Fleet Tactical Development
Abstract
The Communication Automation Program is a continuing program that provides for automation and communications upgrades for fleet tactical users. It includes Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) and Automated Digital Network System (ADNS). The Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) on each surface, subsurface, air, or fixed US Navy platform utilizes previously installed/existing Line of Sight (LOS)/Extended Line of Sight (ELOS) radios to create a secure gateway that inter-connects all users into a common Radio Frequency (RF) Tactical Network. This network directly supports the Resilient Command and Control (RC2) posture of US-Only and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allied/Coalition users' tactical data information exchanges on each platform between and/or across separately dispersed RF Networks even if Satellite Communications (SATCOM) channels to shore are lost. This system is formally specified by both Fleet Commanders as a threshold capability for global maritime command control and communications in a Distributed Maritime Environment to execute current warfighting plans. Automated Digital Network System (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 is the gateway to tactical Wide Area Network (WAN) afloat for Internet Protocol network operations, supporting information dissemination and external connectivity. ADNS enables services and applications to interconnect to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) ashore via multiple Radio Frequency (RF) resources, to include emerging Assured Command and Control (C2) capabilities and pier connectivity. ADNS will perform technical analyses and engineering efforts associated with implementation of new technology to enable rapid introduction of new products and technology, prevent obsolescence, and end of support issues.
