Mobile IP Interface to Tactical Data Links (TDL) (Navy)
Abstract
This project is to demonstrate dynamic integration of TDLs via the US Fleet's tactical Internet Protocol (IP) backbone, which is provided by the Automated Digital Network System (ADNS). The lead service is the Navy. A two year project sponsored by Office Secretary of Defense with completion date 1Q FY 2010. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated are: (1) capability for TDL platforms to automatically maintain communications with other TDL platforms when one platform migrates to a different TDL net; (2) a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based system and network design for this purpose that is compatible with ADNS; (3) increased access for IP users to COMMS with TDL users; (4) reduced communications down time as TDL platforms change nets; (5) reduced management burden for TDL nets used in tactical operations; and (6) avoiding RDT&E and Operations and Support costs of over $9.500 million.
