Phase
Tactical cellular technology has been around since the 1980’s. GTE, which is now General Dynamics established this technology for the Army in 1985 (Thompson, 2012). The first cellular network used by the United States Army was the Mobile Subscriber Equipment network. It was christened in 1991 in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Mobile Subscriber Equipment network is the foundation of the tactical communications network and precursor to Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (Army). General Dynamics Mission Systems built Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T), a voice and data services that can function without the using a fixed infrastructure (Army). The 10th Mountain Division was the first to use the …show more content…
This phase should take about three months (Fortress LTE Virtual Core Network (vCN), 2016). Ultimately, the timeline will depend on when UNICEF purchases the equipment. Once the equipment is purchased UNICEF will need to select employees or volunteers that will need to be trained on how to set-up and use the equipment in remote locations. These UNICEF representatives will also need to be able to train other UNICEF employees or volunteers. UNICEF and General Dynamics Mission Systems will need to allow for time to test network and fix any variables and challenges that may arise during testing. Once there has been successful implementation several times and the system has been tested several times, user implementation document should be started. All and all the timeline really depends on UNCIEF’s …show more content…
General Dynamics Mission Systems will be the lead on the initial implementation process, while UNICEF’s employees and volunteers will be trained on the process for future implementation. UNICEF is the stakeholder and therefore the variables will affect them the most. Variables that could affect the project come in the form time, money, and resources. In order to stay on track when it comes to time, money, and resources it is important to adhere to budgets and schedules for time and resource management. UNICEF helps out in remote area so the variable that is the hardest to plan for is the environment and what they may or may not have access to. It is essential that the network can handle function in a disaster area or hostile. Warfighter Information Network-Tactical technology is ideal for such areas and has a history of performance in hostile situations and will lessen variables dealing with disaster and hostile
