Long-Haul Communications - DCS
Abstract
The Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) is the Department of Defense (DoD)’s consolidated worldwide telecommunications capability that provides secure, end-to-end information transport for DoD operations. It also provides the warfighter and the Combatant Commands (COCOMs) with a robust Command, Control, Communications, Computing, and Intelligence infrastructure to support DoD net-centric missions and business requirements. The Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN) is a DoD Secure Voice, Command and Control Network that is controlled and directed by the Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. It provides multi-level secure, rapid, ad hoc, voice calling and conferencing capability to the President, Secretary of Defense, Services, COCOMs, subordinate organizations (military and civilian) and coalition allies. DRSN also supports the National Emergency Action Decision Network (NEADN)/Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) and the Enhanced Pentagon Capability/Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network. These funds support three major efforts: DISN Systems Engineering Support: This effort includes: engineering for Internet Protocol and optical transport capabilities to ensure the essential operations of a robust and secure DISN; refreshing the systems that instrument and automate the operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning functions and creating a single DISN-wide view for network managers and operators; other activities in support of the DRSN communications capabilities. NEADN/PNVC: The NEADN provides selected system engineering for continued development and testing of the PNVC equipment for senior leaders. The PNVC system provides a military satellite-based, survivable, secure, and near toll-quality voice conferencing capability for the President, Secretary of Defense, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior national/military leaders anywhere in the world as needed. Funding supports the acquisition activities for the PNVC baseband equipment, including critical and essential engineering required to develop new vocoder and cryptographic and audio-summing equipment. Distributed Tactical Communications System (DTCS): The DTCS is a variation of the Iridium satellite phone used by the warfighter under the Enhanced Mobile Satellite Service. DTCS improves Iridium’s capability to network and sub-network users to improve performance, reduce end-to-end latency and improve data handling to the handset. New handsets and software modifications will be required to utilize the improved service and allow Iridium satellites to “relay” information between the satellites. Funding provides engineering, development and testing resources for continued improvement to the Naval Surface Weapons Center’s Technology Prototype to a fully fielded operational capability. Handsets are already fielded as part of a Central Command Joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2012 increase of +$5.384 provided systems engineering, test and evaluation, and program support for DoD Mobility and transition of Integrated SATCOM Operational Management (ISOM) software and hardware into the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) Operational Support System. The increase was partially offset by reduction in conference audio requirements for the Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC). The FY 2014 increase of +$14.871 will fund the development of Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) conference management software, additional hardware for the baseband enclosure for PNVC and implementation of Secure Mobile Infrastructure for DoD’s Mobility program.
