CANES Integration

Abstract

CANES will consolidate and reduce the number of Navy afloat networks with state-of-the-art, high-speed networks and infrastructure. CANES will provide a robust, survivable, secure, scalable Afloat Core Services (ACS) enabled Common Computing Environment (CCE) for ships, submarines, and selected shore sites in addition to providing some proportional capability for aircraft. CANES will provide this ACS enabled CCE capability across all security domains from unclassified through Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). CANES is the physical single Program of Record (POR) replacement for the existing afloat networks PORs, Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange Systems Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), SCI Networks and Submarine LAN (SubLAN). In addition, CANES will provide functionality currently provided in the Video Information Exchange System (VIXS) and portions of Computer Network Defense (CND). CANES will field on a four year hardware baseline and a two year rolling software baseline providing application. The CANES vision is based on the overarching concept of reducing the number of afloat networks and providing enhanced efficiency through a single engineering focus on integrated technical solutions. This will allow for streamlined acquisition, contracting, and test events, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple current configuration management baselines, logistics and training efforts into a unified support structure. The primary goals of the CANES program are to: 1) reduce the number of networks through the use of mature, certified, cross domain technologies; 2) reduce the infrastructure footprint and associated costs for hardware afloat; and 3) provide increased capability to meet current and projected warfighter requirements. CANES will enable application developers to begin decoupling applications and services software away from independent, unique hardware stacks and host them on a common interoperable environment. This approach will incrementally deploy and will provide a basis for overall Navy Return on Investment (ROI) over the existing strategies. FY09 funded in PE 0604231N, project 2307 and PE 0305208N, project 2174.
