ATDLS Integration
Abstract
FY 2020 funding request was reduced by $5.0 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. This project develops and improves the Navy's Tactical Data Link (TDL) systems. It includes the Advanced Tactical Data Link Systems (ATDLS) Integration Programs, specifically Link 16 Network, Command and Control Processor (C2P) and Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT). ATDLS Integration Program develops new and improved capabilities for Navy TDL users. The ATDLS Integration Programs perform technical analyses and engineering efforts associated with implementation of new technology to enable rapid introduction of new products and technology, prevent obsolescence, and end of support issues. The programs insert new technology enhancements via incremental software & hardware upgrades and deliver as annual build release. The Navy Link 16 Network Increment II consists of Dynamic Network Management (DNM), Cryptographic Modernization (CM) and Frequency Remapping (FR). C2P Technology Refresh (TR) and C2P Interoperability will modernize legacy C2P processing components to address C2P component obsolescence and fleet interoperability issues. C2P is a critical component in the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) architecture. C2P Modernization is a service life extension program required to sustain C2P support of Naval Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and BMD capabilities. Link 22 development and integration into the C2P allows for standard data link communication with Coalition forces. LMMT will upgrade commercial off-the-shelf hardware and modernize software operating systems. LMMT will improve TDL performance monitoring and management in support of the Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) missions. Link 16 Network Increment II: (1) Develop and implement CM and FR mandates as a product improvement into Link 16 terminals and integration into shore sites, ship (NGC2P, Next Generation Command and Control Processor), and current Navy Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) airborne platforms; (2) Developmental Testing (DT) / Operational Testing (OT) of Navy platform CM/FR modifications; (3) provide product improvement for continued production capability Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) on Ship (MOS) Modernization (MOS Mod) and extensibility to new Tactical Data Link capabilities of shipboard Link 16 terminals, (4) qualification of replacement shipboard Link 16 antenna to replace end of life existing antenna. JTIDS, MOS CM/FR, and MOS Mod efforts are in support of NSA and Joint Chiefs of Staff mandates for the modernization of the cryptographic algorithm used in Link 16 terminals and the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation Memorandum of Agreement for the implementation of a capability to remap any 14 of the existing 51 frequencies in order to remain operable within the United States and its possessions. All Link 16 terminals are required to have this capability to support Link 16 Interoperability. FY2020 Justification: Complete JTIDS CM/FR shipboard integrated testing and data reduction including operational test. Continue preparations and conduct JTIDS CM/FR Fielding Decision Review (FDR). Complete MOS CM/FR integrated testing and data reduction including operational test. Continue preparations and conduct MOS CM/FR Fielding Decision Review (FDR). Complete government testing and data reduction including for operational testing of MOS Mod. Continue preparations and conduct MOS Mod FDR fielding decision review. Develop C2P software update to implement CMN capability. Initiate government integration and testing of CMN capability with MOS Mod and C2P. Continue Link 16 Network integration logistics support. Command and Control Processor (C2P) Technology Refresh (TR) funds a product improvement effort to the legacy C2P hardware components and allows legacy C2P software to execute on modern processors, thereby extending its effective service life. Product improvement efforts will include C2P software development, hardware integration, update of the C2P development environment to promote sustainability and testing to include follow-on test and evaluation (FOT&E) of the C2P TR baseline. Software development contractors will transform C2P legacy software code with modern supportable software code. "C2P, Phase 3", Increment 2 is planned to include Link 22, which is a modernized replacement for Link 11, providing beyond line of sight (BloS) tactical data communication system utilizing fixed frequency or frequency hopping techniques in the high frequency (HF) (3-30 Megahertz (MHz)) and/or the ultra high frequency (UHF) (225-400 MHz) bands. C2P Modernization is required to address Cybersecurity challenges, Operational Availability (Ao) challenges and sustainment issues associated with the current C2P system configurations. C2P Modernization funds the transition of the C2P's legacy CMS-2Y software code (old Navy unique computer programming language from the 1980s) to a modern software language. Transition to a modern software language is required to sustain the system software and to address growing cybersecurity and Ao challenges and to enable more affordable transition to new hardware processing components as a result of commercial off the shelf processor obsolescence. FY2020 Justification (C2P): Continue C2P Link 22 Aegis combat system testing, conduct developmental testing and prepare for Link 22 Follow-on Test and Evaluation (FOT&E). Continue C2P Modernization engineering assessment and design. Conduct C2P Modernization design reviews in preparation for C2P Modernization development. Link Monitoring and Management Tool (LMMT) is a system delivered on commercial off-the-shelf hardware providing gateway functions for multiple Tactical Data Link (TDL) interface, routing and display of TDL data to include Link 16 and Joint Range Extension (JRE). LMMT is also capable of performing TDL network planning, monitoring, management, data forwarding between the TDLs and providing tactical data to the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) for establishing the common operational picture. LMMT requirements will be incrementally developed and delivered in capability drops via the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) IT Box approach. FY 2020 Justification (LMMT): Conduct Capability Drop (CD) 3 Build Decision and commence CD 3 development.
