... The final tenet is "convergence" -- the ability to rapidly converge effects from multiple domains, simultaneously and nearly continuously, using multiple forms of attack and redundant sensor-to-shooter networks enabled by robust mission command.2 1 U.S. Army, 2014, 2019 Army Modernization Strategy: Investing in the Future, https:// www.army.mil/e2/downloads/rv7/2019_army_modernization_strategy_final.pdf.

... However, military systems employ mobile devices in a mobile environment, requiring close to optimum performance immediately upon deployment. Recently announced DoD investments, including $600 million for 5G experimentation,3 should yield substantial insights that inform prospective tactical application.
From page 57...
... A common Army planning parameter is for 72-hours of self-sustained operations; a future aspiration is to extend that to 7 days. New information technologies may not substantially impact that energy balance, but perhaps requirements for stationary operations or silent mobility (with substantial power requirements for information and other functions)
From page 58...
... Testing and field experimentation are important to validate predictions and to account for network performance in a variety of warfighting scenarios. This experimentation will require emulators for 5G radios and their P&E sources, emulators for mobile air and ground processing and relay nodes along with their P&E sources, models of environmental effects, measurement instruments on real-world systems to collect data during experiments, engineering trade-off analyses to identify the "knees" in network performance, and realistic scenarios to drive model performance and the planning of experiments to validate model predictions.
