  1. JOINT INTER-OPERABILITY • #1 Priority from last two TLAM OAGs • GOAL: Raise the joint commander’s flexibility in using TLAM • Major limitation: PC Mission Distribution Systems (PCMDS) and Weapon Control Systems (WCS) are classified TOP SECRET (GENSER).

  2. SIPRNET PCMDS JWICS TOP SECRET SECRET SCI TLAM C2 AND NETWORKScurrent EMAIL INTERNET CHAT C2 NODES TACLANE TCOMMS ADOCS CVN TBMCS # FLEET CMSA PFPS/FALCON VIEW X X X TTWCS FRU GCCS/C2PC X JOINT WARFIGHTERS (CAOC, SOF, COCOM, ETC)

  3. LIMITATIONS • TOP SECRET controls • Ships do not load tactical mission libraries until just before deployment • Limited personnel cleared for TOP SECRET • “Sneaker-netting” required to transfer information • Difficult integration with other war-fighting tools • Manual translation (via disk) required • TLAM mission plans • ATO/ACO databases • Avoidance overlays • Most file formats are incompatible

  4. ??? Q: SO WHAT’S TOP SECRET? A: NOT MUCH

  5. TOP SECRET • Worldwide Master Mission Library (MML) • Maintained by CMSA on a TS/SCI computer network • Selected OPLANs and CONPLANs • A small percentage of INDIGO messages • DSMAC scenes (next slide)

  6. SECRET • 99.9% of individual missions • Theater mission libraries (TML) • DSMAC scenes are SECRET, however they are created on TS systems, classifying them by default • Training INDIGOs or tactical INDIGOs following the start of an operation • ADOCS, TBMCS, GCCS/C2PC, CHAT, SIPRNET, PFPS/FALCON VIEW

  7. TRANSITION TO SOS • Allows for joint inter-operability • Opens the door for Tactical employment • Removes need for TLAM only training systems • Ships can carry tactical missions year round • Training cycle and evaluations can use tactical missions • Majority of TLAM ops are SECRET • Non-Material Solution • Replace TS crypto with SECRET crypto on MDS Network • Scrub all PCMDS sites for TS information • # Fleets, CSG/ESG, ships would carry TML only

  8. SIPRNET PCMDS JWICS TOP SECRET SECRET SCI PROPOSED C2 EMAIL INTERNET CHAT C2 NODES TACLANE TCOMMS ADOCS CVN TBMCS # FLEET CMSA PFPS/FALCON VIEW TTWCS FRU GCCS/C2PC

  10. What if TS controls are required? • Limited, discrete cases • TOP SECRET or covert strikes • Training/workup modeling OPLAN targets and timing • Multiple options • Load PCMDS to stand-alone or JWICS LAN computers at # Fleets for TOP SECRET strike package preparations • Rehearse TS strikes at the SECRET level using “mirror” strikes as TACAIR does

  11. What if TS controls are required? • Multiple options (cont) • Use legacy procedures to prevent network contamination- i.e. paper INDIGO only, no ESP • Intentional “contamination” of the SECRET system for discrete cases (not preferred) • Evaluate re-classification of the strikes from TOP SECRET to SECRET but use SPECAT caveats for extremely tight controls

  12. SUMMARY and WAY AHEAD • 1% of operations and data are TOP SECRET • SECRET systems are widely inter-operable within the Joint war-fighting environment • Research integration of SECRET PCMDS into TED/TOST, PFPS, ADOCS,TBMCS, etc.
