Comms Switching and Control Sys

Abstract

(U) Network Planning & Management (NPM), is a portfolio of communications planning and Network Management applications for use throughout the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). NPM consists of items such as the Systems Planning Engineering and Evaluation Device (SPEED). NPM provides the Marine Forces (MARFOR) component planners with the ability to conduct high-level planning; detailed planning and engineering; monitoring; control and reconfiguration; and spectrum planning and management in support of Combatant Commander (COCOM) and Commander, Joint Task Force (CJTF) operations. SPEED provides High Frequency (HF) predictions, Line of Site (LOS) propagation, Radio Coverage Analysis (RCA), Satellite planning, Command and Control Personal Computer (C2PC) track interface, interference and de-confliction analysis, spectrum management, Radio Guard Charts, Comm-On-The-Move (COTM), and T/E (training & education) and force structure management. (U) Tactical Voice Switching System (TVSS): Formerly known as Transition Switch Module (TSM), TVSS consists of three systems that provide a flexible Unit Level Switch that replaces legacy Tri-Tac switches with current commercial technology, providing maneuver elements with improved voice/data switching, data transport and bandwidth management capabilities. This program maintains USMC joint interoperability as all Services transition to Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) switching technologies. (U) Tactical Data Network (TDN) Data Distribution System - Modular (DDS-M): The DDS-M provides the Commander a modular, integrated, and interoperable Internet Protocol (IP)- based LAN and WAN data networking capability that forms the data communications backbone and data communications support to organizations within a MAGTF. The DDS-M provides extension of the Defense Information System Network (DISN), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), and Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet), a Coalition networking capability, access to strategic, supporting establishments, joint and other service component tactical data networks for Marine Corps Tactical Data Systems (TDSs), and other DDS-Ms. The DDS-M provides Marine Corps maneuver elements with a modular and scalable IP data transport capability that will replace, supplement, and be used with existing legacy data systems through the integration of computers, routers, data switches and cabling, Enhanced Position Location and Reporting System (EPLRS) radio net interface units, MODEMS, link encryption devices, and patch panels. Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) provide for emergency power and continuity of operations. The DDS-M can operate from the SBU up to the TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (TS/SCI) level and contains integral In-line Network Encryption (INE) device supporting IP Security (IPSec) and Virtual Private Networking (VPN).
