AFLOAT NETWORKS
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 to a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines and Maritime Operations Centers. CANES services include application hosting, data transport and storage, system management, cyber security, email, web, chat, collaboration, and voice and video services. 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. It allows for streamlined acquisition, contracting, test events, sustainment, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple configuration management baselines, logistics, and training efforts into a single unified support structure. More than two hundred (200) 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. 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), no longer provide their own independent network hardware and now depend on CANES to field, host, and sustain their capabilities. The CANES Application Integration program provides common software governance, testing, processes, and tools to application developers, and evaluates and confirms compatibility between CANES and the hosted applications prior to fielding. CANES also provides a set of capabilities called Agile Core Services (ACS) which brings common network services to allow hosted application developers to focus on the unique capabilities they provide. CANES is funded and programmed to develop regular technical updates with an agile and robust hardware and software baseline development cycle necessary to pace rapidly evolving cyber security threats and meet emerging operational demands within the tactical domain. In order to deliver a mission effective, secure and affordable afloat network, CANES implements a Development Operations (DevOps) framework to improve its engineering processes and speed the deployment of new cyber security, application hosting and baseline updates. In FY 2022, CANES will complete the development of Technical Insertion (TI) 4 hardware and software baseline requirements including Agile Core Services (ACS), E2C laboratory engineering efforts and implementation of a Development Operations development and testing environment, perform Application Integration System Integration Testing (SIT) to support TI 4 software development efforts; and begin development of Technical Insertion (TI) 5 hardware and software baselines. Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) provides cyber hardened warfighting critical afloat to shore wide area networking. Capabilities include routing, switching, baseband, configuration and monitoring capabilities that interconnect fleet tactical and coalition partner enclaves worldwide. 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. In FY 2022, ADNS will perform technical analyses and engineering efforts associated with the implementation of new technology to enable rapid introduction of new products and technology, prevent obsolescence, and mitigate end of life support issues. ADNS will continue the development and design of ADNS hardware and software in support of Advanced Networking Tactical System (ANTS) on Unmanned Carrier Aviation (UCA) platforms. ADNS will also begin a software baseline development for the next variant of ADNS. This development will include the start of requirements definition, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), future test planning and initial system architecture development. Programs will implement digital system-of-systems engineering by using tools such as Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Twins to create adaptable digital models to optimize system engineering from design, development and testing to operations and sustainment. Programs will use Development, Security and Operations (DevSecOps) processes for continuous development, integration, testing and deployment, along with common platform services such as Agile Core Services (ACS), for faster fielding of capability.
