Tactical Data Network (TDN)
Data Distribution System-
Modular (DDS-M)
Description
The TDN DDS-M provides the tactical Unclassified
but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router, Secret Internet
Protocol Router, and Coalition Network backbone
data communications infrastructure to the Marine Air
Ground Task Force (MAGTF). DDS-M allows users
to access to web surfing, send and receive e-mail, file
sharing/storage, perform required Information Assurance
functions, and to host mission-essential applications.
DDS-M provides firewalls, servers and data
infrastructure components that allow tactical and deployed
USMC forces to connect to the Defense Information
Systems Agency and Theater and USMC Enterprise
Networks. Programs such as Combat Operations
Center, Common Aviation Command and Control
System, and Common Logistics Command and Control
System utilize DDS-M for world-wide connectivity.
DDS-M is comprised of both core and expansion
modules. Core modules include the Configuration
Module (CM), Communications Switch Module, LAN
Services Module, LAN Extension Module, Application
Server Module and Data Storage Module. Expansion
modules include the WAN Service Module (WSM),
Multimedia Control Module, Multimedia Distribution
Module, Enterprise Switch Module (ESM), Deployed
Information Assurance Tools Suite, and Information
Assurance Module (IAM).
Operational Impact
TDN DDS-M provides extension of the Marine
Corps Enterprise Network via the Global Information
Grid to forward deployed forces – i.e. the last tactical
mile. The modular packaging of the DDS-M provides
a ‘take what the mission needs’ employment concept
within the MAGTF.
