Compiled by KMI Media Group staff Army Project 25 Land Mobile Radios Authorized to Operate Harris Corp. has received authorization to operate (ATO) accreditation from the Department of Defense for 12 Project 25 Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems used by the U.S. Army throughout North America. An ATO is formal recognition by the designated accrediting authority regarding the acceptable level of risk associated with operating a system for DoD. After implementing all designated IA controls, all Harris Army P25 LMR systems received ATO accreditation for processing, storing Trusted Network Environment Approved for Cross- Domain Security The Unified Cross Domain Management Office (UCDMO) has approved the latest version of General Dynamics C4 Systems’ Trusted Network Environment (TNE) suite of cross-domain, information-sharing software tools for use by U.S. government organizations. The upgraded version, TNE 10, is now available for customers including the Department of Defense and intelligence communities, as well as international users. Among the upgrades, TNE 10 delivers the familiar Microsoft Office suite of software tools for more user-friendly and intuitive operation, as well as transitioning users from the Solaris 8 to the Solaris 10 operating system. TNE is currently the only product approved by UCDMO that enables users to see e-mail and files at various security levels within a single application. The product’s security capabilities meet or exceed strict federal government standards for processing the most sensitive classified information. By using data-labeling technology to separate classified and unclassified data, users see only what their individual security profiles allow, without awareness of or visibility into other data files, applications or users on the enterprise. Based on the user’s profile, TNE 10 accesses, creates, combines and exchanges various levels of classified information, including e-mail, without having to physically move from one secure networked computer system to another. 18 | MIT 15.1 A new release of the VX Series (VX900, VX1200 and VX1800) from Network Equipment Technologies, running software release 4.7.4, has been added to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Approved Products List. This updated certification adds native support for multilevel precedence and preemption and transmitting mission-critical communications information. The Harris P25IP system combines the benefits of an IP-based network with industry recognized P25 standards. The result is a single cost-effective IP-based network that is reliable, scalable and secure while providing communications interoperability. Harris also delivers established IA methodology that leverages enterprise security with a programmatic view of overall mission assurance. Multi-Service Voice Switch Offers Multilevel Preemption The SwiftLink Tactical Transportable Tropo (3T) system from TeleCommunication Systems (TCS), which recently received an industry award as an innovative satellite technology product, is a small and lightweight troposcatter solution with the most robust tropo technology available on the market. The result of teaming with Comtech Systems, this solution enhances the TCS product portfolio by adding beyond line of sight capability to its Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) flyaway family. TCS SwiftLink 3T ensures that users have access to long-haul, high-bandwidth, low-latency tactical communications. It uses a C-band feed to deliver troposcatter communications utilizing common modular VSAT platforms with multiple upgradeable frequency options. (MLPP) to the VX product line, greatly improving its efficiency in DISA’s core satellite facilities. Users are no longer required to use Leased Line Emulation Mode, freeing many primary rate interfaces (PRI) at constrained downlink facilities. In addition to MLPP, this release of VX software supports standards-based V.150.1 secure call relay over an IP infrastructure. The VX Series retains its proprietary, error-tolerant method of secure call relay, dubbed SCIP framing, and supports both T-1 and E-1 interfaces, using both Channel Associated Signaling and PRI signaling. The APL certification is for T-1 ISDN only. Troposcatter System Offers Robust Communications Technology The solution is available with either TCS’s 1.2M or 2.0 SNAP VSAT antennas and is compatible with the frequency bands and operating diversity prevalent today. Through the use of the Comtech Systems CS6716A operationally proven tropo modem, the TCS SwiftLink 3T system utilizes dynamic bandwidth allocation to minimize operator set-up, resulting in less training, troubleshooting and configuration. Path analysis software tools with integrated planning maps ensure mission-critical communication links are established without the burden of complex configuration, giving today’s warfighters a reliable, end-to-end high bandwidth solution. Importantly, it offers backwards interoperability with legacy tropo systems. www.MIT-kmi.com
Future SATCOM Acquisition Contracts Announced ARTEL, a provider of information technology and managed telecom/network services, has announced receipt of the first contract award to provide satellite services under a new $5 billion General Services Administration (GSA) and Defense Information Services Agency joint-contract vehicle. The order, which is worth tens of millions of dollars, was the first award of the Future COMSATCOM Services Acquisition (FCSA) contract, under the GSA Schedule, to provide transponded capacity and subscription services. Subsequently SES World Skies U.S. Government Solutions announced FCSA awards, also in the transponded capacity and subscription services categories. Tellabs 7100 Nano Optical Transport System (OTS) is an ideal solution for mission critical packet optical applications. The platform is scalable, versatile and reliable. The Tellabs 7100 Nano shelf supports lineside rates scaling from one 10 Gb/s optical wavelength up to 88 DWDM channels of 40 Gb/s on a single fiber pair, while consuming a small amount of space (5RU) and power. Depending on the modules employed, it can be an end terminal in a point-to-point application, an OC-192 SONET/SDH ADM, or an active multi-degree node in a dynamic optical ROADM network. The Tellabs 7100 system client-side interfaces and internal switching features support Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and OTN transport and service delivery. In multiple Ethernet and SONET/ SDH applications, it reduces capital expenses Packet Optical Transport Offers Higher Bandwidth and Lower Cost by more than 60 percent and operational expenses by up to 85 percent. The Tellabs 7100 system integrates multiple technologies to enable efficient control and management for manual or highly automated operation. More than 4,500 Tellabs 7100 Security Solution Offers IP-to-ID Mapping Technology The latest version of the Fidelis SPX network security solution from Fidelis Security Systems now has the ability to associate any network activity to a specific user identity in realtime using dynamic IP address to user identity (IP-to-ID) mapping technology. Working with A10 Networks ID Series network identity management appliances, Fidelis XPS customers can now leverage IP-to-ID technology to automatically identify the activities of individual users or directorybased groups, enabling an organization to visualize a user’s network activities, implement user or group-based security policies, and link network security events with particular users for user-aware forensic analysis. With Fidelis XPS’s integration with A10 Networks’ ID Series appliances, customers can now extend the unparalleled visibility they already have into protocols, applications, content and threats to the identity of the user on the network, with the ability to tie specific network events with actual user identities. Working in conjunction with A10 Networks’ ID Series products, Fidelis XPS can consume dynamic IP-to-ID information from multiple user directories, operating systems and networking devices using a modular, agent-less approach, and apply that information to all network traffic in real-time. systems are deployed in optical networks around the world, with measured availability greater than 99.9999 percent. The Tellabs 7100 system is certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command. www.MIT-kmi.com MIT 15.1 | 19
