Multi Domain Network Managements (MDNM) Participation in Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) at Langley Air Force Base
Abstract
This report describes the Multi Domain Network Management (MDNM) project, the MDNM development team and the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX). The MDNM project provides a network manager with the ability to view multiple domains in one Network Common Operational Picture (NCOP). Each domain interfaces with the NCOP through this boundary device. It is a controlled interface that sits between a low Network Management Station (NMS) and the NCOP. The NCOP uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to query the Management Information Base (MIB) data of the low network manager. These MIB data contain up-to-date information about the resources that they manage. The data found at the low NMS is replicated and placed into the NCOP's data base. These data contain status information of the systems managed by the low NMS. The JEFX is designed to assess Air Force operations in a simulated war-fighting environment. JEFX also helps promote Expeditionary Aerospace Force, the Air Force's new concept of operations. EAF allows a uniquely tailored force to be used in a specific operation by taking pieces of each division and deploying them individually. The MDNM team attended JEFX to demonstrate the project's capabilities in a realistic test environment.
