Consolidated Afloat Network Ent Services(CANES)

Abstract

Consolidated Afloat Networks & Enterprise Services (CANES) is the Navy's only Program of Record (POR) to replace existing afloat networks and provide the necessary infrastructure for applications, systems, and services required for the Navy to dominate the Cyber Warfare domain. CANES is the technical and infrastructure consolidation of existing, separately managed afloat networks including Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System - Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Networks, and Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN). These legacy afloat network designs are currently End of Life and CANES will replace these unaffordable and obsolete networks. The fundamental goal of CANES is to bring Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS), within which current and future iterations of Navy Tactical Network computing and storage capabilities will reside. CANES will provide complete infrastructure inclusive of hardware, software, processing, storage, and end user devices for Unclassified, Coalition, Secret and SCI for all basic network services (email, web, chat, collaboration) to a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines, Maritime Operations Centers, Regional Network Operations and Security Centers (RNOSC) and Aircraft. In addition, hosted applications and systems inclusive of Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Information Operations, Logistics and Business domains require the CANES infrastructure to operate in the tactical environment. Integrating these applications and systems is accomplished through Application Integration (AI), the engineering process used to evaluate and validate compatibility between CANES and the Navy-validated applications, systems and services that will utilize the CANES infrastructure and services. Specific programs, such as Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N), Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M), Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS), and Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS), are dependent on the CANES Common Computing Environment (CCE) to field, host, and sustain their capability because they no longer provide their own hardware. CANES requires that Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) field prior to or concurrently with CANES due to the architectural reliance between the two programs. CANES will develop updates on a rolling four year hardware baseline and a two year software baseline. CANES is based on the overarching concept of reducing the number of afloat network baselines and providing enhanced efficiency through a single engineering focus on integrated technical solutions. This will allow for streamlined acquisition, contracting test events, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple current configuration management baselines, logistics, and training efforts into a unified support structure. Platform Sets define phases of CANES system development efforts. Each platform set consists of different ship class design baselines. In FY 2016, CANES RDT&E investment will support completion of Technical Insertion (TI) software baseline development and initiate development for TI 2 hardware and software baseline including E2C laboratory test efforts. Perform systems engineering efforts to complete functional baselines and updates to technical data packages. Initiate Development Testing (DT) in support of submarine testing. The Communications Automation Program - This project is a continuing program that provides for automation and communications upgrades for Fleet tactical users. It includes Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) and High Frequency Internet Protocol/Sub Network Relay. 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 technical Wide Area Network (WAN) afloat for Internet Protocol network operations, supporting information dissemination and external connectivity. ADNS allows services and applications to interconnect to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) ashore via multiple Radio Frequency (RF) resources and pier connectivity. In FY 2016-2020 ADNS funding resides in PE 0204163N (Fleet Tactical Development).

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $0.7 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: N/A Funding: N/A Schedule: Impacts resulting from operational ship availability timelines for the CANES Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) and Follow-On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) test platforms caused the Unit Level DT1, Unit Level DT2, IOT&E and Force Level DT and Force Level FOT&E test events to be re-phased. The delays to the ship availability timeline also caused IOC to be re-phased based on IOC definition in the program's Capability Development Document (CDD) for IOC to be declared once first installation is completed. CANES development of Platform Sets 2, 3 & 4 has been re-phased to include development in FY 2014 to align with ship installation schedules of platforms added to the CANES Target Inventory Objective. CANES Limited Deployment re-phased to reflect Limited Deployment authorization provided at Milestone C.
