Consolidated Afloat Network Ent Services(CANES)

Abstract

Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) is the Navy's Program of Record (POR) to replace and modernize existing afloat networks with the necessary hardware, software and enterprise services infrastructure to enable information warfare from and within the tactical domain. CANES provides complete infrastructure inclusive of hardware, software, processing, storage and end user devices for the Unclassified, Coalition, Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) enclaves for all basic network services (email, web, chat, collaboration) to a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines and maritime operations centers. 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 the Application Integration process, which is used to evaluate and validate compatibility between CANES and the Navy-validated applications, systems 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 CANES to field, host, and sustain their capability because they no longer provide their own hardware. In addition, 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 is programmed to develop regular technical updates to its hardware and software baselines to ensure that no cybersecurity vulnerabilities exist due to hardware and software obsolescence. CANES is based on the overarching concept of reducing the number of afloat networks and providing enhanced efficiency through a single engineering focus on integrated technical solutions. This will allow for streamlined acquisition, contracting, and test events, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple current configuration management baselines, logistics, and training efforts into a unified support structure. In FY 2018, CANES RDT&E investment will complete TI 2 hardware and software baseline development and initiate development of TI 3 software baseline including E2C laboratory engineering efforts. Perform systems engineering efforts for TI 3 to complete functional baselines and update technical data packages.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: N/A Funding: N/A Schedule: Operational commitments for the CANES Force Level Follow-On Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) test platform caused the Force Level DT and Force Level FOT&E test events to be re-phased. Development Testing for submarines shifted to Q1FY19 due to submarine test platform operational commitments. Full Deployment has been re-phased to align with program's Full Deployment Decision (FDD), which was updated to accommodate acquisition documentation requirements. FDD was achieved in 1QFY16.
