Abstract
The Joint Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Network Integrated (JMINI) Control System provides replacement of all non-Chairman Joint Chiefs Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 6251.01 UHF MILSATCOM legacy equipment at Naval Computer & Telecommunications Area Master Station (NCTAMS) Atlantic (LANT), NCTAMS Pacific (PAC), Naval Computer & Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Naples and NCTS Guam. It replaces non-supportable aging WSC-5 terminals and provides centralized control of full UHF Follow-On (UFO) satellite constellation. It expands channel control capacity with Digital Modular Radio (DMR) at NCTAMS/NCTS. Each site will control up to 152 non-processed UHF MILSATCOM channels in adjacent satellite coverage areas using both physical and virtual channel control techniques. It remains backward compatible with all versions of all Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) waveforms; supports future waveform modifications and additions. It implements decentralized management of UHF SATCOM communications assets. Automated planning and management of UHF MILSATCOM resources with the Network Management System (NMS). It maintains planning reference data including terminals, networks, and configuration codes. It defines and ranks communications service requirements. CJCSI 6251.01 Rev B states MILSTD-188-181C/182B/183B (Integrated Waveform or IW) as optional waveforms for terminals. Sensitive Compartmented Information Networks (SCI Networks) will provide enabling technology necessary for Intelligence, Cryptologic, and Information Warfare Systems with protected and reliable delivery of Special Intelligence (SI)/SCI data through a secure, controllable network interface with the Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) architecture. Specifically, SCI Networks shall ensure the availability of networks in defiance of hostile Information Warfare (IW). Technical, physical, and procedural security will control access, protect Department of Navy (DoN) information technology resources, and ensure continuous operation of the system within an accredited security posture. This network connectivity will expand the capability of cryptologic and intelligence personnel to fully interact with shore based nodes to provide expanding support to their commanders, including situational awareness, indications and warning (I&W), enemy force intentions, intelligence preparation for the Battlefield, and Battle Damage Assessment (BDA). SCI Networks will provide real time indications and warning support to joint and component commanders through reliable high-speed transfer of sensor data and intelligence information. Enhanced interoperability with other services, agencies, and allies will permit a level of integration of Sensitive Information (SI) operations not achievable with current systems. The SCI Networks program began migrating to the Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS) Increment 2/Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES) in FY09. ISNS Inc 2/CANES will transition Fleet networks to a single, adaptive, available, and secure computing network infrastructure while delivering technologies in: Integrated Voice, Video, and Data; Common Computing Environment (CCE); Afloat Core Services (ACS) and Multi-Level Security (MLS)/Cross Domain Solutions (CDS). CANES Increment 1 transition begins in FY 2010. Maritime Integrated Broadcast Service (MIBS) (formerly Tactical Data Information Exchange Subsystem Broadcast (TADIXS-B)): Program Charter is to deliver Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) data to operational and tactical decision makers aboard US Navy ships, submarines, aircraft, and other joint platforms. It will provide means to disseminate organically derived data from Navy platforms to other theater tactical, operational, and strategic users. MIBS will give the Navy a capability to deliver near real time data, enhancing the Common Operational Picture (COP), to support operations in all warfare areas, including; Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), Undersea Warfare (USW), Electronic Warfare (EW). The program encompass all Maritime (Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force) IBS systems (Joint Tactical Terminal - Maritime (JTT-M) and Radiant Ether (RE)). The systems will provides the Navy, Coast Guard other joint platforms with a coherent approach to fielding maritime IBS systems to take advantage of all available pathways and services, minimizes the waste of resources by doing away with duplication of development and fielding of different IBS systems. Radiant Ether (RE) is an IBS network solution that provides IBS data to users via SIPRNET, while minimizing utilized bandwidth. RE is a concept for net-centric software-based processing of Integrated Broadcast Service-Simplex (IBS-S) and Integrated Broadcast Service-Interactive (IBS-I) data. The software will transmit and receive all IBS data through the shipboard network. It is envisioned to reside on the ship's GENSER SECRET LAN, providing IBS data to required Tactical Data Processors (TDPs) via Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or specific cable interfaces with possible transmit capabilities. FY 2010 funding continues to support RE application/architecture integration for Navy IP IBS capabilities. Efforts include completing developmental testing (DT), beginning operational testing (OT) incorporation of changes in architecture, technical documentation, & training curriculum resulting from DT, and obtain network certification. FY 2011 funding continues to support RE application/architecture integration for Navy IP IBS capabilities. Efforts include conducting operational testing (OT), Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) interoperability certification and finalizing of all technical documentation. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6): Manage and resource / coordinate resourcing of experiments and pilot testing of IPv6 technologies to reduce acquisition and operational risk associated with the IPv6 Transition. Experiments identified are in direct support of and identified in the Navy Technical Transition Strategy for IPv6. FY 2011 will be utilized for continued SCI Networks 148G (V)2 and COMPOSE 4.0 Lab Development Test, MIBS, and IPv6 Transition development.
