As the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) faces an increasingly contested and denied battlespace; Demand for fast and secure communications will increase, both within and between militaries.. 5G communications could potentially address this moment, bridging multiple platforms and units across the joint force, as well as with U.S. allies and partners. But while next-generation military communications offer new opportunities, from the rapid transfer of data and enhanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities to streamlining logistics, they also address the security challenges faced by U.S. and allied forces. Strengthen the threat.
As China spearheads next-generation communications infrastructure and deploys Huawei technology around the world, countries including U.S. allies and partners remain vulnerable to cyberattacks and espionage during wartime. It has become. By comparison, while the Department of Defense has recognized the importance of 5G communications as the foundation for a “new networked method of warfare,” 5G applications can be used while ensuring compatibility with current battlefield infrastructure and weapons systems. There is a lack of an adequate roadmap to promote this. In this discussion, the Department of Defense will develop a secure and interoperable communications architecture to counter the battlefield connectivity of U.S. adversaries and how it can become a major adopter of 5G technology. I will consider.
