Shore To Ship Com System
Abstract
Th Shore To Ship Communication System develops communication elements which provide Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) from originator to execution platforms. This portfolio of programs provides design and development for shore-to-ship transmit and receive communications systems. The Low Band Universal Communications System (LBUCS) is a modernization program that will upgrade the transmit and receive subsystems of the Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS) which are approaching their operational end of life. LBUCS will ensure operational capability through the Very Low Frequency (VLF) architecture by providing system life extension and flexibility of submarine broadcast traffic to submarines operating in a stealth posture. The flexibility includes enhanced throughput and anti-jam capability, ensuring more operational products are delivered to a submarine without risking mast exposure. The flexibility further includes a simplified shore architecture to maintain capability while maximizing use of shore nodes (Broadcast Keying Sites). LBUCS also provides an upgrade to the VLF receive system, with all interoperable waveforms, to ensure continued compliance with Nuclear Command and Control System (C2) Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC). The Strategic Communications Assessment Program/Continued Evaluation Program provides constant assessment of the effectiveness of the end-to-end NC2 network and analysis of system performance in various mission locations. Concept Development/System Planning provides Network Enabled Operation (NEO) that addresses Allied interoperability issues for submarine communications in an internet protocol environment. As new technologies are realized, coalition architectures are developed and tested to ensure continued interoperability. The United States/United Kingdom VLF Project Agreement provides mutual improvements to VLF transmission and reception capabilities for submarine operations by evolving and demonstrating modern technologies and advanced waveform techniques. Concept Development/System Planning also provides for the modeling of unique Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) submarine communications capabilities which include large physical shore broadcast antennas, underwater depth penetration studies and interoperable VLF waveform analysis. Technologies to improve high voltage insulators, helix house bushings and antenna components used in the fixed VLF transmit systems are evaluated and tested through the High Voltage Improvement Program. Development of information assurance solutions for the Broadcast Control Authority (BCA) and Submarine Operating Authority wide area network are part of this program to mitigate vulnerability concerns.
