CANES Integration
Abstract
Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) is the Navy's Program of Record (POR) to replace and modernize existing afloat networks with the necessary hardware, software and enterprise services infrastructure to enable information warfare from and within the tactical domain. CANES provides complete infrastructure inclusive of hardware, software, processing, storage and end user devices for the Unclassified, Coalition, Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) enclaves to a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines and Maritime Operations Centers. CANES services include application hosting, data transport and storage, system management, cyber security, email, web, chat, collaboration, and voice and video services. CANES 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. It allows for streamlined acquisition, contracting, test events, sustainment, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple configuration management baselines, logistics, and training efforts into a single unified support structure. More than two hundred (200) hosted applications and systems inclusive of Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Information Operations, Logistics and Business domains require the CANES infrastructure to operate in the tactical environment. Specific programs, such as Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N), Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M), Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS), and Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS), no longer provide their own independent network hardware and now depend on CANES to field, host, and sustain their capabilities. The CANES Application Integration program provides common software governance, testing, processes, and tools to application developers, and evaluates and confirms compatibility between CANES and the hosted applications prior to fielding. CANES also provides a set of capabilities called Agile Core Services (ACS) which brings common network services to allow hosted application developers to focus on the unique capabilities they provide. CANES is funded and programmed to develop regular technical updates with an agile and robust hardware and software baseline development cycle necessary to pace rapidly evolving cyber security threats and meet emerging operational demands within the tactical domain. In order to deliver a mission effective, secure and affordable afloat network, CANES implements a Development Operations (DevOps) framework to improve its engineering processes and speed the deployment of new cyber security, application hosting and baseline updates.
