Tactical Support Center-Integration

Abstract

The CV-TSC project delivers ASW and SUW combat capability to the Aircraft Carrier. CV-TSC integrates sensor data from Off-Board Aircraft, Organic Platform Sensors, Link-16 Track Data, SSDS Track Data, Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Over-the-Horizon Track Data, and Environmental and Threat Databases to assess the threat and assist the TAO and CWC to effectively employ overall CVN self-defense capabilities. CV-TSC generates real-time ASW/SUW information and recommendations, tactical planning and employment of ASW/SUW assets, ASW/SUW sensor data processing and analysis, and distribution of tactically significant data. Aircraft supported include: MH-60R/S, P-8, MQ-4C Triton, and future ASW/SUW assets. System development is accomplished through the following initiatives: 1) Maintaining interoperability with the local CVN warfare systems through current and future interfaces; 2) Continuing to support mission data exchange and tactical control with current and future ASW/SUW assets and their mission systems; 3) Improving track and sensor processing and analysis techniques as new track and sensor data becomes available; 4) Improving mission planning support for the ASW/SUW missions conducted from the CVN; 5) Improving data recording, reconstruct, and distribution to meet the decreasing timelines associated with getting tactically significant data to other end users both on and off platform; 6) Improving embedded simulation and training capabilities to enable operator proficiencies; and 7) Implementing cyber-security measures. This Project also provided development of Boundary Defense Capability (Cybersecurity) capabilities (funded from FY 2016 through FY 2018). The purpose of this effort was to define and develop enterprise Hull Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) System cybersecurity solutions that would provide: protections from cyber-attacks such as boundary defense capabilities that will protect threats entering and leaving HM&E systems, physical protections, message authentication and encryption methods; Detection solutions for system anomalies and attacks at the boundaries, on hosts, networks and backplanes; and provide for operator awareness (e.g. malware detection, file integrity verification, etc.); Reaction solutions that will enable operator and system responses to an attacks; and Recovery methods that will enable for a system to quickly get back to a good known state. Planning will also commence for the integration of cyber solutions into specific HM&E control systems (e.g. Machinery Control, Steering Control, etc.).
