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 network to Satellite Communications (SATCOM), load balancing, radio frequency restoral, Quality of Service (QoS) to include application prioritization, traffic management, compression and enhancements designed to maximize use of "effective" available bandwidth for surface, shore, and airborne platforms. ADNS INC III combines all Navy Tactical Voice, Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) Inter-Working Function, Video, and data requirements into a converged IP data stream. ADNS INC III supports higher bandwidth satellites, providing 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 Cipher-Text (CT) security architecture to align to the Global Information Grid (GIG) in order to mesh Navy Tactical surface, subsurface, and airborne platforms into a single IP environments with gateway functions to coalition and joint networks, in addition to greater security utilizing the High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) devices. 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. In FY 2017, CANES RDT&E investment will support additional development for Technical Insertion 2 (TI2) hardware and software baselines including Enterprise Engineering and Certification (E2C) laboratory test efforts. Perform systems engineering efforts to complete functional baselines and updates to technical data packages. Continue Development Testing (DT) in support of submarine baseline development.Additional funds provided in FY 2017 to design and engineer the CANES Tactical Data Cloud capability to be included in future CANES hardware and software baselines.
