LandWarNet

Definition/Scope: LandWarNet is defined as the Army's portion of the global information grid and consists of all globally interconnected, end-to-end Army information capabilities supporting warfighters, policy makers, and support personnel. LandWarNet provides the construct for the Army's transition to the future and is a key contributor for information and decision superiority. LandWarNet will enable voice, data, and video to the edge of tactical formations—ultimately pushing these capabilities lower and lower to our modular U.S. Army's brigades, battalions, and Soldiers. The Future Combat Systems will have a wide array of new information capabilities to achieve conceptual objectives; however, it must be able to pass that information to a variety of organizations with dissimilar levels of capability.
