CANES Integration
Abstract
Consolidated Afloat Networks & Enterprise Services (CANES) is the Navy's only Program of Record (POR) to replace existing afloat networks and provide the necessary infrastructure for applications, systems, and services required for NAVY to dominate the Cyber Warfare domain. CANES is the technical and infrastructure consolidation of existing, separately managed afloat networks currently under PE 0204163N (LI 3050) Ship Communications Automation, including Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System - Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Networks, and Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN). These legacy afloat network designs are currently End of Life and CANES will replace these existing, unaffordable, and obsolete networks. The fundamental goal of CANES is to bring Infrastructure and Platform as a Service (IaaS / PaaS), within which current and future iterations of Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (TCPED) computing and storage capabilities will reside. CANES will provide complete infrastructure, inclusive of hardware, software, processing, storage and end user devices for Unclassified, Coalition, Secret and SCI for all basic network services (email, web, chat, collaboration) to a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines, Maritime Operations Centers, and Aircraft. In addition, approximately 36 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. Integrating these applications and systems is accomplished through Application Integration (AI), the engineering process used to evaluate and validate compatibility between CANES and the Navy-validated applications, systems and services that will utilize the CANES infrastructure and services. 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), are dependent on the CANES Common Computing Environment (CCE) to field, host, and sustain their capability because they no longer provide their own hardware. CANES requires that Automated Digital Network System (ADNS)field prior to or concurrently with CANES due to architectural reliance between the two programs. CANES will develop updates on a rolling four year hardware baseline and a two year software baseline. CANES is based on the overarching concept of reducing the number of afloat network baselines 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. Platform sets 1, 2, 3, 4 define phases of CANES system development efforts. Each platform set consists of a different ship class design baseline.
