FORT BELVOIR, Va. (June 2025)-In the Letter to the Force: Army Transformation Initiative, launched May 1, Dan Driscoll, Secretary of the Army, and Gen. Randy George, Chief of Staff of the Army, pointed out how battlefields were rapidly altering and how "adaptation is no longer an advantage - it's a requirement for survival."

Army scientists and technical experts at the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center, are dedicated to establishing technology and equipment to increase those odds of survivability. The is to make sure U.S. military forces have the ability to see, sense, communicate, and move quicker than near-peer foes.

In line with our military forces having the capability to "see and communicate," the Center has adapted and enhanced Fifth-Generation cordless network innovation, more commonly referred to as 5G. Improved 5G abilities will enhance network strength throughout a theater of operations-ensuring continuous operations with minimal disruptions or failures. Additionally, 5G is significantly faster than its predecessors, more stable, and secure. 5G also has a shorter data-processing hold-up throughout networks-this delay is understood as latency.

"On today's battleground, Soldiers, vehicles, and devices are frequently spread out throughout country miles," said Beth Ferry, C5ISR Center Director. "The Army needs to ensure its systems remain interconnected regardless of austere conditions, ecological and geographical obstacles, or disturbance from opponent forces. The low-latency and high reliability of 5G networks would make sure that combat and support groups remain linked and can communicate without delays or dropped signals."

5G innovation has had widespread business accessibility since 2019. The C5ISR Center has been at the leading edge of adapting 5G technology for tactical use, while working along with industry, because 2020. The boosted 5G wireless technology that the C5ISR Center is adjusting, offers the Army and its warfighters a needed boost in its cellular capacity.

The C5ISR Center's magnified 5G screening will help the Army reach its next level of network connection. With the increased variety of service members heading to the U.S.-Mexico border, and the rise in worldwide disputes, advanced connection ends up being a requirement.

"Our goal is to enhance the network by leveraging industrial innovation," said Mike Piesen, C5ISR Center 5G Lead. "Where cellular actually shines is through its scalability and latency. As we generate more robotics and self-governing platforms into the same location, and spectrum gets more congested, the high spectral performance of 5G ends up being critical."

To keep up with emerging technology and remain ahead of the Army's adversaries, scientists and engineers with the C5ISR Center's Mobile and Survivable Command Post group began experimenting with 5G technologies to improve its secured command post systems and to remain less detectable.

"We can use the industrial networks in place when we feel the network is trusted," stated Piesen. "There's a crucial concept of 'hiding in plain sight' when it pertains to 5G. As cellular networks end up being increasingly more common, business signals in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum become more typical and modified military signals can end up being more visible."

The C5ISR Center executed extra security functions and network security to enable Army users to be less susceptible to adversaries on the industrial networks.

Throughout the next few months, the C5ISR Center will experiment, test, and refine its 5G capabilities during Network Modernization Experiment 25. The Center will work to use present facilities to minimize costs. Once the Center develops a mature 5G capability, this enhancement would enable more connected gadgets with faster real-time data processing.

"What we wish to do is to attempt to use existing facilities anywhere we go, if we can do it safely and firmly," said Piesen. "So, it assists if we can utilize what's already there, however we'll likewise bring our own private cellular network. By doing this, it provides the very best of both worlds where you can get the universal coverage that individuals expect."

By integrating more 5G innovation into Army operations, this upgrade might increase communication dependability and potentially reduce constraints in bandwidth, speed, and security-establishing network strength across the Army. Additionally, 5G improvements would make it possible for real-time collaboration in between ground units, enhancing situational awareness, and ensure near-instantaneous, safe and secure transmission of important data across long distances-which in turn can improve Soldier-lethality.

"Certain innovation enables us to link-up together, and not simply cellular phone. We can have automobiles, drones, sensors, and even Soldiers on the move," said Piesen. "There's a lot you can do with 5G and cellular, in regards to the economy of scale for the handhelds that you may not have the ability to do with more conventional tactical systems."

If an infrastructure does not exist, do not fret, the Center has that covered too. The organization can bring its own. "We can take advantage of the exact same base-station technology to bring that smooth cordless capability where it's needed most at the tactical edge," said Piesen.

The development of 5G innovation with high-speed information transmission might supply an important ability to organizations internationally. Having improved abilities could permit unmanned aerial systems and unmanned ground vehicles to run effectively and effectively in a multi-domain operation.

"The cellular industry invests about 100 billion dollars a year into improving just 5G/6G technology," stated Piesen, "The federal government can't keep up with that level of business financial investment, however we can take advantage of it by executing 5G where it makes sense."
