I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 2 Overview The Vision The Airborne Network Airborne Networking Integration (ANI) Way Ahead

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 3 The Vision “We are going to figure out how to have conversations between airborne platforms, unmanned, on the ground, in the air. We’ll build a constellation that marries up the manned and the unmanned. Create that network in the sky that will pass the information around.” General John P. Jumper Former Air Force Chief Of Staff Keys to success are Net-Centric Operations, IP based routing, shared data, and assured service

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 4 The Vision XC Joint C4ISR Roadmap AF Near Term – 2009 Fielding Datalinks Minimal IP Low Band AEHF SATCOM Limited Gateways Mid-Term – 2013 JTRS/FAB-T IP-Based Waveforms IP Routed SATCOM (TSAT) Net Centric Services High Band AEHF SATCOM Long-Term – 2020 Full Platform Integration Complete Air & Space Architecture Collaborative Environment Joint / Coalition Must be built “Joint/Combined” from the start

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 6 The Airborne Network Definition That portion of the ConstellationNet that provides communication transport services and enterprise services to, from, or between network subscribers on platforms that are capable of flight and will provide capabilities to link airborne platforms with surface and space network entry points Connects the airborne subscriber with core services from the Global Information Grid (GIG) Governed by architecture, standards, and policy that will operationalize the implementation and management of the airborne domain as part of the enterprise

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 7 The Airborne Network Main Components AN Transport Radios, Waveforms, Antenna, Data Bus/LAN AN Information Services Network Mgmt, Security, IA, Routing Mission Applications Close Air Support, Air Interdiction Air Refueling, Special Ops Guidance Architecture, Standards, Policy, Roadmap AN Infrastructure Backbone, Ground Entry, Space Entry, Router/Gateway

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 13 Way Ahead Integration of applicable AN components necessary to deliver a warfighting capability Define mission threads prioritized by the Joint Community Align efforts toward mission thread priorities across the AF Determine ANI priority for FY08 POM Provide planning guidance to MAJCOMs, PEOs/SPOs, and other Services (e.g. AN Architecture, Roadmap)

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 14 Challenges Define protocols and procedures What is appropriate based on mission need? Authentication Latency will impact fast moving platforms Crypto Key Management Who – What – Where Multi-Level Security Must operate Unclass – Secret – Top Secret – SCI – Coalition Information Assurance/Net Ops How do we manage/protect highly mobile platforms in an ad- hoc environment?

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 15 Roadmap For Success Common vision and goals Near term Develop Airborne Networking Integration (ANI) Overall approach, structure, and manageable process Integrated POM -- priorities Develop operational capabilities based on mission threads and scenarios Validate AN technology through modeling and simulation Long Term Integrated connectivity to the GIG Integrated TTPs for information assurance and network ops Airborne network connectivity services Net-enabled airborne applications
