Communication Automation
Abstract
This project is a continuing program that provides for automation and communications upgrades for Fleet tactical users. Tactical Messaging provides processing, storage, distribution and forwarding of General Service organizational messages on ships and submarines. Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) provides routing, switching, baseband, configuration and monitoring capabilities for interconnecting naval, coalition and joint enclaves worldwide. ADNS utilizes off the shelf equipment and network protocols as specified by the Joint Technical Architecture. ADNS Increment (INC) II provides capabilities of load balancing, radio frequency restoral, initial quality of service to include application prioritization, initial traffic management, and enhancements designed to maximize use of available bandwidth for surface, shore, and airborne platforms. ADNS INC III converges all Navy tactical voice, video, and data requirements into a converged IP data stream. ADNS INC III interoperates with higher bandwidth satellites, supporting up to 25 mega bytes per second (Mbps) of throughput on unit level ships and up to 50 Mbps on force level ships. Increment III architecture also incorporates an IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and a cipher text security architecture to align to joint and coalition networks, in addition to greater security utilizing the High Assurance Internet Protocol (IP) Encryptor devices. ADNS INC III serves as the Navy tactical interface for IP Networking with Joint Tactical Radio System, and Advanced Extremely High Frequency. Future ADNS capabilities will utilize emerging technologies to integrate with additional Department of Defense C4I Programs to improve interstrike group networking and extend the network to the tactical edge. The Tactical Switching Ashore (TSw) program rebuilds 1970s based shore high frequency based infrastructure to current and future scalable technical standards in order to provide a commercially standardized, technically compliant, and robust network. TSw is the shore component for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services. TSw will migrate the shore sites and their terrestrial interconnections into a coherent, scalable, network-centric capability. While leveraging off recent shore upgrades for the major shore communication regions, TSw will incorporate a system integrator approach to develop, design, and implement a plan to remove bandwidth limitations, create failover communication paths, provide secure and available communications, provide dynamic bandwidth management, and reduce costly dependencies on legacy systems. This plan is designed to increase efficiencies, and reduce manpower and the overall footprint of the Navy's shore sites. In addition, TSw will provide an enterprise-wide network operations capability providing full network situational awareness, network visualization, network management and control, and automation capabilities. TSw will bring new technologies and capabilities that converge legacy, circuit-based, communications to a standard, integrated, and interoperable IP network. This enabling system, of which United States Navy enterprise network (FORCEnet) is a part, supports the four pillars of Sea Power 21 by providing the infrastructure required to support collaborative decision-making, faster decision cycles, and shared superior situational awareness required for overseas contingency operations and to mitigate network vulnerabilities. FY10 will continue the development for the implementation of all-IP interoperability allowing for the removal of the remaining legacy and Navy network architectures. TSw will develop the end to end quality of service providing global situational awareness, survivability, and bandwidth expansion to ensure a robust, reliable, scaleable, sustainable, and dynamic failover global network architecture. TSw will develop the integration plan to maximize the DISN core for transport, research, develop and test, and route diversification, and distributed joint services to allow access anywhere via distributed services. In FY11, TSw has no developmental requirements. Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) Increment 1 is the new name for the High Frequency Internet Protocol/Sub Network Relay program replaces legacy Battle force Email 66 and enables delivery of IP based collaboration services over high frequency (HF) assets. The intent is to provide an interoperable, low data rate, multi-node, beyond-line-of-sight tactical edge networking capability using existing HF radio infrastructure. Supports Tactical Edge Networking and provides data path backbone for both airborne and afloat forces. Supports increased data exchange with coalition forces. Maritime Aerial Layer Network (MALN) Increment 1 (previously Mobile Networking High Band (MNH)) is the Navy solution set to support the Joint Aerial Layer Network (JALN). This collaborative effort will provide an overarching solution to fleet communications and networking requirements. MALN provides an advanced wideband communications network which was initiated in response to Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) requirements to communicate with off-board systems via a NAVSEA SBIR program. Inc. 1 will provide a networking radio designed to operate in an open ocean environment and support multiple naval platforms. This radio will provide a common wireless networking capability aboard LCS with applicability to other hull types, as well as other networked applications. Maritime Aerial Layer Network (MALN) Increment 2 is an advanced wideband communications network which will transport intelligence data, non-traditional Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) communications, and backbone network traffic using IP-based connectivity to achieve GIG (Global Information Grid) interoperability. It will reuse frequencies via narrow-beam antennas. Inc. 2 provides theater-wide connectivity to units outside degraded satellite communication areas. Features next generation directional antenna technology to support multiple node connections.
