Long-Haul Communications - DCS
Abstract
Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) is the Department of Defense's (DoD's) consolidated secure worldwide telecommunications infrastructure that provides end-to-end global secure transport, with direct support to warfighters and the Combatant Commanders. The DISN serves as the enabling foundational layer for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence missions via worldwide robust & secure long-haul communications infrastructure. The DISN provides global connectivity across multiple transmission capabilities ranging from fiber optic infrastructure with leased telecommunications services, augmented with advanced encryption and anti-tamper technologies to support DoD mission 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 capabilities to the President, Secretary of Defense, Services, Combatant Command (COCOM), subordinate organizations (military and civilian) and coalition allies. DRSN also supports the Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) (formerly known as National Emergency Action Decision Network (NEADN)) and the Enhanced Pentagon Capability/Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network. The RDT&E Funding supports the following efforts: •DISN Networking - TR (formally known as Next Generation Networking Technologies): Provides engineering technical expertise to update the global network with the latest technologies. The initiative also helps to better defend DoD communications infrastructures from near-peer adversarial capabilities. •DRSN: Development and implementation of Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) architecture for DRSN Global Network. Funding also supports Peripheral and Component Re-Design to continue interoperability between DRSN and secure terminal equipment (STE) operators, as well as vIPer universal secure phone operators. This equipment (not commercially available) satisfies unique military requirements for multi-level secure voice services and conferencing capabilities in support of the Defense Red Switch Network, a critical component of the National Military Command System (NMCS). Commercial equipment is not certified by the NSA to perform necessary encryption requirements of DRSN and Secure Voice Conferencing. •DoD Mobility: The DoD Mobility program performs research, testing, and evaluation of the virtual/zero desktop infrastructure and applications that will enable the warfighter login to any device, anytime, anywhere. The virtual/zero desktop infrastructure and zero-sign on experience will enable the warfighter to access mobile device applications by entering credentials once. The warfighter will then be automatically verified as he or she accesses additional applications. Additionally, it supports the continued evolution and expansion of Unified Endpoint Management Capabilities for unclassified and classified mobility within the Department. The Unified Endpoint Management Capabilities are a class of software tools that provide a single management interface for mobile devices, enhancing user experience for the warfighter and COCOMs. The Mobility program is also expanding research on Derived Credential capabilities, which will allow for the automation of the operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning functions of unclassified and classified mobile endpoints.
