Rifleman Concept

First step toward “Soldier in the Network”

(U) Soldiers to communicate with their leaders when out of shouting distance to conduct individual movement techniques as part of Fire Team and Squad

(U) Leaders to know individual position location information when they are out of visual contact to coordinate fire and maneuver

(U) Leaders and Soldiers to communicate while dispersed in complex terrain

(U) Reduces exposure to the enemy while increasing speed of maneuver

(U) Leaders to make accurate, more timely decisions

• Soldiers to communicate with their leaders when out of shouting distance to conduct individual movement techniques as part of Fire Team and Squad

• Leaders to know individual position location information when they are out of visual contact to coordinate fire and maneuver

• Leaders and Soldiers to communicate while dispersed in complex terrain

• Reduces exposure to the enemy while increasing speed of maneuver

• Leaders to make more accurate, more timely decisions

• Provides affordable intra-squad protected C2 voice communications and automatic position location information (PLI) reporting using a networking waveform• Improves situational awareness and decision-making ENABLES:


• Provides ground vehicle based terrestrial connectivity with

Advanced Waveforms (i.e. WNW, SRW)

• Programmable Waveforms to Support Multiple Missions• Legacy Interoperability
