Summary	A seamless path for 6.1/6.2 research to transition to full operational CONUS and OCONUS capability does not exist, thus incurring a massive tax in terms of time and cost required to develop and deliver innovative technologies into the war fighter's hands. The logistics, installation, and training of personnel for cutting edge prototype C4ISR systems in CONUS and OCONUS environments pose a difficult challenge requiring technical and personnel excellence and tenacity to complete the job. Intermittent communication between multi-agency and nation bureaucracies add further complications and impediments to the efficient development and implementation of C4ISR systems and technologies.
