PMA209 2012 Core Avionics Master Plan - NAVAIR - U.S. Navy

Core Avionics Master Plan 2012 Appendix A-2Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW). (2010-2014) SRW is a JTRS waveform beingdeveloped for dismounted and unattended applications with severe Size Weight andPower (SWaP) constraints. The US Army plans to utilize SRW as a stub network,interconnecting to other stub networks via WNW. Waveform characteristics include: 3 Signals in Space: SRW, AJ and Low Probability of Intercept / Low Probability ofDetection (LPI/LPD). Features to minimize SWaP: incorporation of a network architecture thatminimizes power demands, optimizes voice communications, and minimizesprocessing requirements. Formation of stub/leaf networks that rely on WNW for backbone services. Unique security requirements that support unclassified and classified nodes.The waveform is designed to operate in varying bandwidths from 75 KHz to 32 MHzand operating frequencies from 225 MHz to 2.5 GHz. The SRW waveform has athreshold data rate requirement of 1.2 Mbps in a 1.2 MHz channel. Achievable range isa function of the path loss, which is a function of terrain, geometry and operatingfrequency.C. Wide Area Networking (WAN).The GIG is defined as: The globally interconnected set of information capabilities,associated processes and personnel for collecting, processing, storing,disseminating, and managing information on demand to warfighters, policy makers,and support personnel. The GIG includes all owned and leased communications andcomputing systems and services, software (including applications), data, securityservices and other associated services necessary to achieve information superiority.It also includes National Security Systems. The GIG supports IP networking inaccordance with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) established standards.The Defense Information Security Agency (DISA) procures and controls the DefenseInformation System Network (DISN), which provides the transport infrastructure(teleports, leased lines and commercial satellites) to enable GIG connectivity. Teleportsare shore satellite gateways linking deployed forces to the GIG via connectivity tomultiple satellite systems. DISA also manages the development of infrastructureservices referred to as Net Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) that enable user access(portals), content discovery and delivery, and synchronous collaboration in a serviceoriented architecture foundation. Further services and additional capabilities areexpected to be forthcoming in accordance with the JROC approved GIG 2.0 InitialCapabilities Document (ICD).1. Current capabilities.The Navy organic shore infrastructure that interfaces Naval forces with theDISN/GIG is made up of Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area MasterStations (NCTAMS), Naval Computer and Telecommunications Stations (NCTS) andNetwork Operations Centers (NOC). PMW 790 manages this infrastructure to providethe Navy WAN. The Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) serves as the tacticalWAN, providing the network infrastructure and services for Navy IP network operations.A-2 Information Exchange 22
