Abstract
The Joint Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Military Satellite Communications (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 Assigned Single Access (DASA) channels to maximize existing highly sought after SATCOM resources used to support operational missions as well as joint training and tactical exercises. The system provides decentralized web-based management of those resources for use as a situational awareness tool for Combatant Commanders and SATCOM Support Centers. The JMINI CS is required to operate beyond the original End of Life (EoL) of 2015 in order to continue to support mission critical operations through at least 2033. The JMINI CS 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 address the increasing risk of an unrecoverable hardware or software failure, which would result in a loss of service for the fleet. The effort will involve evaluation, prototype development, laboratory and integration testing of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) hardware and software to replace obsolete components or subsystems while maintaining interoperability with existing systems. (U) 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 United States Navy ships, shore headquarters, and other joint platforms. It will provide means to disseminate organically derived data from Navy platforms to other tactical, operational, and strategic users in theater. MIBS provides 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 (ASW), Undersea Warfare (USW), Electronic Warfare (EW). The program encompasses Navy IBS systems (Joint Tactical Terminal - Maritime (JTT-M)). These systems will provide the Navy and other joint platforms with a coherent approach to fielding maritime IBS systems that takes advantage of all available pathways and services.
