Shore To Ship Com System
Abstract
Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Navy Modernized Hybrid Solution (NMHS) formerly Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Nova Technical Change (NC3 NTC) is the shore terrestrial backbone that provides Joint assured NC3 messaging in a highly redundant and interconnected architecture for receipt, validation, storage, and forwarding of NC3 EAMs to Joint nuclear force elements. NC3 NMHS provides the Joint interface in the Navy Shore to Ship Communication System. 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). LBUCS Receive V2 extends the Very Low Frequency (VLF) receive capability to FY45 and incorporates the Unified Minimum Essential Emergency Communications (MEECN) Mode (UMM) waveforms. 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 will include data from Nova hubs and Nova Information eXchange Terminals (NIXT) using automated data collection. The Navy Nuclear Command Control and Communications (NC3-N) Cyber Assessment Program (NCAP) expands cybersecurity assessments of the Navy's NC3 architecture. The High Voltage Improvement Program (HVIP) develops technologies to improve the high voltage insulators, bushings, antenna and transmitter components used in the high-power Very Low Frequency/Low Frequency (VLF/LF) 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. The Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) primary mission is to receive and retransmit Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) to US Strategic Forces. The TACAMO Ground Communications Program will acquire and sustain necessary mobile communications to support the TACAMO mission. Without this capability, there will be an increase in potential for loss of Nuclear Command, Control, and Communication (NC3) EAM delivery to the strategic forces. These mobile communications are necessary deterrence multipliers that increase the probability of strategic success. The Mobile Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Terminal (MAT) will be employed with TACAMO teams and Submarine Groups in support of TACAMO and NC3 missions.
