Coalition Operations with the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS)

Abstract

This paper discusses the continued development and operation of coalition networks in support of U.S. Pacific Command's initiative to provide classified, permanent network service for bilateral and multilateral communities of interest for combined and coalition operations. The Combined Operations Wide Area Networks (COWAN) project, headed by SSC San Diego personnel, continued to grow and has recently been consolidated with the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS) program, originally designed to support U.S. Central Command requirements. The consolidation of these efforts has created a dynamic team of personnel working to meet the increasing need for secure global connectivity. Challenges continue to confront the team, primarily in getting approved and accredited technical solutions for connecting multiple classified domains to facilitate the Global War on Terrorism.
