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). Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Navy Modernized Hybrid Solution (NMHS) (formerly Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Nova Technical Change (NC3 NTC)) is modernizing the system prime mission product, the NC3 messaging software application. This software technical refresh will ensure the software meets the Message Handling Subsystem requirements and undergo operational test and evaluation. The software tech refresh will enhance the cyber security posture by complying with enhanced Information Assurance (IA) standards identified by National Security Agency (NSA). 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.
