CWID 2008 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstrator John Davies July 2008
What is CWID? • US Led Interoperability Initiative • MOD / Industry collaborative event • Technology demonstration and field trial • Identify and deliver future military capabilities made possible by Networked Enabled Capability (NEC) • Identify capability gap solutions and innovative opportunities • De-risk Equipment Programme projects • Inform future research and development projects and initiatives De-risk Afghanistan 2011
QINETIQ: Core Network • Key Features of UK CWID 08 Integrated Network • The network had been designed to reflect the information infrastructure in Afghanistan 2011. • The initial network architecture reflected some of the known shortfalls with regard to information access and exchange. • These shortfalls were addressed during the engineering design to • enable the Information Exchange Requirements (IERs) identified by the trails to be realised. • To ensure the most accurate representation of the information infrastructure, the use of virtual servers and a common security model have been adopted. • Systems demonstrated: • Prototype FALCON • BOWMAN • HF • Link 16 • Integration of CND and Engineering Management Tools. • QinetiQ’s Deployed Network Management Service (DNMS) • Minimal Sign-on and cross-forest authentication whilst still delivering • autonomy. • Provision of Critical Services for Coalition including: • Domain Naming Service • Federated Address Book • Windows Update Service • Anti Virus Update Service
BAE Systems– FALCON • FALCON • Broadband for the battlespace • IP based network • Replaces legacy Ptarmigan system (Army) • Provided LANs in some HQ areas • LANs connected over radio link (Wide Area System) • Hosted DII(FD) on a FALCON LAN • Testing Juniper WAN Accelerators to maximise bandwidth
BAE Systems at CWID 08 – ISTAR • Tactical to Strategic Multi Intelligence Hub • Digital Data Depository (D3) - federated Intelligence Reference Library • Quick Query (Q2) - web based search interface • SOCET GXP - image analysis, geospatial analysis and photogrammetry software
Thales: Secure Enterprise Delivery (SeED) demo • Builds on data dissemination and value added services of • the Future Integrated ISTAR Management System (FIIMMS) • and JEDDI Middleware demonstrations • Integrates these capabilities in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) providing core data services including • air, land and maritime track information, • encyclopaedic • and airspace information services. • Secure Enterprise Delivery provides a suite of integrated services, adhering to open standards, for use by systems within the DII environment, including • Joint Operations Picture (JOP) • air vehicle mission planning applications. • These services are protected by a multi-level security architecture.
TENET:Geospatial Intelligence Integrated ReferenceArchitecture (GI2RA)
Summary • CWID is an important UK MOD / Industry collaborative event • About one third of exhibits (most Information Systems) based on SOAs • Unique opportunity for industry interoperability work • “let’s just try this…” • Industry trails fund themselves • MoD provide infrastructure • Drives NEC interoperability a few steps closer each year
