  1. Topic 13 Collaboration Tools Enabling Objectives 13.1 DISCUSS Collaboration at Sea (CAS) concepts and technologies. 13.2 DISCUSS CENTRIXS architectures and enclaves. 13.3 EXPLAIN the purpose of Defense Connect Online (DCO), including the three major components and the Help Desk resources.

  2. CAS Overview • Standard Knowledge and Information Sharing Platform • Navy-wide Architecture • Navy-wide Web Applications • Centralized Design • Centralized Administration • Coalition Replication

  3. NOCServers ShipServer ShipServer ShipServer ShipServer Ship Users CV Server Shore-basedUsers CV Users CAS Replication • SIPRNET and NIPRNET • NOCs replicate together • Decreased bandwidth needs • Dispersed responsibility • Collaboration servers at each NOC and all CVNs • Connectivity failure = Data accessibility

  4. CAS Web Applications • Baseline Site (Distributed Input) • Content Providers Add, Edit, & Delete via Web into Shared Libraries • Knowledge Web (KWEB) • Organized links to CAS Content used as a briefing tool • Stoplight Charts • Graphical Status Capability • CommandNet • Event Logging tool • Sametime • Chat Client and Meeting Center (Whiteboard and Application Sharing)

  5. CAS II Features • Enhanced Site Customization • Selective Replication • No Distribution • Limited Distribution • Distribute to all (optional) • One-Click Access • Post to Libraries, Browse Libraries, Recent posts List • Enhanced integration with KWEB • Enhanced integration with Stoplight • Max Size Limitation for documents

  6. Collaboration at Sea CAS III roll-out scheduled for FY08 with newly developed CAS III user’s guide (NNWC) PRNOC CAS server refresh planned for FY08 CAS transition to POR scheduled for FY09 Voice and Video IP Circuits VoIP requires ~26Kbps of dedicated BW VTCoIP utilizes between 64-768Kbps High latency and jitter experience with BW constrained users Expect transition to occur in parallel with increased BW availability and ADNS Incremental upgrades CAS Transition to POR in FY09

  7. Strike Group Hub • Links to all CAS sites • Link to Fleet Web Support (FWS) • Link to Sametime web • Link to User Registration

  8. HTML File Attachment Text URL Library Input - Formats

  9. Sametime Center • Meeting Center • Discussion Capabilities • Sametime User Documentation

  10. Sametime Meeting Center • Schedule Meetings • Can Restrict User Access • Whiteboard • Application Sharing • Participant List

  11. Sametime Connect Client

  12. User Registration • Sametime Only Access • Web Application Content Provider Access • Web Application Administrator Access • CSG/ESG/FLT CDR POC Access

  13. Fleet Web Support • CAS Documentation • Instructions and Help • FIRST Source for HELP • Items viewable by All

  14. FWS - Requests • Requests Posted by CSG/ESG/FLT POCs Only • POCs Prioritize Command Group Requests • POCs are the definitive Source for Requests

  15. CENTRIXS History • Feb 02, FLTCOMs emergent requirements satisfied with COWAN capability. • Due to funding constraints for POR NIDTS/COWAN, NIDTS/COWAN Lite systems were fielded. • Force Level ships NIDTS Lite • Unit Level ships COWAN Lite • Sep 02, CLF/CPF directed name change from CoWAN/NIDTS Lite to CENTRIXS Blk 0 & 1. Configuration was designed and fielded to support IP connectivity and services for three non-simultaneous, coalition security levels. • CENTRIXS Blk 0 & 1 fielding is in process for deployed ships in PAC & LANT fleets.

  16. CENTRIXS Direction • ASD(NII)/DoD CIO Instruction 8110.1, dated February 6, 2004, directed that each DoD Component shall “plan, program, budget, and execute funding to support the [Multinational Information Sharing] MNIS Program and MNIS CENTRIXS networks used by their organization, forces, or the Combatant Commands.”

  17. Coalition Warfighting • GWOT • Largest Coalition Ever Assembled • 64 Countries represented • at MacDill AFB • [Desert Storm: 36 Nations] “The solidarity and collective will of the Coalition is our strength against the enemy that preys on weakness” General John Abizaid, Commander United States Central Command

  18. CENTRIXSProgram Description CENTRIXS-M provides secure tactical and operational information sharing between U.S. and coalition maritime partners CENTRIXS-M is a key enabler for Command and Control and warfighting readiness in C7F AOR CENTRIXS-M forms the network backbone and global infrastructure for Coalition and Multinational C4I interoperability C4I Interoperability throughout the Coalition and Joint Enterprise Remains Paramount Coalition and Multinational Interoperability is Fleet #1 C4I Priority

  19. Enclave and COI Description

  20. CENTRIXS Variants

  21. CENTRIXS-M Block 0 Single Enclave Access Fielded on 129 Ships Client Expansion +4 Clients CENTRIXS-M Block 0 Components

  22. CENTRIXS-M Block 1 Single Enclave Access Fielded on 20 Large Deck Ships Client Expansion +10 Clients CENTRIXS-M Block 1 Components

  23. Block II and Inc 1 Architecture Serial Ethernet INE INE RTR RTR SWT SWT SVR SVR INE INE RTR RTR SWT SWT SVR SVR Stateless Thin Clients (30) • Multi-Level Thin Client Design • Reduce space, weight, and power (SWAP) MUX KG ADNS • All terminal served to ultra-thin client terminals, Smart card access ISNS SIPRnet • 4 coalition enclaves • + SIPRNET APPS NIC NIC NIC NIC NIC Trusted Session Server NIC • Leverages existing ISNS drops • 30 drops; scaleable to 100 drops Coalition VLAN ISNS SIPRnet

  24. Block II & Inc 1(MLTC)Force Level Rack Multi-level Thin Client architecture Simultaneous access of 4 coalition enclaves, and SIPRNET from a single thin client workstation 30 clients fielded scaleable to 100 Reaccreditation planned with Solaris 10 TX/CONET 2.0 in FY09 Unit Level (MLTC) single rack, 3 coalition enclaves, 15 clients Planned installations: HST, LIN, GW, RR, JCS, ESX Total Objective Inventory: 113 ships including (2) TTE’s Six Block II (MLTC) Installations in FY07
