The Army’s new chief of staff said his top modernization priority is still the network. In a speech at the annual AUSA conference in Washington yesterday, Gen. Randy George said, most of all, that means making the Army’s network a lot less complex. He said instead of huge antenna farms and server stacks, commanders need to be able to access the data they need with something as simple as a tablet. To help get there, the Army has just issued the third in a series of queries to vendors to help build its new Unified Data Reference Architecture. The goal is to build a distributed “data mesh” that all Army acquisition programs can share.
