CANES Integration

Abstract

The CANES program recapitalizes the Navy's afloat network infrastructure (see note below) by consolidation of diverse physical networks and implementation of Afloat Core Services (ACS) and Cross Domain Solutions (CDS). CANES will provide all security domains from Unclassified through Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Common Computing Environment (CCE) for a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines, Maritime Operations Centers, and Aircraft. CANES will enable more efficient data visibility and flow between operational nodes on the Global Information Grid using an open architecture. Additionally, virtualization on the CCE enhances the department's ability to reduce the multitude of standalone command and control systems and applications eliminating the need to field additional or unique hardware (servers and workstations). Through CCE, CDS and virtualization, CANES will improve the Navy's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) security and agility while reducing total ownership costs. Note existing afloat networks include: Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System - Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), SCI Networks, and Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN). In addition, CANES will provide functionality currently provided in the Video Information Exchange System (VIXS) and portions of afloat Computer Network Defense (CND). 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.
