Technology base investments by the US Army will exploit the wealth of emerging commercial telecommunications services, as an operational supplement to classical tactical communications systems. This paper presents a series of technology components that collectively form the basis for the Army's Battlefield Information Transmission System and will provide the underlying seamless, global, "ubiquitous" transmission system for the Force XXI warfighter. The technical and system architectures of the 21st century will evolve through a gradual process of development, acquisition, and experimentation. This process, by definition, is a combined effort relying on the Army Materiel Command (AMC) Research, Development and Engineering Center (RDECs) working with the TRADOC battlelabs. The battlelabs, through a formal series of Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs), play a crucial role in testing and adapting the technology produced by the AMC RDECs and commercial providers. Commercial technology is also directly exploited in TRADOC user environments as part of the Army's ACT II program.
