Shore To Ship Com System
Abstract
The Shore to Ship Communications System develops communication elements which provide Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) between the President of the United States (POTUS) and Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN). 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 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 of the Very Low Frequency (VLF) architecture by providing system life extension and flexibility of submarine broadcast reception to submarines operating in a stealth posture. The flexibility includes enhanced throughput and anti-jam capability, ensuring more operational traffic is delivered to submarines without risking mast exposure. LBUCS will also deliver a simplified shore architecture, maintaining capability while maximizing use of shore infrastructure. Finally, LBUCS 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 by evaluating and reporting results of strategic exercises to the Fleet. Expanded CEP to include NOVA NIXT automated data collection. 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). These components provide Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) and are beyond their operational life expectancy. The Broadcast Control Authority (BCA) project researches and models future solutions to address network/system interoperability, provides enterprise lab facilities and cybersecurity challenges of the four regional Submarine Operating Authority (SUBOPAUTH) BCA communication and network operations centers. Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Nova Technical Change (NC3 NTC) is the Shore to Ship Communication System that develops communication elements which support the Navy's NC3 requirements, providing various communications infrastructure and elements from the regional Submarine Operating Authority (SUBOPAUTH) to the deployed strategic platform (fleet ballistic missile submarines). This portfolio of programs designs and develops shore-to-ship transmit and receive communications systems (i.e., Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS) and SUBOPAUTH Command, Control, and Communications (C3) Systems) in support of communications with all submarine types (i.e., SSN, SSGN, and SSBN).
