Navy Strategic Comms

Abstract

The Shore to Ship Communication System develops communication elements which support Navy Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) strategic requirements, connecting the President of the United States (POTUS) to Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN) via the Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS). This portfolio of programs provides design and development for shore-to-ship transmit and receive communications systems. The portfolio also designs and develops shore-to-ship communications systems (i.e., Submarine Operating Authority Command, Control, and Communications (C3) Systems) in support of tactical communications with other submarine types (i.e., SSN & SSGN). Realignment of funds from OPN to RDTEN for Nuclear Command, Control & Communications Nova Technical Change (NC3 NTC) to complete tech refresh and operational test and evaluation of the Nova software. The Nova software tech refresh will 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.
