Not buggy software, but access software that had too many requirements that took it from a simple to use program and turned it into a multilevel program with too many embedded nests.

Oh? I thought it worked "just fine", that it was just a matter of "the Army doesn't have a strong enough wi-fi connection to connect to it." The guy who posted that sounded very sure of himself, actually.
I will say, though, that "too many requirements" is one of the ballsier excuses for IT project failure that I've heard. Couldn't you just have said "It was too hard"?
Research DCGS-A on how it connects to the network in a desert environment where you can't set up a fixed antenna and how continuously moving nodes in the air in non-secure airspace can't hold a continuous wifi signal.
Or does this need to made simpler to understand for the simple-minded?
its just the 30 DIFFERENT systems that the army used most dont match with each other
its the same with the army's HR systems DIMARS(a civilian HR program) was supposed to take over fram RLAS, RSMA, AHORS, ITTRS, ATTRS etc....for the army( the LARGEST EMPLOYEER in the world)
one of the problems ...the army uses a SSN , not a payroll number...the other problems with rolling 30 datebases into one...MISMATCH

See, someone who didn't need breadcrumbs.
But back to the other posters: Research the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Look at what it was originally designed to do and all the modifications to it through numerous years and then what it bacame, then compare its original cost to its total cost. Then trade the word Bradley for this system.

So these fools subcontracted two different software vendors that can't "talk" to each other for a communications system? Yep sounds about right for government work.
Jeez who said use walkie talkies? Yep I think the troops have probably already tossed this thing off a cliff somewhere over in the "sticks" and is back to doing what they know. Adapt and overcome.

Why wouldn't they use satellite telecom connections - isn't that enough wi-fi for you?
Too many protocols. but your welcome to research it and bring back your findings to this thread.
There are still people using satellite phones, so the 'protocols' must be functional, even if the defense phones aren't
