Communications Air-Borne Layer Expansion (CABLE)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the need for CABLE in FY 2008. The outcome of CABLE is to demonstrate airborne networking for tactical Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multi-National (JIIM) users who lack mobile and dynamic connectivity throughout the full range of operations. CABLE will enable interoperability between air, land, and maritime domain communication systems; enable robust information sharing; and provide strategic communications reach back in an austere or over-subscribed Satellite Communications (SATCOM) environment. Outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated include; (1) seamless interconnection of multiple air, maritime and land network coverage areas supporting voice and data; (2) cross-band and multi-routing-domain connectivity within and between coverage areas through IP routing; (3) the extension of command and control connectivity throughout the full range of operations; and (4) enhanced network services for voice, video and data communications over a common IP network. U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) are the sponsors. US Navy is the lead service; US Air Force is the supporting service. Transition to the Service Programs of Record (POR) is in FY 2011.
