Assured Worldwide Connectivity
Abstract
The Air Force requires advanced net-enabled architectures and communications technologies in support of global kinetic and non-kinetic military operations including a secure information grid for worldwide information delivery and exchange of near-real-time information including voice, data, video, and imagery. 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. This project provides secure information transmission capabilities for a persistent, global, survivable communications backbone network accessible for warfighters operating in all domains; it provides self-healing, self-configuration, anti-jam communication networking capabilities; and it provides enterprise networking capabilities for agile, policy-based network management. In addition, this project develops and demonstrates advanced optical networking and communications for Air Force air- and space-based information exchange on and between platforms including development of highly integrated multi-gigabit optical and radio frequency networks, all optical data routers, optical backbone interface circuits for on board information exchange, and integrated electronic, adaptive optic systems for atmospheric mitigation. The Air Force also requires the ability to deliver sovereign options in cyberspace through the development and integration of cyber attack, cyber defense, and cyber support technologies for a strategic capability of cyber dominance. This project develops the ability to deliver: 1) cyber attack capabilities: access, stealth and persistence, cyber intelligence, and weapons delivery, 2) cyber defense capabilities: attack detection, attack attribution, and response automation, and 3) cyber support capability: situational awareness and war gaming.
