DISN Systems Engineering Support

Abstract

The Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) RDT&E Funding supports the following: DISN Networking: TR (formally known as Next Generation Networking Technologies): Provides engineering technical expertise to update the global network with the latest technologies. The initiative also helps to better defend DoD communications infrastructures from near-peer adversarial capabilities. These new technologies provide protected and assured services for critical global, all theater support to the warfighter as well as other DoD and federal customers that consume services from the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN). Specific technical focus on assured, dynamic global communications networks that can operate under various adversarial threat and risk conditions. Other RDT&E investment are made in ensuring operational and network operating systems that instrument and automate the operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning functions creating a single DISN-wide view for network managers and operators. DRSN: Development and implementation of Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) architecture across the DRSN Global Network. Funding also supports Peripheral and Component Re-Design to replace obsolete Channel Encryption Unit (CEU) to continue interoperability between DRSN and secure terminal equipment (STE) operators, as well as vIPer universal secure phone operators. This equipment (not commercially available) satisfies unique military requirements for multi-level secure voice services and conferencing capabilities in support of the Defense Red Switch Network, a critical component of the National Military Command System (NMCS). Commercial equipment is not certified by the NSA to perform necessary encryption requirements of DRSN and Secure Voice Conferencing. DoD Mobility: Mobility is leading the research, development, and deployment of Enterprise Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and classified mobile technologies. The goal of this effort is to increase information sharing and use of secure mobile devices across the global DoD. The continued evolution and expansion of mobility capabilities will revolutionize the way Combatant Commands, Services, and Agencies work by enabling on-demand access to services and information anytime, anywhere.
