Jane’s International Defence Review2019年11月4日报道，为推进5G技术军事应用，美国国防部近期选定四个军事基地用于5G技术相关原型平台部署和软件测试，分别是位于华盛顿州的陆军刘易斯-麦科德联合基地、犹他州的空军希尔基地、加利福尼亚州的海军圣地亚哥基地和佐治亚州奥尔巴尼的海军陆战队后勤基地。这些基地可提供便利的频谱资源利用途径、成熟的光纤和无线基础设施、关键设备的访问权限，能为基础设施改进和更新需求提供支持，具备使用动态频谱共享进行可控实验能力。

Pentagon selects US bases to host 5G network experiments

The US Department of Defense (DoD) has identified several US bases that will be test sites for the Pentagon’s wide-ranging effort to integrate 5G technologies into US armed forces facilities worldwide.

Pentagon officials selected US Army Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state, Hill Air Force Base in Utah, Naval Base San Diego in California, and Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany in Georgia as the first four US bases to receive prototype platforms and software linked to the department’s 5G effort.

“The bases were selected for their ability to provide streamlined access to site spectrum bands, mature fibre and wireless infrastructure, access to key facilities, support for new or improved infrastructure requirements, and the ability to conduct controlled experimentation with dynamic spectrum sharing,” according to a 31 October DoD statement.

The facilities will likely be used for experimentation efforts linked to a draft request for proposals (RFP) to be issued by DoD leaders in November. The draft RFP looks to exploit emerging 5G capabilities for military use via “large-scale experimentation and prototyping” in several different areas, according to a 23 October Pentagon statement on the proposal’s pending release.
