00:04.140 --> 00:06.420
Yeah , from soldiers , radio and

00:06.420 --> 00:08.650
television . This is the army . Now ,

00:08.660 --> 00:10.660
the army is gearing up for another

00:10.660 --> 00:12.490
round of semi annual network

00:12.490 --> 00:16.300
integration evaluations . This N . I .

00:16.310 --> 00:18.570
E . Is the second hosted by the Army

00:18.580 --> 00:20.691
and is a new approach in the field of

00:20.691 --> 00:22.802
army acquisitions , in which the army

00:22.802 --> 00:24.890
invites industry down to demonstrate

00:24.890 --> 00:27.160
and test their various products with

00:27.160 --> 00:30.180
existing Army capabilities . What makes

00:30.190 --> 00:32.301
all of the network integration events

00:32.540 --> 00:35.160
unique is not so much industry

00:35.160 --> 00:37.740
participation , but the speed at which

00:37.740 --> 00:39.851
we can bring industry and we can pull

00:39.851 --> 00:41.962
industry for potential capability gap

00:41.962 --> 00:43.962
solution by holding the evaluations

00:43.962 --> 00:45.962
twice a year and incorporating both

00:45.962 --> 00:48.129
successes and key lessons learned from

00:48.129 --> 00:50.770
the previous and IYC , the army is able

00:50.770 --> 00:52.881
to keep abreast with the most current

00:52.881 --> 00:54.714
technology , frequently test its

00:54.714 --> 00:56.710
effectiveness and ensure its

00:56.710 --> 00:58.877
interoperability with the current army

00:58.877 --> 01:01.950
inventory . That's the army now .
