FAIRFAX, Va., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Army
is fielding the General Dynamics-built Warfighter Information
Network – Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2 to the 2nd
Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division (2/2
SBCT) at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and the 1st
Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Fort
Bliss, Texas. The WIN-T Increment
2 secure communications network backbone is also fielded to 12
infantry Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) and four division
headquarters.
"Fielding WIN-T Increment 2 to Army Stryker Brigades closes the
communications gap between fast moving SBCTs and 'boots on the
ground' soldiers," said Chris
Marzilli, president of General Dynamics Mission Systems.
"The highly mobile and operationally simplified Increment 2 allows
soldiers to quickly and simultaneously address multiple missions in
any environment, across the mission field or between
continents."
WIN-T is the Army's top-tier, mobile command and control system
that connects and protects voice and data communications to support
the full spectrum of Army operations worldwide.
General Dynamics Mission Systems' engineers and technology
experts are working continuously to make the WIN-T Increment 2
system easier to use, while reducing the size, weight and power
needs of the system overall. Ideas and suggestions for system
improvements come from soldier feedback during evaluation events,
from soldiers returning from their deployments and from training
activities both at home base and at the Signal School at the Cyber
Center of Excellence at Fort Gordon,
Ga.
More information about WIN-T, tactical radios, satellite
communications and the cyber-defense products that make up the
Soldier's Network is available at www.thesoldiersnetwork.com.
