Fleet Tactical Development

Abstract

The Communications Automation Program - This project is a continuing program that provides for automation and communications upgrades for fleet tactical users. It includes Tactical Messaging, Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), Tactical Switching Ashore, High Frequency Internet Protocol/Sub Network Relay. In Fiscal Year (FY) 10 and 11, begin Common Radio Room communications for requirements analysis, system design and the Mobile Networking High Band Increments 1 and 2. ADNS is the method by which tactical Navy units transfer Internet Protocol (IP) data to Navy and Department of Defense communities on the Global Information Grid (GIG). ADNS serves as a gateway to enable joint and coalition interoperability for these tactical assets and ensures GIG connectivity. ADNS allows unclassified, secret, top secret traffic, and various joint, allied, and coalition services to interconnect to the Defense Information Systems Network ashore via Radio paths and pier connectivity. Tactical Messaging: Tactical Messaging developed joint, combined, individual, and organizational message handling for ships and submarines, Tactical Mobile units, Marine Corps vans, and selected Military Sealift Command and Coast Guard platforms. Tactical Messaging develops fleet interfaces to the Defense Messaging System and legacy ashore messaging systems. Tactical Switching Ashore will support the migration of the shore sites and their terrestrial interconnections into a coherent, scalable, network capability. The Shore to Ship Communications System develops communication system elements which provide positive command and control of deployed submarines. The Shore to Ship Communications System which provides continuous assessment of the command and control links between the National Command Authority and missile platforms is conducted to ensure compliance with Nuclear Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC). The Shore to Ship Communications System addresses joint system design issues for Emergency Action Message (EAM) distribution to all nuclear platforms and provides evaluation of joint interoperability of EAM delivery systems. Tools are developed to provide strategic command and control planning within the submarine shore infrastructure to support deployed ballistic missile submarines. FY11 funds will be used for ADNS development, an increase in Common Radio Room development, Maritime Aerial Layer Network (MALN), an increase in development for NC3 LTS and an increase in development in Low Band Universal Communications System to reach Milestone C.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: ADNS: ADNS Increment (INC) III Submarine development efforts were added to reflect current requirements. The contract award for the INC III Submarine Development was delayed due to legal and contractual issues. The delay impacted the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR) and Test Asset Decision events. Operational Testing (OT) for ADNS INC III planned for 2nd Qtr FY10. Full Rate Production Decision Review (FRPDR) planned for 4th Qtr FY10. MALN Inc 1 (Formerly MNH Inc 1) : Milestone B slipped from 3Q FY10 to 2Q FY11. No impact to related BLI 3057 OPN. NC3 LTS: Milestone B slipped from 4Q FY10 to 4Q FY11. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
