Army Seeks Funding for Next Generation Command and Control Initiatives
The US Army has requested $3.7 billion in its fiscal year 2027 budget to support its Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) and Command and Control Network Optimized for Warfighting (C2NOW) initiatives. The funding will be used to phase out legacy Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) systems and integrate NGC2 capable hardware into army formations. The majority of the funds will go towards developing, testing, and procuring advanced technologies associated with the NGC2 programme. This was reported by Janes.
