From June 7th-9th, 2022, the SoCal Tech Bridge and 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment (3rd MLR) jointly hosted the Expeditionary Advanced 5G Operations (EA5O) collision event with the goal of helping to shape the Marine Corps’ fighting force of the future. Serious discussions took place and cutting-edge 5G related technology were displayed aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii. To arrive at such a promising goal, the SCTB and 3rd MLR assembled key governmental stakeholders and 5G industry experts for a unique opportunity to directly interact, demonstrate and provide feedback on advanced tactical technology that supports Marine fighting needs.  To capstone the three-day event a new and exciting pilot project, the Electric Tactical Humanitarian Operations Recovery (eTHOR), was introduced. ​The collection of advanced 5G, telecommunications technology and industry subject matter experts gathered at EA50 was impressive, and the group was inspired by the art of the possible demonstrated by their technology.  Industry partners included AWS, which demonstrated tech tools supporting energy logistics, private 5G connectivity, edge computing and storage-based workloads; Athonet demonstrated off mobile core network technology for private LTE and 5G networks; and Digital Force Technologies displayed surveillance and sensor solutions. Also critical is the electric and autonomous DANNAR vehicle, which will be eTHOR’s initial exportable energy mobility platform.  Other participating industry experts included CANA, DCI Next, Group W, 8VC, and 9-Line Solutions. ​Government officials offered valuable input to Federal strategic goals and provided insights into current and future projects.  Participating representatives hailed from the Naval Information Warfare Center-Pacific; the Operational Energy Capability Improvement Fund; a suite of OUSD programs including Energy, R&E, and 5G Operate Through; and Joint Base Pearl Harbor USDOSD Energy. To close out a three-day event, the eTHOR project was introduced.  eTHOR will marry modularized 5G capabilities with an electric autonomous vehicle (AV) on a mission ready platform.  This combined approach will supply exportable power, powerful 5G capabilities, facilitate interoperability, and serve as a foundation for advanced use case experimentation and testing. eTHOR is uniquely suited to build and demonstrate capabilities by leveraging work on well-established and related efforts. The EA50 event helped understand current command and control capabilities while envisioning feasible integration points for cutting edge technology and 5G capabilities that will improve warfighting effectiveness in future distributed and agile operations.
