PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

NEC MISSION

Execute and Implement Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Management (C4IM) policies, standards, architectures, programs, plans and budget in support of the National Training Center and the United States Army Garrison (USAG) Fort Irwin supporting the war fighter.

Fort Irwin and today’s Army rely on a combination of analog, digital and electronic communications to conduct daily business. Today’s communications methodologies have removed traditional geographical barriers and allow for “virtual” messages, telephone conversations, and video conferences with people, around the world, with the click of a mouse. Traditional telephone service has evolved to include the transmission of data packets, via Unclassified and Classified Local Area Networks that interconnect other networks, via the World Wide Web. Video Teleconferencing and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) have become the norm and allow parties located on distant ends of the globe to have crystal clear, visual and voice communications. The implementation of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) will expand, from millions to billions, the number of routable addresses, which connect millions of computer users around the world.

The Network Enterprise Center commands, controls, and defends the Garrison Installation Campus Area Network (ICAN) and supports operating and generating forces engaged in full spectrum operations enhancing battle command through the innovative, secure, and reliable delivery of Land War Net (LWN) capabilities.
