作为美军推进战术边缘先进计算与网络能力建设的组成部分，陆军高层重视研究推动云计算能力向已部署部队前移的方案选择。陆军战术指挥、控制、通信局（C3T）项目执行官罗伯特·柯林斯准将称，致力于战术级云计算潜在方案研究的信息技术工程师们，当前的工作重心聚焦在基于预编程边缘节点网络的运用上，小型边缘节点战术云网络是陆军高层正在关注的近期可行的作战云计算能力，可实现更快地检索、访问、合成和处理战场边缘数据。这些工程师们还在分析确定对边缘节点战术云网络更适合的数据规模和数据类型，也将确定更适合于作战场景的数据集。

US Army leaders eye tactical cloud network applications

US Army leaders are working potential options to drive cloud-computing capabilities down to deployed combat formations, as part of an overall effort by the US armed forces to push advanced computing and networking capabilities to the tactical edge.

The near-term focus of army information technology engineers on potential tactical-level cloud-computing options centres on the use of pre-programmed edge node-based networks, said US Army Brigadier General Robert Collins, the programme executive officer for the service’s Command, Control, and Communications – Tactical (C3T) directorate.

“Much like an operational unit deploys with a series of class three or class five supplies,” smaller, edge-node tactical cloud networks pre-programmed with “routinely accessed data that is stored at the edge, so they can retrieve, access, synthesise, and act on that data faster”, is one viable, near-term capability army leaders are eyeing for combat cloud computing, he said.

Army engineers are still analysing to determine the amount of data and types of data that would be beneficial for an edge-node tactical cloud network, he explained. “Is it forward in the edge cloud, or is it stored, for not as routinely accessed data?” Gen Collins said, referring to the type of ongoing analysis for tactical cloud integration. “We have tools within the network that can help define what types of data needs prioritised … be able to tag that data, have a network to recognise that data, and then have [network operations] tools” that can further define what data sets are applicable in a given combat scenario, Brig Gen Collins explained.
