The document highlights the essential role of stable internet connectivity in executing Navy-wide cyber missions and managing updates for DMSS kits used in operations. A failure to secure the renewal could severely impact the agency's mission capability, making it imperative to continue with Cox Business to prevent unacceptable delays and duplication of costs.
