Presidential and National Voice Conferencing

Abstract

The National Emergency Action Decision Network (NEADN) provides system engineering, development and testing of the Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) equipment for senior leaders. The PNVC system provides a military satellite-based, world-wide, and survivable, secure, and near toll-quality voice conferencing capability for the President, Secretary of Defense, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior national/military leaders. By implementing new technology capabilities (e.g. Ethernet-Framing and higher data rate), this project provides improved performance to the survivable voice conferencing capability. Specifically, the project funding supports the acquisition activities for the PNVC baseband equipment, including critical and essential engineering required to develop new vocoder and cryptographic, and audio-summing equipment. PNVC baseband development and production schedule is synchronized with the fielding of military Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite communications (SATCOM) terminals. Lack of sufficient funding will significantly impact the implementation of an enhanced, survivable voice conferencing capability to the President and other decision makers.
