Communications Air-Borne Layer Expansion (CABLE)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the need for CABLE in FY-08. The outcome of CABLE is to demonstrate airborne networking for tactical Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multi-National (JIIM) users who lack mobile and dynamic connectivity throughout the full range of operations. CABLE will enable interoperability between air, land, and maritime domain communication systems; enable robust information sharing; and provide strategic communications reach back in an austere or over-subscribed SATCOM environment. Transition to the Service Programs of Record (POR) in FY 2011. Outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in include (1) seamless interconnection of multiple air, maritime and land network coverage areas supporting voice and data, (2) cross-band and multi-domain connectivity within and between coverage areas through IP routing, (3) the extension of command and control connectivity throughout the full range of operations, and (4) enhanced network services for voice, video and data communications over a common IP network. U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and US. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) are the sponsors. US Navy and US Air Force are lead Services.
