What Is WIN-T?

The WIN-T program is the Army's high-speed, high-capacity tactical communications network to distribute classified
and unclassified information through all echelons of Army command by means of voice, data, and real-time video.
WIN-T was being developed and fielded in three increments.

WIN-T Increment 1

WJN=T Inrement 1 is a stationary network for command posts and units at battalion-level and above. It provides a full
range of at-the-halt data, voice, and video communications. The Army began fielding WIN-T Increment 1 in 2004 and
completed fielding in 2012.

WIN-T Increment 2

WTN-T Incrment 2 is intended to be the Army's initial mobile network providing combat vehicles with on-the-move
communications, mission command, and situational awareness. WIN-T Increment 2 is an Acquisitin _Catgry iC
Ma or Defense Acquisition Program with a total life cycle cost of $20 billion and a total procurement cost of $9.1
billion. It was first fielded in October 2012. As of March 2017, WIN-T Increment 2 had been fi   to 14 Brigade
Combat Teams (BCTs), 7 Division Headquarters, and the U.S. Army Signal School and the program remained on track
to field two units per year.

WIN-T Increment 3

WIN-T Increment 3 was intended to be the Army's full mobile network designed to provide on-the-move mission
command for all Army commanders-from theater to company level. In FY2014, it was _rgamrucLu due to cost
concerns with selected Increment 3 capabilities to be incorporated into the WIN-T Increment 2 program.
