“The 2015 budget requests a modest $26 million increase for the Army’s long-haul Warrior Information Tactical Network to $920 million from the $894 million enacted in 2014, with the funds focused on equipping one brigade combat team and one division along with upgrades to hardware already in the field.” The WASP IS ALREADY in the field and therefore funded?”

Here is an article from a couple weeks ago that talks about General Dynamics & the Radio’s that are being used in the Army's Capability Set (CS) 14 .. that includes the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T)

“When connected to WIN-T, the PRC-155 Manpack and PRC-154/154A radios allow dispersed forces to talk, text, share images and collaborate wherever they serve worldwide.”

About the PRC-154/154A radios:

The STAR is the lightest SRW payload to date providing airborne qualified SRW mesh network functionality and is fully interoperable with both Thales and General Dynamics AN/PRC-154A Rifleman Radios.

APRIL 2013: The Thales Communications SRW Tactical Airborne Relay (STAR) has recently flown for the U.S. Army’s Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE) aboard Lockheed Martin’s Desert Hawk UAV and Space and Missile Defense Command Wasp Aerostat. During the event, the STAR successfully supported SRW network extension and allowed for the passing of voice and data between warfighters beyond the terrestrial line-of-sight.
