There is thepotential that other mid tier waveforms could be added and/or combined asthe ITNE evolves over time. These waveforms are defined in Appendix F.Figure 2.0 below illustrates the objective relationship between the lower andmid tier portions of the ITNE. The objective ITNE requires a robust mid tiercapability within the company and the battalion.UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIEDITNE Concept of Operations(CONOPS) – S-6 Functions The Battalion S-6 performs two primaryfunctions regarding network resources for theircommander.UTIBFT 1The battalion network is divided intotwo separate but interoperablecomponents. These include thesubscriber and administratorfunctions associated with the UpperTactical Internet and the ITNE.Administrator functions include thenetwork control of all organicbattalion communication andnetwork equipment identified acrossall five components in the ITNE.Subscriber functions include allconfiguration tasks associated withthe UTI and Commericial networks(WIN-T and BFT 1&2 networks)BFT 2UTI & CommercialNetworksSubscriberITNENSGNSGSNENSGPoP TCN STTSNE.NSGNSGSNESNEHHCAdministratorThe set of Hardware andSoftwware noted in the diagram,where applied in higher echelonheadquarter elements (BCT, DIV,Corps), is likewise considered partof the ITNE and fully interoperableas available with battalion levelITNE.RadioPlatformsWaveforms &WaveformApplicationsSidewinderVSQ-2 (EPLRS)PSC-5PRC-148(MBITR)PRC-152(MBITR)Mission CommandMobile & )NetOpsManagementSystemPRC-150 (HF)SideFalconVRC-104 C-154(Rifleman)Radio Platform (OEs)Tactical RoutersCross DomainSolutionsGatewaysLoad DevicesJENMRBSAMACES/JACSTSGAMF SAJ-TNTLoad DeviceSKL Version esWaveform e/Native AppManagementTIGR MobileNETT Warrior The first is to perform subscriber functionsassociated with higher level networks (UpperTactical Internet) and/or commercial networks(Blue Force Tracking (BFT) I and II) overwhich the battalion has no network control.The subscriber functions allow strategic andoperational services to be extended to thebattalion based on the guidance of higherlevel commanders. The Battalion S-6 willensure compliance and configurationaccording to these instructions for all systemsoperated by higher echelons but physicallyresident within the battalion area ofoperations. The second primary function performed bythe battalion S-6 are the administratorfunctions associated with network resourcesowned by the battalion. These assetscomprise the ITNE functional components.Figure 2.1 below illustrates the relationship,components, and systems associated with thisdynamic S-6 responsibility.UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIEDITNE Concept of Operations(CONOPS) – Planning ProcessMultiple Phases The ITNE Signal Operations PlanningProcess is the most crucial phase for the S6 staff. This phase requires the application of the“art of war” versus the “science of war”.This means the S-6 leadership mustunderstand how to conduct signal specificmission analysis, course of actionprocesses and other MDMP relatedfunctions. The ability for the S-6 leadershipto conceptualize a network design that fitsinto the commander’s mission concept willmake or break the S-6 staff. The process for bringing together thedifferent components of the network into aspecific mission network design andensuring they function is a multi-stepprocess that calls for accuracy, flexibility,and agility across the S-6 staff.The Planning Process of ITNE Signal Operations involves five phases that cover all activityrequired by the S-6 staff. This includes everything from the receipt of their commander’soperations order to the verification that the commander’s network is initialized and fullyoperational. The five Planning Process phases include the Signal Analysis Phase, the DataCollection Phase, the Network Design Phase, the Network Build Phase, and the NetworkLoad/Verification Phase. In total, these five phases include thirty separate steps that must beperformed to standard by the appropriately trained soldier skill set. Failure to follow the stepscorrectly can easily result in planning mistakes that create capability gaps in the networkdesign and/or flawed ITNE data synchronization across all devices. Minimally, these failureswill result in certain incorrectly planned devices from initializing. In extreme cases, the entire
