Battlespace Information Exchange
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced communications technologies for the Air Force that implement a secure environment for worldwide information exchange of near-real-time multimedia (i.e., voice, data, video, and imagery) information. This secure environment will be rapidly deployable, mobile, interoperable, and seamless between Air and Space Operations Centers (AOC) and aircraft, either en route or in theater. It will: a) provide interoperability across echelons, services, coalition, and multi-national force boundaries; b) support mobile information superiority, sensor-to-shooter operations, and the battle management decision process; and c) provide in-transit visibility of en route aircraft, cargo, mission status, and reachback capabilities for aircraft to operations centers in the continental United States (e.g., updating information and mission changes to en route aircraft). Technology developments include an information assurance decision support system, advanced information management, multi-level/secure communications, secure survivable networks, mission and content-based routing, quality-of-service mechanisms, communications transmission systems, cyber situational awareness, and offensive cyber operations capabilities to attack and exploit adversary information and information systems.
