Coalition Network Management System

Abstract

Under the auspices of The Technical Cooperation Program, a Project Arrangement (PA) entitled Coalition Command Control and Communications Demonstration Environment (CC3DE) between the US, Australia and Canada was created and realized from 2000 to 2003. Those three nations collaborated on a Coalition Network Management System (CNMS) under the CC3DE PA. A new PA, entitled Policy Enabled Coalition Communications (PECC), will incorporate the United Kingdom and will iterate the design and concept of CNMS. As of this interim report, the PA still has not been signed due to export control language differences between nations. It is expected the PA will be signed by the end of 2006. Despite the limitation of an unsigned PA, AFRL has moved forward with in-house work on policy-based solutions for the coalition environment, to include: designing a modern service oriented architecture (SOA) for the coalition enterprise; identifying requirements for secure, cross-domain exchange of SOA protocols; begin design of reasoning resource monitors using semantic technology; and creating a NM protocol generator to test NM tool scalability.
