After months of anticipation, the Army has released the second version of its Unified Network Plan, building off of the 2021 iteration that aimed to collapse its 69 enterprise and tactical networks into a single, shared one by 2027.
The service’s updated plan, also known as AUN 2.0 and released late last week, reiterates the 1.0 version of paving the way for a unified network but creates a clearer focus on preparing the Army for multi-domain operations.
Since the first plan, AUN 2.0 says, “a confluence of emerging technologies and events has transformed the world into a multidomain, persistently contested information environment that demands a far more data-centric approach to harness the power of the Army Network to fight and win.”
It’s an approach previewed by Gen. Jeth Rey, of the Army’s G6 office, in December.
“It’s gonna enable multi-domain operations. That’s gonna be the key basis of what it’s all about. [It will also] chart this road map of where we’re going for the unified networking by 2027, but then it’s also gonna talk about the critical enablers that’s required for that multi-domain operation by Army 2030,” Rey said then at the Army’s technical exchange meeting in Savannah, Ga. (The 1.0 version had aimed for a multi-domain ready force by 2028, a timeline that has since been pushed back.)
