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): The TVSS is a modular Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) circuit switch capable system that combines voice and Voice Over Internet Protocol telecommunications, multiplexing, transmission encryption, and group modem capabilities in one system for command, control, administrative, and logistic voice communications. Facilitates secure and non-secure voice, circuit switching functions, and network routing and management functions with current fielded tactical systems of the military services. Interoperates with joint, coalition, and host nation networks, and operates in unclassified and classified environments. Decrease of $0.202M between FY17 and FY18 represents reduced requirements to support technical refreshes. (U) Combat Data Network (CDN), formerly Data Distribution System - Modular (DDS-M): The CDN 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 CDN provides extension of the Defense Information System Network (DISN), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU), Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) as well as a Coalition networking capability and access to strategic, supporting establishments, joint and other service component tactical data networks for Marine Corps Tactical Data Systems (TDSs) and other CDN. The CDN 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, radio net interface units, modems, link encryption devices, and patch panels. Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) provide for emergency power and continuity of operations. The CDN 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). Increase of $0.794M from FY17 to FY18 provides for design, testing, and procurement of prototypes and test articles in support of the reconfiguration of Battalion and below CDN systems to reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP).
