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. This project supports the acquisition activities for the PNVC baseband equipment, including 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.
