Communication Automation

Abstract

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 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 megabytes 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, airborne platforms, and Aegis Ashore sites into 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 not only the JALN-M system but also the key Assured Command and Control (C2) capabilities. ADNS will investigate emerging technologies to integrate with additional Department of Defense C4I Programs to improve inter-strike group networking and extend the network to the tactical edge. FY20 ADNS RDT&E investment will continue to support Interface Design Development (IDD) and integration with network applications, development of Line-Of-Sight (LOS) link, DISN integration, and development of CT piers. ADNS development will include addressing network management, intra and inter domain routing, Quality of Service (QoS), and Concept of Operations discussions. Will continue Network-Based Cyber Security technology and virtualization to increase performance of the Navy's ADNS routing and transport architecture.
