Combat Ident System
Abstract
In 1995, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology)/Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (USD(A7T)/VCJCS) tasked the Services to develop a high-level plan and long-range strategy for migrating to new Mark XII equipment. The services were also tasked to work with participating North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allies to develop a new Mark XII waveform and document it in NATO Standard Agreement (STANAG). The Navy took the lead in a waveform development effort conducted in coordination with a five nation Technical Working Group (TWG), supported by Joint Services and Industry. The Navy, in conjunction with the TWG, designed, developed, modeled, and tested a new waveform - Mark XIIA Mode 5. A separate five nation Communications Security group, led by the National Security Administration, developed a new cryptographic algorithm and associated cryptographic equipment interoperability requirements specification, STANAG 4193, Part V has been ratified and promulgated to all NATO nations, and Part VI was approved for promulgation in January 2002. In August 2003 the Navy Mark XIIA Mode 5 program was approved for entry in Systems Development and Demonstration phase with approval to develop prototypes. In July 2006, the Navy Mark XIIA Mode 5 program was approved for entry into the Production and Deployment Phase and Low Rate Initial Production. In March 2007, Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (047-07) endorsed a Mode 5 Joint Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY14 and Joint Full Operational Capability in 2020. RDT&E articles include Mode 5 cryptographic modules and associated hardware and software changes, AN/APX-123, AN/APX-119, and AN/APX-111. These RDT&E units are to support hardware, software, and integration efforts to host systems on remaining aircraft Type/Model/Series, including AH-1Z/UH-1Y, E-2D, MH-60R/S, MV-22, KC-130J, and F/A-18E/F and EA-18G.
