I don't know if EZEN is involved with this program or not, but it could be a huge opportunity for them. General Dynamics is an EZEN partner.

General Dynamics’ Joint Network Node Giving Soldiers More Mobile Battlefield Communications, Increased Bandwidth
U.S. Army Earmarks $247 Million to Further Deploy Critical Communications System

TAUNTON, Mass. — Oct. 27, 2004 — United States Army soldiers at Ft. Stewart, Ga., have completed training on the Joint Network Node (JNN) mobile communications system that went from design to fielding less than six months. The system was designed as a collaborative effort led by the Army’s Project Manager for Tactical Radio Communications Systems with General Dynamics C4 Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), the U.S. Army Communications–Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center, U.S. Army Communications–Electronics Command Software Engineering Center and other Army organizations.

Then this current article from Nat'l Defense Magazine:

Advanced Communications Net Debuts With 3rd Infantry Division
by Sandra I. Erwin

An obsolete analog communications network—plagued by spotty coverage, limited bandwidth and poor connectivity—is being replaced by a more capable commercial system in reorganized Army divisions.

At the same time, Army planners are seeking less expensive alternatives to commercial satellites and are drastically revamping signal corps support to these newly restructured tactical formations.

Although the Army in recent years has spent billions of dollars on programs to upgrade tactical communications, command and control networks, the Iraqi conflict brought to light serious shortfalls. Most notable is a “digital divide” between the division level—where massive volumes of data pour in—and the front-line troops, which often lack connectivity and access to critical intelligence.

Based on lessons from the initial phase of the war, the Army decided to put together a vastly improved communications network, which is being showcased by the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, and later will be expanded to other units.

I'll see if I can get thru to EZEN and ask if they have or might have any involvement with this. Does anyone here know?

Four years...seven months. Not much difference, no?
