- U.S. Army Network Technical Exchange Meeting 6: Capability Set 25 ANNOUNCEMENT: The Army�s Network Cross-Functional Team (N-CFT), in collaboration with the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), will host a network-related technical exchange meeting (TEM) on June 2, 2021, to discuss Capability Set 25 development efforts. Capability Set 25 will build upon Capability Set 21 and 23 and focus on automation and network protection. Capability Set 25 will also incorporate lessons learned from Project Convergence, and have a greater focus of enabling Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) with data management and integration of commercial network transport capability. As the Army executes our Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReAARM) strategy, Unified Network capability will enable Multi-Domain Operations at brigade, division and corps echelons, while also supporting new Army elements such as the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF) and Cyber/Electronic Warfare (EW) formations. This event is meant for a technical audience to include, systems engineers, architecture experts, data analytical experts and integrators. Each session will offer an opportunity for an in-depth discussion between audience members, Army network technical experts, and user community representatives. This will enable vendors, in an open session, to ask questions for clarification, operational understanding, and technical understanding. Each topical session will have a moderated panel and will field questions from attendees regarding that topic. REGISTRATION: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this technical exchange meeting will be conducted as a hybrid event, meaning participants may choose whether to attend in a limited in person capacity (paid registration) or virtually (no cost). Registration is required for this event no matter how you participate (in person or virtual). Registration will open through Eventbrite on Thursday, April 29, 2021.
