  3. Agenda • Background • NAEW&C FC IP-Communications Capability Evolution • Emerging Missions, Operational Requirements, Technology • NAEW&C IP-Communications & Network Architectures • Deployable Ground Entry Point • Stage I & II IP-Communications Racks • Concept Development & Experimentation • Summary NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  4. Background • NATO’s Operational & Technical Environment Changing • Emerging Missions Involve: • Information Intensive Defensive & Expeditionary Operations • Expanded Commander’s Reach • Constrained Timelines • NAEW&C offers Opportunities to “Extend the Mission” • Capability Integration Leverages Current & Emerging Technologies • Innovative Capabilities’ Exploitation Blends C2 & Joint ISR • Permits NAEW&C to evolve into a Joint C2ISR Platform & integrate into the wider Joint C2ISR system NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  5. NAEW IP-Communications Capability Evolution • 2008: NAEW&C FC tasks NC3A to develop operationally viable “chat” capability for ISAF • Three criteria: Operationally Fit for Purpose, No NMT system integration, No E-3 modification • 2008/2009: NC3A develops, tests Prototype Stage I IP/Chat Rack & Ground Entry Point (GEP) • HF, UHF, & Iridium Low-bandwidth Carriers • IP/Chat Connectivity using mIRC -> XMPP • Initial IP-Based C2ISR Applications - MAJIIC • 2009/10: NC3A expands IP-Communications capability • Deployable Ground Entry Point (DGEP) • Stage II IP-Comms Rack (2G Rack) • Enhanced IP-Based C2ISR Applications • NAEW Test Reference Facility (NTRF) Iridium HF UHF ACC- CAOC MCC LCC Secure WAN/LAN GEP Chat/IP data CJTF HQ NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  6. NAEW IP-Communications: Deployable Ground Entry Point (1) • Red-Rack-CIS • Secure-LAN/WAN access • Local servers (Chat / AIS / CSD) • Multi-media wireless IP comms: • Dual-channel Iridium SATCOM • HF / UHF radio • Red-Rack-Crypto • Quad-channel Sectera/Line-crypto • Secure fibre-optic media to outdoor / radio-room systems NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  7. NAEW IP-Communications: Deployable Ground Entry Point (2) • Outdoor / Radio-Room Kit NATO UNCLASSIFIED

  8. Empire Challenge 2010 (EC10)NATO System View - DGEP

  9. NAEW IP-Communications: 2G Rack • Multiple laptop/SDC Interfaces • On-board IP-routing / servers • Secure multi-bearer IP comms • dual-channel Iridium (w/ current or new antenna) • dual HF / UHF radio • growth for new bearers (e.g., UHF-SATCOM): 2 available interfaces • Info-assurance features • data-diode for real-time secure AIS feed • Modular-component install over-wing install location dual-channel Iridium SATCOM, wall-mount at sextant-port location

  10. EC10: NATO System View – E3A Systems

  11. Successful EC10 Trial collaboration Secure XMPP chat Scan-Eagle FMV EC10: Summary Outcome (1) -XMPP Chat-directed ISR Management Secure XMPP Chat Demo L-band SE FMV Demo SE Full Motion Video + PPLI + UAV commands + mIRC TTNT HF / UHF FMV ScanEagle Mobile Comm Vehicle (MCV) XMPP Chat T1 Line UAV commands + PPLI + SE Full Motion Video L-band HQ – JISR MGR ScanEagle GCS SE Full Motion Video + PPLI + UAV commands + mIRC

  12. AIS tracks reported in real-time routinely (EC10-provided and volunteers) track-forwarding: NIRIS track-display: ICC, TV32, or NAMESIS AIS-track-report capability operated concurrent with XMPP chat; XMPP chat used for SE tasking to investigate the track source EC10: Summary Outcome (2) – Real-Time Maritime AIS Track Reporting architecture views

  13. EC10: Summary Outcome (3) – Operational Utility • Low-bandwidth IP- comms support to concurrent Real-time AIS track-reporting, Still-Imagery Download, Chat-directed C2ISR-Management

  14. Summary • NATO’s Operational & Technical Environment Changing • Emerging Missions Involve: • Information Intensive Defensive & Expeditionary Operations • Expanded Commander’s Reach • Constrained Timelines • NAEW&C offers Opportunities to “Extend the Mission” • Capability Integration Leverages Current & Emerging Technologies • Innovative Capabilities Exploitation Blends C2 & Joint ISR • Permits NAEW&C to evolve into a Joint C2ISR Platform & integrate into the wider Joint C2ISR system • Applicable to all platforms with access to HF, UHF, and/or Iridium • MPA • Air Transport • Ground Systems NATO UNCLASSIFIED
