  8-48. The CSS VSAT also allows access to the NIPRNET, the Army’s version of the Internet, and Voice
  over Internet Protocol (VoIP) from any location in the world where a satellite signal can be transmitted and
  received. The CSS VSAT will have a direct impact on the successful transmission of data via satellite
  throughout the LANDWARNET.
  8-49. Each FMSU is authorized one CSS VSAT on its Table of Organization and Equipment. As of FY13
  all Financial Management Support Units have been issued CSS VSAT. New requirements have been
  identified and sent to the CSS VSAT Program Manager for approval.
  WARFIGHTER INFORMATION NETWORK (WIN-T)
  8-50. WIN-T provides the communications network (satellite and terrestrial) and services that allow the
  Soldier to send and receive information to execute the mission. Information is the element of combat power
  that allows commanders to magnify the effects of maneuver, firepower and protection. WIN-T is the
  transformational command and control system that manages tactical information transport at theater
  through company echelons in support of unified land operations. WIN-T will be fielded in three (3)
  increments.
  8-51. WIN-T Increment 1is similar to a home Internet connection, WIN-T Increment 1 provides a full
  range of data, voice and video communications at-the-quick-halt, allowing Soldiers to simply pull over on
  the side of the road to communicate without wasting valuable time setting up complicated infrastructure.
  WIN-T Increment 1a upgrades allow the former Joint Network Node (JNN) satellite capability to access the
  Ka-band defense Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellites, reducing reliance on expensive
  commercial Ku-band satellites. The new WIN-T Increment 1 Colorless Core upgrade enhances the security
  and interoperability with future WIN-T Increments; takes advantage of the Network Centric Waveform, a
  dynamic waveform that optimizes bandwidth and satellite utilization; and allows WIN-T Increment 1 and
  Increment 2 to share the same baseline set of Network Operations tools used by communications officers to
  manage the network.
  8-52. WIN-T Increment 2 supports operations while on-the-move and pushes that integrated on-the-move
  capability down to the company level for the first time. It also introduces networking radios and enhances
  Network Operations (NetOps) for network planning and monitoring. Tactical Communication Nodes
  (TCNs) in WIN-T Increment 2 are the first step to providing a mobile infrastructure on the battlefield.
  When the TCNs are combined with the Points of Presence, Vehicle Wireless Packages, and Soldier
  Network Extensions, WIN-T Increment 2 enables mobile mission command from division to company in a
  mobile, ad-hoc, self-forming, self-healing network. WIN-T Increment 2 embeds communications
  equipment into select combat vehicles, bringing Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET)
  connectivity to the platform. WIN-T equipped staffs have the ability to maneuver on the battlefield and
  maintain connectivity to the network to ensure situational awareness and maintain command and control of
  forces. With WIN-T Increment 2, Soldiers can utilize applications for maneuver, fires and intelligence from
  inside vehicles, enabling commanders to make decisions on-the-move rather than being tied down to a
  fixed command post and ensuring effective and unpredictable offensive and defensive tasks.
  8-53. WIN-T Increment 3 currently in development and testing and will provide the “full” on-the-move
  networking capability by improving the line-of-sight capability fielded under Increment 2, by providing an
  air tier to the existing WIN-T architecture, refining the network architecture and building the next
  generation of Network Operations (NetOps) for network planning and monitoring the network. These
  improvements will provide a leap forward in network capacity as well as improve the overall reliability and
  robustness of the network. The air tier will offload network traffic from overburdened and expensive
  satellites. With the addition of the air tier, the Army will have a three-tiered WIN-T communication
  network -- terrestrial, aerial and celestial. The key component of WIN-T Increment 3 is the Joint
  Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JC4ISR)
  radio combined with the Highband Networking Waveform (HNW), which significantly improves line-of-
  sight communications throughput capacity and extends ranges. WIN-T Increment 3 continues to improve
  the management, planning and defense of the network by providing additional NetOps capabilities used by
  communication officers
