C2BMC Communications
Abstract
The BCN ties together an expanding set of sensors and weapons systems to enable the National Command Authority and the commanders at the strategic, theater, and tactical levels to optimally engage missile threats. Recurring accomplishments include the following: - Provide GMD Communications Network (GCN) Long Haul Communications Transport services and a robust, end-to-end, high availability, operational communications network infrastructure with diverse paths that quickly and unambiguously share information across the global Missile Defense System - Provide Missile Defense System communications via leased Defense Information Service Agency (DISA) circuits, and resolve real-time operational issues through DISA's Network Operations and Security Center - Provide effective network management to coordinate and integrate information across diverse equipment platforms, interface with other Department of Defense (DoD) communications systems, evolve information standards and capabilities, and adhere to the DoD Risk Management Framework - Complete the architecture design to establish BCN connectivity for Reagan Test Site and improve communications by adding a diverse, faster network around the Atoll. Assets to be connected include the Advanced Research Projects Office Long-Range Tracking and Instrumentation Radar, Space Fence, and Ground-Based Radar at Kwajalein Atoll. - Complete C-Band upgrade of terminals on the Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX). The Ka-Band terminal upgrade is scheduled to complete in Nov 2023. - Continue upgrade and technical refresh of the PAAWNS threat based communication network against the advanced threat of nuclear capabilities, while maintaining efficiencies in cost - Upgrade BCN capability by supporting all DoD teleports to enhance satellite communications - Complete circuit testing and turnover of GCN Modernization circuits for 14 of 14 GMD sites - Continue acquiring additional network circuits to support the threat based communication network modernization - Continue PAAWNS modem testing integration and installations globally - Continue GCN refresh from legacy to Optical equipment - Deploy two Hardened Transport Terminals-MDA to Site 512 and Japan - Continue to procure Wideband Uplink (WU) via Starshield to increase communications to SBX to help with WU curve at higher latitudes Specific and/or unique accomplishments for each FY are as follows:
