Communication Automation
Abstract
This project unit is a continuing program that provides for automation and communications upgrades for Fleet tactical users. 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. INC 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 (HAIPE) devices. ADNS INC III serves as the Navy tactical interface for IP Networking with Joint Tactical Radio System, and Advanced Extremely High Frequency to include Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES). Starting in FY2015, ADNS will serve as the Navy tactical interface for IP Networking for the JALN-M system. ADNS will investigate emerging technologies to integrate with additional Department of Defense C4I Programs to improve interstrike group networking and extend the network to the tactical edge. FY15 funds will be used for continued interface design development and integration with network application, development of Line-of-sight (LOS) Link, Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) integration, and development of Cipher-Text (CT) Piers. Also in FY2015, study efforts will begin with the intention of integrating ADNS into the JALN-M system. JALN-M is the Navy implementation that provides network connectivity in areas that have limited or denied Satellite Communications (SATCOM). ADNS study efforts will include addressing network management, intra and inter domain routing, Quality of Service (QoS), and Concept of Operations discussions.
