Shore To Ship Com System

Abstract

The 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 developments for shore-to-ship transmit and receive communications systems. The Low Band Universal Communications System (LBUCS) is a modernization program that will upgrade the low-power 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. LBUCS also provides an upgrade to the VLF receive system, with all interoperable waveforms, to ensure continued compliance with Nuclear Command and Control System Technical Performance Criteria (NTPC). The Strategic Communications Assessment Program/Continued Evaluation Program (SCAP/CEP) provides continuous assessment of the effectiveness of the Navy NC3 network and analysis of system performance in various mission locations. The High Voltage Improvement Program (HVIP) develops technologies to improve the high voltage insulators, bushings, antenna and transmitter components used in the high-power Low Frequency/Very Low Frequency (LF/VLF) transmit systems of the Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS). The Broadcast Control Authority (BCA) develops information assurance solutions for the BCA and Submarine Operating Authority (SUBOPAUTH) wide area network are part of this program to mitigate vulnerability concerns.
