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, 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. PNVC is STRATCOM's highest priority for the NC2 mission and lack of sufficient funding will significantly delay DISA's delivery of the baseband equipment leaving the enhanced, survivable voice conferencing capability for the national decision makers at risk. Distributed Tactical Communications System (DTCS) is a tactical and scalable over-the-horizon, on-the-move, and beyond line of sight voice communications system for the small unit disadvantaged user. •Phase 1 supports CENTCOM Joint Urgent Operational Needs CC-0278 by fielding 500 radios with basic functionality for 100 mile communications in an austere environment. This provided basic functionality with the initial development and fielding of the Radio Only handset. •Phase 2 supports basic CENTCOM Joint Urgent Operational Needs CC-0368 requirements by fielding more than 5,000 handsets to the CENTCOM Area of Operation. Improvements to DTCS are increased in range from 100 miles to 250 miles, improved network capacity from 250 to 16,000, user operated management tool, color screen command and control handset with NSA approved encryption, and tactical vehicle integration. •Phase 3 supports on improving CENTCOM Joint Urgent Operational Needs CC-0368 requirements. Improvements to DTCS are improved architecture that enables self management and monitoring, alternate supplier development, interoperability interfaces, and internet protocol infrastructure.
