  1. PMA209 Industry Day: Communications and Mission Systems (CAMS) “Achievement through Collaboration” John Murray PMA209 Capability Manager for: Communications and Mission Systems john.f.murray@navy.mil 301-757-6145 NAVAIR Public Release SPR#: 2014-531 Distribution Statement A: "Approved for Public Release Distribution is Unlimited” PMA209 develops, integrates, and delivers avionics solutions that meet customer requirements, enable interoperability, and maximize affordability.

  2. Discussion Topics • Communications and Mission Systems • eWICS • TACCOM • MUOS • BFSA Evolution • Digital Interoperability • Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST) • Software Licenses DesiredWarfighting Capabilities Capability Enhancements Capability Elements Enablers • FACE Open Architecture, • HOST Standards • Advanced displays • Higher speed, higher capacity transfer/storage • Faster, more stable & higher fidelity planning • Mission Processor • Data Transfer Devices • Network Switches • Displays • Recorders • JMPS-M Planning Stations • Information Processing • Data Transfer & Distribution • Display • Data Storage • Mission Planning & Execution • Rapid & Affordable Capability Upgrades • Real-Time Precision Engagement • Joint Collaborative Warfare • Network Centric Operations • Increased Lethality

  3. Encrypted Wireless Inter-Com System (eWICS) • Encrypted system capable of operating in the shipboard EMI environment and compatible with existing aircraft ICS, Headset and microphone combinations • Remove long cord • Pending Platforms: CH-53E, HH-60H, MH-53E, MH-60S, MV-22B & UH-1Y • Dec 2013 – RFI to invite compliant systems to undergo EMI testing

  4. TACCOM/ARC-210 AESA radar Over 140 airborne, seaborne, and land based platforms use ARC-210 equipment.

  5. Over The Horizon CommunicationsMobile User Objective System Why MUOS? • Combatant Commanders depend on Narrowband SATCOM to complete critical missions requiring Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) communications • Existing UHF satellites are currently over subscribed and demand is increasing • Availability of channels for missions is rapidly declining due to health of legacy satellites • Legacy UHF will be at 40% capacity by CY16 • No MUOS capable airborne radios exist today • Mobile User Objective System developed as a replacement for the UHF Follow On (UFO) satellite constellation • IOC in 2012 (one satellite) • FOC in 2016 (four satellites) • Each Satellite will have 2 payloads • Legacy UHF payload with ½ number of usable accesses* • Modern MUOS payload • UFO to MUOS Capacity Improvement Working POM17 Issue for MUOS – Requirement difficult to pin down

  6. Blue Force Situational AwarenessEvolution to JBC-P JBC-P JBC-P Enablers FBCB2/BFT-AVN A/C Equipment New BFT2 Equipment Software Upgrades for Mission Enhancement LNA L-Band Antenna, cables& wiring Transceiver DC-DC Converter Mini-Router EDM Exploring SW & Card solutions for H-1 space limitations Squadron or Shipboard Command Station TOC Kit • Planned Capabilities • Interface with on-board sensors & subsystems • Auto msg on-board data fill-in • Audible/visual alerts for C2 & air traffic de-confliction (Army TAIS) • Ability to input, pass, and display still photos/imagery • Laser warnings displayed • Gateway with GiG & Link 16 KGV-72 • Capabilities • PLI: 2300m, 1 min updates • FBCB2 • 2 way blue SA • Tailored 2 way C2 messaging • Color moving map • Capabilities • PLI: 500m, 4 sec, 8 sec latency • Type 1 Encryption (SIPR) • Full duplex • >10X improved bandwidth, • more users, more data 2004 2012 2015 2017 *

  7. Digital Interoperability 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.” – LtGenTrautman, DCA 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...” Requirement Document Pending Approval

  8. Hardware Open Standards Technology (HOST) • Initial solution: Mission Computer Alternative (MCA) - a state-of-the-art common GFE mission computer family using standards developed under HOST • Implement latest technologies and architectures (i.e. FACE compatible) • Customer identifies performance specifications and the Government produces hardware using standard, approved family of products (multiple footprints, weights, and card configurations in a single product line) • Gov’t defined and owned interfaces (minimize/eliminate proprietary interfaces) • Opens up competition for initial and all follow-on contracts, Production & Support • Cost Savings/Avoidance in all life cycle phases (NRE, Recurring and sustainment) • Fulfills AIR-00 objective on Affordability by greatly reducing O&S Costs Eliminates multiple unique (stove-piped) solutions that must be independently sustained & funded.

  9. Software Licenses • Ability to procure licenses for FACE conformant software • Potential licensing options • One time license with procurement • Can be procured with APN funding • Annual license to include product upgrades • Requires O&M,N funding • More difficult to manage • License as part of hardware procurement • Operating Systems • Drivers • System services • Logistics support of licenses software

  10. POM-17 Issues • eWICS • Ensure the requirement is met for an encrypted wireless solution for the NAE • HOST MCA • Multiple platforms needing new or upgraded mission computer that will be FACE compatible • Looking for lead platform • BFT2 • Ensure continued growth of Joint Interoperability of digital information through the battle space • Digital Interoperability/Gateway Functionality

  11. Take-Aways • Funding is tight • Ways to reduce cost of computer systems and sensors is critical • Only items with the potential for long term cost savings will be considered • Hardware must be built using HOST Standards and FACE compatible • Software applications must be FACE conformant
