The article discusses the Army's ongoing efforts to enhance its tactical radio capabilities through the Handheld, Manpack, and Small Form Fit (HMS) program. Soldiers from various units participated in an Operational User Assessment (OUA) to evaluate new software builds, low-cost single channel radios, and upgraded waveforms. The feedback obtained from these assessments will inform future product improvements and help simplify technologies at brigade and lower levels. The Army plans to field the capability improvements tested in FY24 and continue the evaluation cycle for further enhancements. The article emphasizes the importance of putting network and radio technologies in the hands of soldiers to drive the Army's transformation in the future. [Extracted from the article]
