## What project DD1 buys

In FY 2027, this effort was transferred to PE 0605330A (C2 Transport) / Project C2A (Satellite and Network Modernization). Project DD1, Unified Network Technology Transition and Integration (UNTTI) supports the Army's Command Control (C2) Transport strategy. UNTTI is an RDT&E initiative enabling transport agnostic, high-capacity and resilient tactical communications for expeditionary operations. UNTTI efforts support system/subsystem development and demonstration, aimed at integration, maturation, evaluation, and testing to demonstrate systems against requirements. TEM Projects, Line of Sight Modernization, SATCOM Modernization, Transport Modernization, Secure Cellular, and System of Systems (SoS) Training. These technologies support new and improved communications capabilities with reduced Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP), while increasing throughput, providing network resiliency and Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) capabilities. The Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications and Network (PEO C3N) is responsible for prioritizing, programming, managing and executing the projects detailed below and ensuring these funds are available to support the Army modernization priorities. The Command and Control Cross Functional Team (C2-CFT), Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center, Army Capability Network (ACM) Networks and Services (N&S) support the prioritization of technology demonstrations, focused evaluations, and expert analyses to inform future requirements, mature technologies, and deliver new capabilities. These projects inform technology integration, support user assessments, and transition to programs if appropriate. UNTTI procures, modifies, integrates, and tests system prototypes to demonstrate enhanced capabilities in accordance with Army modernization priorities. UNTTI supports developing technical, logistics, training, and other acquisition documentation to assist with the transition, insertion, and integration of efforts across PM Tactical Network and enables the transition of developing and new technologies to support Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2). In addition, UNTTI resources validation and test efforts which improves the reliability, maintainability, and supportability of Tactical Network equipped units.

**R-3 lines of work:** Management Services; Product Development; Test and Evaluation.
