Abstract

The Joint (UHF) MILSATCOM Network Integrated Control System (JMINI CS) is a legacy system that commenced in 1998. JMINI CS is a Navy-led, Joint-interest program providing integrated, dynamic, and centralized control of non-processed UHF MILSATCOM 5/25 kHz Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) and Demand Assign Single Access (DASA) channels to maximize existing highly sought after SATCOM resources. The system also provides decentralized web-based management of those resources for use as a situational awareness tool for Combatant Commanders, Global SATCOM Support Centers, and Regional SATCOM Support Centers. The system is expected to operate well beyond the original 2015 End of Life (EoL) date to 2025. The JMINI Program of Record (POR) will perform concept development and exploration to identify cost-effective solutions to address multiple life cycle support issues, in order to minimize loss of service to the fleet. The effort will involve evaluation, development, laboratory and integration testing of COTS and GOTS hardware and software to replace obsolete components or subsystems for effectiveness with existing systems. The Sensitive Compartmented Information Networks (SCI Networks), is an evolutionary acquisition program designed to provide enabling technology necessary to provide 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 be used to 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 greatly 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). The 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 started migrating to the Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS) Increment 2/Consolidated Afloat Networks Enterprise Services (CANES) in FY09. ISNS Inc 2/CANES will serve to transition numerous Fleet networks to a single, adaptive, available, and secure computing network infrastructure while delivering enhanced 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 RDT&E development transition began in FY10. Maritime Integrated Broadcast Service (MIBS) Project Charter is to deliver Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) data to operational and tactical decision makers aboard United States (US) Navy surface ships and ashore headquarters. It disseminates organically derived data from Navy platforms and shore sites to other theater tactical, operational, and strategic users. MIBS will give the Navy a capability to recieve and transmit near real time IBS 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). In order to address IBS terminal inventory shortfalls on AEGIS platforms in the Navy, a software IBS capability Network Enabled IBS (NEIBS) developed by Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) will be implemented as a back-fill capability for carriers and large deck amphibious ships that would lose Joint Tactical Terminals (JTT) IBS terminal assets to AEGIS platforms. It was determined that carriers and large deck amphibious ships require over-the-air IBS capability, effectively cancelling NEIBS. FY12 funding will be used to perform Navy integration testing of the AN/USC-62, JTT-Senior upgrade kit, which will enhance existing terminal capability to support the Common Integrated Broadcast (CIB) waverform, Common Message Format (CMF), and the National Security Agency (NSA) mandated Crypto Modernization Intitiative (CMI). 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. FY12 will be utilized for continued Maritime Integrated Broadcast Service (MIBS) and concept development exploration for JMINI.
