Navy Strategic Comms

Abstract

The FY 2017 funding request was reduced by $0.412M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The Shore to Ship Communication System develops communication elements which support the Navy's Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) requirements, providing various communications infrastructure and elements from the regional Submarine Operating Authority (SUBOPAUTH) to the deployed strategic platform (fleet ballistic missile submarines). This portfolio of programs designs and develops shore-to-ship transmit and receive communications systems (i.e., Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS) and SUBOPAUTH Command, Control, and Communications (C3) Systems) in support of communications with all submarine types (i.e., SSN, SSGN, and SSBN). Realignment of funds from OPN to RDTEN for Nuclear Command, Control & Communications Nova Technical Change (NC3 NTC) to complete Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and operational test and evaluation of the Nova software replacement with the Navy NC3 Emergency Action Message (EAM) Enhanced Technology (NEET) Software. NEET is being developed under an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Technology Insertion Program for Savings (TIPS) initiative to mitigate supply chain risk and comply with enhanced IA standards identified by National Security Agency (NSA) and Task Force Urgent Sentinel (TFUS). The Navy Strategic Communications Project responds to emerging E-6B Airborne Strategic Command, Control and Communications capability requirements by performing technical evaluations, modeling and simulation, investigative ground and flight testing, enhanced software modifications and development of configuration modifications. The E-6B is a manned airborne platform that provides survivable, endurable and reliable Command, Control and Communications capability in support of the President, Secretary of Defense and United States strategic and non-strategic forces. These efforts support follow-on aircraft modification procurements necessary to ensure interoperability in information-assured network-centric strategic environments.
