4. Secure Network Server (SNS) / Secure Network Processor • Aircraft lack a defined network and/or data systems that support the ability to receive and share critical updates • Platforms lack a threat detection/warning system that is integrated for dissemination within the MAGTF/Joint Task Force (JTF) • Platforms lack the capability to transmit/receive timely, relevant, and accurate information (data) • Platforms lack the ability to receive sensor data and convert it to usable formats. • Platforms lack the ability to store, share, and exchange information Marine Aviation Digital Systems Interoperability, Aug 2007 “To achieve future interoperability, legacy systems will require ‘digital bridges’ to each other, while new systems will require detailed interoperability analysis and alignment of procurement plans.” – LtGen Trautman, DCA Assault Support Gaps Priority High Marine Corps Warfighting Publication(MCWP) 3-2 “Marine aviation is designed to operate as an integral part of a combined-arms organization… It also provides the MAGTF commander with long-range fires (including electronic fires), intelligence collection, enhanced mobility, and force protection...” High High Medium Required by multiple aircraft Medium

5. SNS Requirements • The net server / processor is a multiple security level device that connects on-board data sources with multiple data-links, allows reassign-able application processing space, and provides a certified security boundary for multiple domain processing. • Bridge between mission hardware and airborne tactical networking • Internal partitioning and isolation of separate security domains allowing processing and display of different classifications concurrently • Solve the operational requirement to collect and distribute multiple classifications of data. • Flight crew can operate at either a higher or lower classification than passengers FACE compatible hardware and FACE conformant software

6. SNS Diagram and Potential Platforms Radio Connectivity BFT-2 CDL / FMV MUOS / DAMA TBD ATDL CNR HF IP Platform Specific Systems Displays OFP / MC Map / Flight Data • Offensive Air and Assault Support • Aircraft sensor reports to DASC (e.g. iASE, NT ISR, etc.), decision support, and connection to Joint Forces’ networks • AH-1W / Z, MH-53K, MH-60R/S, UH-1Y • Offensive Air, Recon, and Transport • Troop connections to network assets, FMV and other NRT imagery, and BLOS to LOS network routing for supported ground assets • MV-22, KC-130J (tanker or HH) Secure Net Server Network Control & Administration Data Routing Cross Domain Service Data X-late Apps Mission Specific Systems ASE Sensors NT ISR Video Systems Troop Cmdr Station Ground Element Assistance GIG Connections Perception Augmentation Isolated Users’ Connectivity Fundamental Asset For Future Airborne Networking Architectures

7. Product Line Approach for Mission Computer Systems • Multiple platforms have identified requirements for new or upgraded Mission Computers • Family of systems with interchangeable components based on industry standard formats • Power supplies • Processor cards • Graphics cards • Network components • Waveform generation • Ability to upgrade to next generation card without need for redesign FACE Compatibility Desired

8. Software Licenses • Procurement of software licenses an important part of future acquisitions • Potential licensing options • License as part of hardware procurement • Operating Systems • Drivers • System services • One time license – Perpetual license • Can be procured with APN funding • Annual license to include product upgrades - Subscription • Requires O&M,N funding • More difficult to manage • Metrics for determination of best value • Logistics support of licenses software

9. Other Areas of Interest • Data loader / data recorder • Radar altimeters • Possible RFI • Transition of legacy mission computers • OFP porting to new hardware • Tools??

10. Potential POM-16 Issues • Secure Network Server: PMA209 to pursue if platform requirements established • Multiple platforms needing new or upgraded mission computer that will be FACE compatible

11. Takeaways • Looking for new ways of doing business • Ways to reduce cost of computer systems and sensors is critical • Items with the potential for long term cost savings will be an important consideration • FACE compatible hardware is most desirable • FACE conformant software is the future
